Step By Step To Liberation | 7th October 2023

One with complete perfections can see the Dhamma or realize the Dhamma. This realization arises because of merits and goodness from the past. But one who has done little good, has little wisdom and much ignorance, and this is the cause for suffering to arise.

Of the ten perfections which Lord Buddha had to accumulate to the fullest, the perfection of Dana, giving, was the first. And when the Buddha taught, he taught about giving first. Sacrificing external wealth is giving up miserliness and attachment to one’s belongings. It’s like transforming crude gains into the more refined gains of goodness and merits.

Venerable Ajahn Anan teaches us to see the importance of giving, morality and mental cultivation because it is the way to a peaceful and happy mind, step by step on the path to liberation.
