Dharma Talk Link: Acceptance by Ajahn Munindo

I was listening to the talk about 'Conscious Contentment' by Ajahn Munindo this morning and it touched on LOADS of stuff that AA's struggle with such as:

Perfectionism. Idealism.
Complaining. Disappointment.
Learning to be content with how things are instead of how we think they 'ought' to be.

I think what he might call 'contentment' AA's would call Acceptance.
It amounts to the same thing really. Just being comfortable with LIFE ON LIFE'S TERMS.
Anyway I particularly liked the UN NEUROTIC way he speaks about his failings and area where he needs to improve. He's a nice bloke.

Anyway, I've posted this Dharma Talk link on the right hand side under 'positive resources'.
I'm not crazy about ALL the monks, but this one I like. I've only spoken to him once. They are all pretty unusual in some way or other, but I just like this guy's approach. He's very ORDINARY or something. Who knows, but I just like him.

By the way. He is the Abbot at Harnham Monastery in case you are interested. Pretty easy to get to! (if you live in the London area)
