What is Mara (From a Buddhist Perspective)

from Triple Gem of the North · host Triplegem

Have you looked up the word “Mara” just to be met with about 10 different definitions on what it means? In this podcast, Bhante Sathi sheds some light on the concept of our own “Mara” and how we can learn from it. Ultimately, living and being friendly with Mara means accepting life’s difficulties with awareness, compassion, and not letting attachments or emotional reactions control us. Hopefully, over time, we can even learn to “have tea” with our Maras!
