The End of 'Evil'

Right view is an essential aspect of the Buddhist path and involves changing the way we perceive things in order to let go of suffering. Death is a natural part of life and it's important to have the right view and understanding about it. It's not an evil or something to be afraid of, but a part of the cycle of life. One way to have the right view is by remembering the story of The Falling Leaves or The Emperor's Ring, which teaches us that everything in life, whether good or bad, will pass. Ajahn Brahm explains the concept of "right view" in Buddhism, which is a way of thinking and perceiving the world that leads to happiness and peace. He gives examples and stories to illustrate this, including the story of two chicken farmers and the story of two bad bricks in a wall. Ajahn Brahm also talks about the importance of accepting and embracing our mistakes and flaws, as they make us human and can lead to laughter and connection with others. It is about focusing on the positive, letting go of the past and not worrying about the future. Living in the present is the key to happiness. Ajahn Brahm shares some stories to answer questions about good and evil in the world. He talks about how there is both good and bad in everyone and how it's important to see the good in others. Ultimately, the speaker believes that focusing on what unites us rather than what divides us can bring about healing and understanding in the world. — This dhamma talk was originally recorded using a low quality MP3 to save on file size on 7th December 2007.
