A talk on balancing faith and wisdom, in honor of Vesak

The four Satipatthanas can be mapped onto the four Noble Truths

Using Ruth King's nomenclature for the Three Characteristics, this talk explores the ways in which we misperceive in our daily life.

Second of three

Sometimes we avoid extremes, and sometimes we embrace them.

It is our relationship to money that determines the suffering or freedom around it. The talk includes practical exercises to explore your relationship to money.

Kim Allen gave the third talk in a speaker series titled "Everyday Dhamma." She discussed how money is an important part of our life, as well as a potent realm for practice. Much of what the Buddha said about wealth and money was about our relationship to money, because this is where our suffering and freedom lies. More specifically, we can easily have an unwholesome relationship to our wealth. For example, we can become miserly and crave even more wealth. Or we can establish a wholesome relationship with our wealth, such as supporting our family, our friends, and the Dhamma. In this way, we can relate to money with wisdom and generosity, instead of grasping and fear.
