Happy New Year.

Dhamma training is the way to be free, to live with love and be aware. To find happiness for ourselves so that we can share that happiness with all beings. The greatest teachers manifest this happiness and love in their relationship with their students.

The fundamental things are the ones we have to address. Are you comfortable, are you warm, do you have enough to eat ?

The Buddha himself discovered that we have to be strong and healthy to make the practice and so the basic requirements for life are the primary concern.

The real Masters are like loving fathers, hard when they need to be, but always loving. Their advice is pure Dhamma. Take care of you, so that you can take care of others. When you have energy you will share that. When you are tired you will share that. Be something of value in the word.

There are no secrets in Dhamma. Truth is truth, love is love, wisdom is wisdom and these qualities always manifests in the simple and spontaneous acts of caring and kindness.

 

May all beings be happy.
