May Our Enemy Sleep Well - Sutta Discussion Group 17 | Venerable Canda | 17 December 2021

Sutta Discussion Group 17 \"May Our Enemy Sleep Well!\" 17.12.21

Reading from Bhikkhu Bodhi’s “Anthology of the Buddha’s Teachings on Social and Communal Harmony” taken from the Pali Canon, Ven Candā guides us through different suttas on anger, hatred and ill will to bring peace and harmony to our lives through the softening and opening of our hearts. With anger being one of the root causes of suffering, the Buddha speaks on the seven dangers that can befall an angry person and how we might approach this with wisdom and compassion.  In this time of anger and resentment between beings, the Buddha offers us solace and guidance so that we may not plant more poisonous seeds but instead cultivate our minds on the right path.

These teachings are freely offered so as to be accessible to all.
