Overcoming Discouragement and Despair

In this videoconference talk from 3 Sep, 2021, Ajahn Anan talks about experiencing discouragement and despair, which is common amongst people in these difficult times, and how we can overcome them. "So a good method to overcome our loss of motivation and spirit, is by trying to charge the battery of our spiritual heart. We need to inject the vaccine into our spiritual hearts in order to protect against all serious illnesses. We do this through exercising and through accepting the success that others gain. We are happy with them for their success in their activities, studies, learning, and in their various occupations. When we feel this way, then we are not putting too much pressure on ourselves. We do our thing, according to our abilities, and according to our vassana parami, spiritual accumulations."
