Coffee Wisdom - Dhamma by Ajahn Jayasāro


Coffee wisdom

If you like sweet milky coffee and the cup of coffee in front of you is too bitter, what do you do? Do you pray for heavenly assistance to make it more sweet? Do you blame old kamma and try to accept your bitter coffee fate? Do you throw the coffee away? None of these, I hope. My suggestion would be to add some more sugar. And if it's too sweet, add more coffee or more water.

If you know how each ingredient of a cup of coffee affects its taste, you have the information you need to make it more tasty. If you analyse a situation in your life until you clearly see the causes and conditions underlying it, you have the information you need to see where and to what extent you can make wise changes
