Virtue & the Art of Living

Today is part 5 of the video series with Dr Sri. Today he will introduce us to the Virtue of Temperance.  

As you listen, pay attention to what rises up inside of you – do you feel resistance when he speaks of tempering our attraction to pleasures? What did you feel when he said temperance is saying more little no’s so you can say bigger yes’s? Did you feel resistance when he spoke about gluttony? What did you notice when he spoke of sinful versus virtuous anger?  

  • When have you lived the virtue of temperance well?

  • Where do you see your weakness in this area of your life?
