Ceramah ini membahas tentang bagaimana menjadi orang baik, dengan menekankan bahwa kebaikan sejati tidak dapat dipisahkan dari perhatian penuh (mindfulness). Pembicara, Yuttadhammo Bhikkhu, menjelaskan bahwa tanpa mindfulness, praktik seperti berdana atau meditasi cinta kasih tidak cukup bermakna. Ia menawarkan kursus meditasi di rumah secara gratis sebagai cara untuk melatih mindfulness, dan mengundang pendengar untuk datang ke pusat meditasi di Sri Lanka, yang digambarkan memiliki lingkungan nyaman dengan akomodasi gratis. Alur pemikiran dimulai dari definisi kebaikan yang terkait dengan mindfulness, kemudian memberikan sarana praktis untuk mengembangkannya, dan diakhiri dengan ajakan untuk berlatih langsung di pusat meditasi. Pesan utamanya adalah bahwa menjadi orang baik memerlukan latihan mindfulness yang konsisten, dan fasilitas untuk berlatih tersedia secara gratis.
Could you please teach me how I can be a good person?
It's said that there's no speaking about goodness
without speaking about mindfulness.
Meaning, basically, you haven't really talked about goodness
if you haven't talked about mindfulness.
Not meaning that there are other kinds of goodness,
but it's just any discussion of goodness
would be incomplete without mindfulness.
Mindfulness is, in a way,
the essence of the core practice of goodness.
So if you want to be a good person,
there's really no other way.
There's no other meaningful way,
no other significant way to be good.
Not charity, not morality,
not even metta meditation, kindness meditation,
compassion meditation.
None of those are significant.
Mindfulness, that is significant.
If you want to be a good person,
mindfulness is the best sort of goodness.
Oh, I don't know if you read our booklet on how to meditate.
It's our take on practice that cultivates
or trains one in mindfulness.
We have an at-home meditation course that we offer for free.
It's not about selling courses or something.
You're welcome to take the at-home meditation course.
We have a meditation center with rooms.
Interesting.
Coming to practice meditation in person.
We have a wonderful place here,
quite a remarkable place where we are now,
where it's the same temperature almost all year round.
It gets a little bit hotter and a little bit cooler,
but it's a very comfortable climate.
There's very few mosquitoes,
which is a big deal because I've been places
where there are many, many, many mosquitoes.
It's a big deal for Buddhists and Buddhist meditators.
We're Buddhists because we don't kill the mosquitoes,
but Buddhist meditators because not only do you not kill them,
but you have to sit with them.
If you sit in meditation and a mosquito lands on you,
let's just say if there's lots of mosquitoes,
it makes meditation difficult, especially walking meditation.
We have good food, free lodging, free food, free instruction.
And we live on the top of a mountain where there's a view of the other mountain.
And the air is pure.
The water is pure.
The people are pure.
This is a great place.
Don't be scared of coming to Sri Lanka or coming here.
This is one of the best places I've ever lived.
Maybe the best place I've ever lived,
if you think of it quite possibly.
