FBA Podcast: Why Right Livelihood?

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 13 Aug, 2022 - 06:00

Practice in the Modern World

Is work just a necessity or a source of fulfillment? Is a career a hindrance or a support to our happiness and unfoldment as individuals? Should we be aiming at getting the ‘right work/life balance’ or moving beyond such distinctions? Keturaja explores Buddhist teachings on right livelihood and reflects on their relevance for us today. This talk was given at Cambridge Buddhist Center, 2018.
