  • From the Buddhist Tradition:
    " The Dimension of Hunger from the Buddhist 10 Worlds / 10 Dimensions
    The Dimension of Hunger might also be called the Dimension of Materialism.
    When a being is dominated by cravings or excessive desires, physical or mental such as being trapped within the world of materialism, this is a direct path to suffering. We can see this in many parts of the world. Countries where people are destroying the environment or hurting their friends and families, all to make a buck!
    
    Turning Poison into Medicine
    We can turn this poison into medicine with the application of Wisdom living, this force can be harnessed to improve any situation through the application of generosity. You may feel the need for something new when you already have that thing and it is working great. But perhaps you can learn to give away what you have as you upgrade and you can begin to live the law of circulation. By understanding the channels of desire, we can learn to direct the flow to ensure the improvement of conditions for all. But learning wisdom ways we can learn to refrain from getting things we don't need. By giving away what we do not use to those for whom these gifts bring joy, we create the eternal christmas celebration which Dickens said we should all live every day of our life. The greatest life lived is the life that brings the most joy and lasting love to the planet. These are the lives which enrich every soul they encounter."
