The Three Dharma Seals

Satisfied Desire vs. Abiding Tranquility (September 5)

Posted on

This Sunday’s Dharma talk will contrast the fleeting satisfaction of the five worldly desires for wealth, sensual pleasure, food, fame, and sleep with the abiding tranquility of Nirvana, in which the flames of greed, anger and delusion are permanently extinguished.
