This week’s topic is An Enigma Inside A Mystery. We typically freeze in amazement or feverishly search for causes when we suffer dukkha (life’s tension). We’ve probably all experienced how these reactions exacerbate the problem. The Buddha taught that dukkha is a puzzle that can be solved: it doesn’t have to be a mystery. We can learn the resolution that brings us from bewilderment to marvellous release by paying quiet attention to the pattern of the difficulty.
This week’s theme is: Awakening Happiness. Awakening is the flowering of the path — a delightful release from the inner fires of greed, aversion, and confusion. As these burdens fall away, happiness is liberated — bright and unbound. Our Dharma Library thrives through collective generosity.
