    Seclusion in a Confusing World

    In this Dhamma talk at the International Buddhist Meditation Center Los Angeles on November 17, 2024, Subodha shares his thoughts on a world that often seems to make little sense and the pain and stress that comes with living in it. He shares the story of Christopher Thomas Knight, who, seeking seclusion, lived in the woods of North Pond, Maine for 27 years without human contact. Living in the woods, on the periphery, he survived through burglary, as he regularly broke into the cabins nearby, taking what he needed to survive. This story is contrasted with the skillful seclusion of the Buddhist path, which steals from no one.
