"How Lucky Are We?" is a Dharma talk and brief guided meditation that asks what a little illustrated skeleton have to teach us about life, death, gratitude, and happiness?
Inspired by Christian Watson's beautifully illustrated book How Lucky Am I?, this talk explores the universal wisdom found in the Buddha's teachings and in the ordinary experiences of being human.
From making peace with impermanence to letting go of expectations, cultivating compassion, and appreciating the life we actually have, we discover that these truths don't belong to any one religion or tradition. The Buddha didn't invent them. He recognized them and showed us how to put them into practice.
It could be that the most important question we can ask ourselves is simply… How lucky are we?
