Our Walk for Peace, Ayya Medhanandi

About this episode

Ayya Medhanandi discusses how the Buddha guides us towards peace and the importance of awareness and loving-kindness in overcoming negative emotions.

Like a mother, the Buddha walks us in the ways of the Dhamma, teaching us how to turn the mind to peace and true refuge. Our fear of fear can be disabling, but just to witness our fear or grief or any unwholesome thought is empowering. So awareness, loving-kindness and inner harmony help to dispel feelings of anger, fear, pain, or sorrow. Whatever their origin, we see their impermanent, troublesome and empty nature, and we abide in the peace of pure conscious awareness. This very life is our walk for peace. And we never give up on love. Breakfast Dhamma, Sati Saraniya Hermitage, Sept 16, 2024
