6/2/21 - Our Aspiration of Non-Violence in the Dharma
from Wednesday Wake-Up with Gregory Maloof · host wednesdaywakeup
This week we explore why a commitment to non-violence is the bedrock of the Buddha's teachings. We use stories from the ancient Pali suttas to shed light on exactly how the Buddha describes non-violence and the origins of non-violence in the ancient Indian concept of 'Ahimsa'. We also explore the Buddha's understanding of the limits of non-violence in householder life. ABOUT HOST GREGORY MALOOF Gregory Maloof is a western Dharma teacher from the Ruth Denison lineage.
