Listen "Buddhism and Politics | 2020"
Episode Synopsis
According to the Suttas, a corrupt leader can corrupt the whole society. Ajahn Brahmali discusses the importance of voting for moral leaders and for having compassion towards politicians. Ajahn reminds us that our world is never going to be perfect, so we shouldn’t become upset over political issues. Instead we should focus our attention on being generous and kind.Politics affects everyone, but for Buddhists, the real path is internal. Use political concerns to deepen your practice, not derail it. What matters most is how you respond, not just what you believe.Recorded 2020-01-03-This talk by Ajahn Brahmali was recorded and made available for free distribution by the Buddhist Society of Western Australia (BWSA) under the Creative Commons license.
