Aspects of Generosity

Here Vessantara explores how the Dharma has been practiced by people following many different lifestyles – from homeless wanderers to kings and queens in their palaces. If there isn't one 'Dharma lifestyle' then what do all these different ways of living have in common, and how can they all be expressions of the Buddha's teaching? What are the principles underlying them all, and what does all this mean for us in our 21st century world? Excerpted from the talk Abundance, Simplicity and Sharing given at Cambridge Buddhist Centre, 2016 for Buddhist Action Month. ***
