Dear Friends,
This week's dharma talk was given by Brother Phap Hai at the 2012 Mindfulness Retreat at Deer Park Monastery.
Known for his poetic and engaging dharma talks, he shares the Buddha's teachings about the three roots of our suffering; greed, ill-will, and delusion; and the eight winds or worldly dharmas; gain, loss, status, disgrace, praise, blame, pleasure and pain.
Brother Phap Hai challenges us to look critically at our lives and ask two questions: what is practice? and are we sure?
You will notice the sound of the wind and a lovely baby during the talk. Enjoy the imperfectness of the recording. =)
Enjoy this moment to stop and look deeply.
Deeply penetrating and inspiring, as always, and precisely the medicine I needed right now at this moment. A deep and humble bow of gratitude to you.
