When we get what we want and desire, then the craving to want to get more, to want to be something more, and to want to get more things, goes on with no end. We may feel that the most important and best thing in our life is to get whatever that we like, of everything and in all ways. If we think that this desire is the best for our life, then it is a thought that is not correct. And we can’t let greed come and control us, otherwise it will be even more chaotic. And then we will live our lives in the present society, having mindfulness and wisdom that has careful consideration and is all-rounded. So what is important is having Dhamma which is the way to protect our minds well. So this is Dhamma, that we know as, being impermanent and being uncertain, which arises very clearly in the present situation. Sometimes we may very quickly lose those whom we love and like, those we honor and revere, or those whom we respect. And in our life being born till now, we may have never faced anything like this before. We see things like this in the present situation.

They can give encouragement to their mother like this. But that young child says to the mother that there is no need to worry about them.

And this squeezes the heart of the father and mother a lot. And the young child needs to separate and be quarantined to be treated for their sickness. The mother has to go to a controlled centre to get treated for her sickness.

Because we have never lived in a peaceful way before, a life that is free from enjoyment and fun.īut when it comes to the present situation, there are even young children who are separated from their mother. And when we get a lot of pressure and are controlled, then there is stress and suffering arising. This has caused the way we live in the world to change. But this isn’t possible in present day society, which has the infectious virus, that we know, Covid-19. We try to get whatever we feel like we want, and we want things quickly, in the shortest way possible. In the current state of society in the present day, we follow our moods when we do work, we like to do the things that we feel like doing, and we are quick tempered. The training (learning) in Dhamma is for the purpose of progressing the mind to be better. Welcome to all the monks and novices and blessings to all the laity. Homage to the Blessed One, Noble One, the Rightly Self-Awakened One What follows is a rough transcript of a Dhamma talk.
