The Reward Of Living In Alignment With Your Ethics

We often think of ethics as a rigid set of rules designed to earn us a future reward or avoid punishment. However, the Buddha taught that the true reward of Sila (Buddhist ethics/morality) is to be found entirely in the here and now. In this insightful talk, I explore how acting in alignment with your truest principles removes the painful undercurrents of guilt and regret that so easily create inner turbulence. By keeping your intentions clean and true, your mind naturally settles into tranquility and contentment, creating the ideal foundation from which wisdom, insight, and true liberation can flourish.
