Well Being with Don Oakley

The Four Pairs of Mundane Concern

The Buddha spoke about the Four Pairs of Mundane Concern: Pleasure & Pain, Gain & Loss, Praise & Blame, Fame & Disrepute. We might ask ourselves how much of our life have we spent embroiled in such concerns. It’s not that they are bad or wrong in themselves; it is that they rob us of the energy we need to find our way home while empowering that from which we seek freedom. We are bled dry by a thousand small cuts.
