A Good Deed in Need

Sujato Bhikkhu, the humble monk that has been posting teachings to this site has found himself without an internet connection indefinitely. I will continue to share some other teachings on this page, and I will keep everyone posted on his status regarding this community. For now, I have topped up his phone card to maintain some sort of communication through text, but I am seeking some assistance from those of you that would like to continue reading his teachings. I'm determined to provide him with a reliable wifi connection in a very rural part of Thailand. Small donations would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. click below to donate or take a moment to share with others: Thank you. Namaste.

Better Than No Rice

When you come to sit in concentration, then even if your mind isn’t yet quiet, simply sitting in the meditation posture is something good. It’s better than people who don’t even do that much. It’s like being hungry, but today there’s only rice, with nothing to go with it. We feel disgruntled, but I’d say that it’s better than having no rice at all. Eating plain rice is better than not eating anything, right? If all you have is plain rice, eat that for the time being. It’s better than not eating anything at all. The same with this: Even if we know only a little about how to practice, it’s still good.
