My Tuesday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion continue our structured study of the Dhammapada with this class chapter on the Sukhavagga.
Sukkha is a state of profound contentment. The Buddha taught that Dukkha, the state of ongoing confusion, deluded thinking, and ongoing disappointing and unsatisfying experiences is rooted in ignorance of Four Noble Truths. In this chapter the Buddha compares the profound contentment established through developing the Eightfold Path to those whose minds are ignorant of Four Noble Truths and the suffering that follows.
As with the Buddha’s entire Dhamma, this chapter’s relevance to current events is remarkable:
"The wise live content within a hostile world. Within a hostile world, the wise remain free of hatred…"
