Summary
In this first talk in a series on the Eight Awarenesses of Enlightened Beings, Zuisei speaks on the first awareness: having few desires. The Buddha did not say have no desires. As humans, desire will occur—and discerning when it is skillful and unskillful is the practice. We don’t vow every day to put an end to desires because desires are bad. We’re vowing to put an end to that which gets in the way of living our lives fully. Because doing this is the most natural way to live a human life.

A Word About Wealth
We are “A Word About Wealth”, a podcast about delivering financial entertainment by tackling the often complex world of finance. We subscribe to a simple philosophy - K.I.S.S. it. Keep. It. Simple. Stupid. If you're like us, finance isn't the easiest topic to understand. There is an ocean of financial terms, a bunch of opinions on how to best manage wealth and not enough folks explaining what the heck this all means. This is why we started A Word About Wealth. We wanted a place where we could talk casually about finance, ask and answer any questions on our mind and keep it simple (stupid). =)If you have any questions, comments, or topic recommendations, please email us at [email protected]. Subscribe to listen to future episodes of “A Word About Wealth” as we strive to deliver financial entertainment to the masses.
