The Light of Wisdom: Waking from the Intoxication of Attachment - Dhamma Talk by Luang Por Kalyano

Dhamma Talk by Luang Por Kalyano Abbot of Buddha Bodhivana Monastery, Melbourne, Australia On 1 Apr 2023, Luang Por Kalyano explores the necessity of balancing long-term vision with present-moment awareness. While he praises the commitment to future generations shown by securing land leases for spiritual centres, he warns against the modern obsession with instant results and temporary gratification. He uses the metaphor of "sobering up" to describe the process of overcoming intoxication with worldly attachments, which leads to inevitable suffering. By acknowledging impermanence as a fundamental truth, practitioners can cultivate a mindful perspective that remains steady despite the unpredictable "worldly winds" of success and failure. Ultimately, the source emphasises that wisdom and peace are found not in extraordinary visions, but in the ordinary practice of correct thinking and accepting things exactly as they are. --------------------------------------------- May the Triple Gem protect you and your family always.
