Constant Craving: How the Practice of Contentment Can Change Our Life
For as long as we can remember, happiness seems to be just around the corner. All we have to do is just get that thing — the next i-phone, the next relationship, the next vacation — the next thing that will finally give us the real happiness that we long for. But even if we do get what we want, we don’t always get the satisfaction we’d hoped for, and even if we get some satisfaction, it doesn’t seem to last! What’s going on here?! The Buddhist master Atisha likened this to drinking sea water - the more we drink, the thirstier we become.
We need to learn to find happiness in a different way. In this series, we’ll learn to recognize this constant craving that Buddha called desirous attachment, and then learn a different way to experience the deep and stable happiness we long for.
