Thank you Bhikkhuni, for a very well done dharma talk. For roughly 90 percent of the terminal cancer patients you spoke of the end comes quickly. I am part of the other 10 percent, unfortunately. This, Canada's version of 'ANZAC Day', and the loss of two friends and a family member have made life extremely difficult for me over the last 3 weeks. The wisdom you have shared here is extremely helpful. I look forward to hearing more of your wisdom in future. Thank you very much! :)
"One should seek for others the happiness one desires for himself"
Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama, c. 563 - c. 483 B.C.)
Knowing and believing are two very different things. Most of us 'know' the Golden Rule, and can repeat the words as often as neccessary. Those who truly believe the concept live it, and in so doing receive as much joy as they give. It works for all of us, not just monks and nuns! ;)
Indeed, contemplation on the impermanent nature of things can give rise to non-attachments. I also really enjoy the explanation on the relationship between effort, mindfulness in daily life , and sitting meditation.
Painful memories can take a long time to heal.
