We are grateful to have begun Session 1 of 6 in our Dhammapada online series with Bhante Pemaratana from Pittsburgh Buddhist Center, where he beautifully explained Verse 33 (Cittavagga โ The Mind): โThe mind is fickle, unsteady, difficult to guard, difficult to control โ yet the wise person straightens it as a fletcher straightens an arrow.โ
It was a wonderful start, and we rejoice in the opportunity to learn the timeless wisdom of the Buddha together.
