Description

In this episode, we continue exploring the beautiful mental factors with a focus on the next five: moral shame (hiri), moral dread (ottappa), non-greed (alobha), non-anger (adosa), and equanimity (tatra-majjhattatā). These qualities serve as the guardians of the world, protecting us and society from moral decay and imbalance.

We learn how moral shame and dread guide ethical behavior, how non-greed and non-anger nurture generosity and loving-kindness, and how equanimity brings balance and peace to the mind. Together with faith and mindfulness from the previous talk, these seven factors form the foundation of a wholesome, harmonious life — both individually and collectively.
