Synopsis:
Timeless truths in a modern day context, providing answers to questions that have always intrigued us on family relationships, sexuality, death and dying.
Two Western Theravada Buddhist teachers present a personal view of the teachings of Buddhism for a contemporary audience.
"The main reason for meditating is to become conscious of those areas of mind which are unconscious. it is these unconscious aspects which drive us to do, say and think in certain patterns. Some of these patterns are healthy and therefore bring happiness in their wake. Others are unhealthy, causing us distress. For the vast majority of the world`s population, becoming conscious of unconscious areas of mind is of little interest. People don`t see the profit in it...The origin of the problem of suffering is within yourself. The origin of the problem is always craving, which includes specific factors of the mind such as jealousy, envy, resentment, greed, anger, and so on. None of these things can exist unless there is an ignorance of what life is really like. None of these mental causes can exist unless there is an ignorance of the way in which mind really works." |
