Description

In this episode Sis. Kila shares an overview of the Sutra from the Buddha on the Better Way to Live Alone.  The Buddha teaches the key to freedom and stability is to not pursue the past, loose yourself in the future or be swept away in the present.  Also to focus on the noble ones' teaching of love and understanding and the community of harmony and awareness (sangha, church, temple, life group, etc.)

Excerpt for meditation as copied from TheDewdrop.org


Do not pursue the past.

Do not lose yourself in the future.

The past no longer is.

The future has not yet come.

Looking deeply at life as it is

In the very here and now,

The practitioner dwells

In stability and freedom.

We must be diligent today.

To wait till tomorrow is too late.

Death comes unexpectedly.

How can we bargain with it?

The sage calls a person who

Dwells in mindfulness

Night and day,

The one who knows the better way to live alone.
