Description
In this videoconference talk from 12 February 2021, Ajahn Anan discusses Chinese New Year, the topic of blessings, stories of Great Disciples, and more.
"So let us look at these blessings, that whatever the blessings that are given to others, everything comes down to having causes and conditions. So we need to practice ourselves as well. Like if we want to have a long life. Everyone wants to have a long life, of the type where we are strong. Then we need to have a mind of metta, loving-kindness, and not killing living beings, not harming living beings. This is the practice to gain long life."
