#41: Monks on Faults - Monk Mindset


Listen Later

We always get asked what the greatest sins are or the greatest faults that we have to work on. I believe we focus on too many controversial topics and don't focus on what's important. I believe the first thing we need to focus on is love. Loving ourselves and loving others is one of the most important things we can focus on. When we talk about church and spirituality we can focus on certain aspects that aren't as important. If you are perfect in taming a certain fault or sin but you have no love you're doing it wrong. If you think you are the most perfect human alive but can't love others then you are doing it wrong. We had an old wise monk once tell us that we are called to the monastery to be joyful and not sad and depressed. If you go around hating life as a monk you're in the wrong place. The misconceptions are that monks are sad, lonely, and depressed because they are away from the world but that's not my experience. We are meant to love others and be joyful people that's the first fault we should work on. https://MonkMindset.com
