The Dharma of Scrooge 2013

Dickens' wonderful tale, "A Christmas Carol," is a very human story that we can all relate to. Whether one is studying and practicing on a spiritual path or not, this story reminds us that in the end, life is really about human kindness and how we relate to one another. While Scrooge is an extreme character, a man totally lost in the world of himself, we all have seeds of Scrooge in us. To see this and leave the unhappy world of self for the joyous experience of practicing generosity with others is to truly awaken.
