SIT-A-LONG with JUNDO: ENGAGED ENERGY
from TREELEAF ZENDO PODCAST · host Treeleaf Zendo
We continue a series of talks on the Buddhist "Paramitas" (Virtues) which aid in our engaged and charitable work in the world. Today ... Verve, Vigor, Energy! ... In Sanscrit, this is called the Virya Paramita ... which comes from the same root as vim and virile! And that energy is not only of use for all our social and political efforts to fix this world, clean up our country or town ... it is energy for whatever we need to "get er done" in life. And like all the "Perfections", it recognizes that we are only human, not perfect. Even superman needs to get his rest sometime. Further reading and discussion for this talk are available on the Treeleaf forum: SIT-A-LONG with JUNDO: ENGAGED ENERGY »
