My Dhamma talk for the week of June 24, 2019 will be from the Dhammapada. The twenty-fourth chapter of the Dhammapada is the Tanhavagga. Tanha means "thirst," "craving," "desire," and constantly grasping after satisfying life experiences.

It is through the development of restraint that the wise Dhamma practitioner is able to clearly recognize individual clinging to all manifestations of craving.

“Those unrefined, clinging to craving, are overcome in the world. Their sorrow grows like grass after the rains. Those refined, having overcome the world, released from craving, difficult to escape, their sorrow rolls away like water beads off a lotus...” (Dhammapada 24)
