My Thursday Dhamma talk streamed live at 7:15 pm Eastern US Time, will be from the Dhammapada. The sixteenth chapter of the Dhammapada is known as the Piyavagga. The Piyavagga teaches the hurtful results of unskillful desire rooted in ignorance of Four Noble Truths and the liberation from stress and suffering developed through the skillful desire or true affection or “holding dear” the Buddha’s Dhamma.

“Entangled with what is not their task, ignoring what is their task, having dismissed the goal of understanding to grasp after what is desired, the fool envies the wise who followed the Dhamma..” (Dhammapada 16)
