HOW TO ENJOY YOUR LIFE: ADVICE FROM A MONK

Ajahn Brahm is a monk and spiritual director of the Buddhist Society of Western Australia.  He observes that people are unable to enjoy the fruit of their labor.  “Most people in Australia have a garden with their house, but few know how to find peace in their garden.  For the rest, the garden is just another place for work.  So I encourage those with a garden to nurture it’s beauty by working a while and nurture their hearts by just sitting peacefully in the garden, enjoying nature’s gifts.”
