Dhamma Talks - Going Beyond Suffering into Peace (2011/2012)
|
This collection of wide ranging talks and question-and-answer sessions have been recorded live. Several of these talks emphasize the value of Faith as a spiritual 'power' and as a vital source of energy and joy in our lives. We also explore some interesting metaphysical contemplations for the purpose of broadening our 'open-mindnedness.' Other talks stress the importance of Loving-Kindness and Compassion, and explain how the contemplation of Not-Self actually helps us to forgive our conventional 'selves,' as well as 'others.' This practice of contemplating Not-Self and of offering forgiveness opens up a loving and accepting space within our hearts, and enables us to drop the painful burden of holding onto grudges.
