Contentment

From Solihull on Wed, 11 Jun, 2014 - 12:37

On Monday we looked at what the Buddha has to say about contentment - particularly in relation to sense pleasure/sexual desire.

Come along and see whether this simple approach to living a life that brings happiness to ourselves and others works for you.

We want things to be different, that is the force that drives growth but can also be a source of pain. How does the Dharma help us relate to our experience, including the difficult aspects, and help us transform those difficulties into wisdom.

Some quotes by Bhante on the natural world

From Buddhist Action Month 2014 on Thu, 5 Jun, 2014 - 20:27“As Buddhists we are meant, we are urged to direct metta towards all living beings. That doesn’t just mean all human beings, it means all animals, insects, plants, birds, beasts of every kind. So this is the basis, we may say, of our ecological concern as Buddhists: we wish well towards all living beings.”

(The Next Twenty Years, WBO Day 1988)

“It is not that you just sit on your meditation mat radiating metta towards the world...
