Public Talk 4

Summary

Most of us are pursuing outward and inward pleasure.

Pleasure is the structure of society.

Why do we act, however noble or ignoble, with an undercurrent of pleasure?

Thought has a great deal to do with pleasure.

Pleasure involves pain; the two are not separate but are two sides of the same coin.

A mind that has understood the nature of pleasure and fear is no longer violent and can live at peace within itself and with the world.
