Be still.\n Free from fear and attachment,\n Know the sweet joy of the way.\n—The Buddha, from the Dhammapada\nWhen things pile up and when we get overwhelmed, it’s easy to leave our natural state of ease and joy and to enter into a constricted state. We might even mistakenly identify this as virtue if we do it during a solemn time. But to do this is is not in accord with the teachings of the Buddha.\nHere we tell how to practice this advice right here, right now.\nThe music for this episode is “Starlight” - by Podington Bear of Portland, Oregon - Thanks to composer Chad Crouch.
