Maintaining Joy in our Spiritual Practice

In the last episode of The Life of Universal Loving, Tenzin explained how to cultivate the perfection of joyful effort, the three forms of laziness that the perfection of joyful effort overcomes and the three different general ways of acting with joyful effort. In this episode, Tenzin will explain how to maintain joyful effort. This is done by exercising the four powers of effort: the power of aspiration, the power of steadfast effort, the power of relaxation and the power of joy. The powers are simply names for different aspects of practice that help maintain and deepen joyful effort.

In the second half of the program, the Buddhist rapper, A Cultivator, will appear as a guest. Tenzin and A Culitivator will discuss and showcase several selections of A Culitivator's rap music.
