Dharma Talk

Selfless Service

In this talk to students of FCM, Fred teaches that true happiness is grounded in the practice of "selfless service," through the realization and actualization in our lives of serving others rather than our tendency to serve ourselves. Selfless service is more than volunteering, or "giving back," in that we realize that we inter-are with everything in this world. From that perspective we feel the pain of all others and want to remediate it because we realize that we are not separate from others or their suffering. Living from this view makes selfless service a joy rather than a chore.
