Ajahn Anan Podcast

In this videoconference talk from 25 Jun, 2021, Ajahn Anan discusses about using our discernment with regards to current events. "Do you really see it? If the economy is good, the pigs die, the chickens die, the ducks die, the cows all die. They are all food for humans. The more well they sell, the more animals die. And even all the animals aren’t crying, they aren’t complaining. But we also come to eat them and do other harmful things to them. We may have some loss, but at least we still have the breath. So we still have a lot of things, which is just this breath. We are born with this breath, so we are people who have something valuable. If we have no more breath anymore, then all the things we have now, will they still have meaning or not? So now, what do we possess? We still have the breath, we have time. So we should find the time to chant a lot. Exchange it for merit instead. Is this a good idea?"
