In this talk, Bhante shares thoughts on how developing a wise mind can help us live a truly prosperous life. Using a story about a fierce demon, Bhante explains that hatred is like a poison that harms the one who carries it, while loving-kindness (metta) brings deep peace and happiness. The talk discusses the Buddha’s teachings on overcoming the “demon” of anger through love, compassion, and by understanding the root of our emotions using a simple four-step method. Bhante also shares a story about the Buddha’s relatives to remind us how good actions lead to both personal growth and a peaceful society. He ends by explaining that true prosperity is not about money or possessions but about a mind filled with wisdom, kindness, and generosity. When we practice these qualities regularly, we can create a happier and better future for everyone.
