Wesak greetings to all our readers

On this Wesak Day, Aliran wishes all our readers the inner peace, contentment and spiritual fulfilment that comes with detachment from material wealth.

Let us reflect on the Buddha’s awareness of the suffering around us – much of it caused by attachment to material wealth and the desire for impermanent things.

In today’s world, where Greed is prevalent and where the gap between the wealthy and the poor is so wide, the struggle for socioeconomic and ecological justice is more important than ever.

So, on this auspicious day, let us dedicate ourselves to overcoming suffering and injustice through ethical conduct, mindfulness and the cultivation of wisdom and compassion. True wealth lies not in possessions but in the solidarity, interconnectedness and compassion we share with one another.
