Can I be a Buddhist and still have fun?
Can you have fun and be a Buddhist? Absolutely! The discussion reveals how spiritual practices often get misinterpreted as joyless. Historical critiques of physical pleasure and the Buddha's rejection of extreme asceticism pave the way for a balanced approach. Instead of denial or indulgence, the middle way allows for healthy enjoyment. Meditation can lead to wholesome pleasure through relaxed curiosity, alongside dhyana factors that encourage blissful experiences without attachment. Embracing joy enriches the journey of Dharma.

Communication is a crucial area of life.This week Tarapalita takes us on personal journey though the difficult and liberating teachings of the speech precepts.
