The Cost of Pursuing Your Desires

from The Art of Being Happy - Buddha's Guide To Modern Living · host Jethavanarama Buddhist Monastery, Sanathana Vani

Just like the weather, desire changes. Today you may desire something and put your time, energy and resources into fulfilling it. Yet, once the desire changes or wanes, you feel disheartened and hop onto the next thing you desire.  So, the cycle of chasing desires continues. And, certainly at a cost. At the cost of your true happiness. At the cost of finding true fulfilment. At the cost of understanding that you are already enough and you have everything you truly need.  Stay tuned to learn more!  Share your experience with us on WhatsApp at +916361803371
