The ancient Buddhist scriptures contain a dialogue between the Buddha and a yaksha, a demonic being, in which the yaksha asks the Buddha four riddles that touch on our most urgent concerns: What is the best treasure for a person in this world? What is the practice that leads to happiness? What is the sweetest of tastes? How should one live the best kind of life? The Buddha's answers are clear, simple, practical, and immediately convincing. In this lecture, the highly distinguished Buddhist scholar Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi will explore the significance of these answers in relation to our aspirations for a life of peace, harmony, and fulfillment, both individually and communally. Presented on February 11, 2021.
