2021.08.15 | Everyone desires freedom. We see this in a nation’s struggle for independence from oppressors, or a child’s struggle for maturity. But even though we may gain external liberation, the mind is still controlled by ignorance, craving and clinging, and thus still bound to suffering. It is only the path of virtue, samadhi and wisdom that can lead us to real happiness and genuine emancipation from the defilements.
