In this talk, Bhante shares his reflections on the power of karma and how it shapes our lives and future. Using a story about a fierce demon, Bhante explains that hatred acts like poison, harming the person who holds onto it, while loving-kindness (metta) brings peace and true happiness. The talk discusses the Buddha’s teachings on how to overcome the “demon” of anger by nurturing love and compassion, understanding the root of our emotions, and practicing a simple four-step method to release resentment. Bhante also narrates a story about the Buddha’s relatives to show how good and wholesome actions help in personal growth and in building a peaceful society. He concludes by reminding us that real prosperity is not measured by wealth but by a mind filled with wisdom, kindness, and generosity. When we practice these virtues daily, we can create a happier and more meaningful life for ourselves and everyone around us.
