Content / Description

Opposing the kilesas: "swimming against the current"(of our habits); Generosity, joy for others, gratitude: why do we deprive ourselves from those nice feelings?; Why are we heartless people?: we lost the connexion with our heart, we don't listen to our heart anymore and we became robots following our programs ; Kilesas: Practice is about becoming the Master, not being their slaves; Thai people: they start the day with generosity (putting food in the bowl for monks) and sometimes listen to Dhamma, what a good start compare to the way in the West; Learning meditation: like learning sports or piano, it takes time, step by step, we learn and don't give up;.
