Walking the Talk:
The Advice of Ancient Buddhist Texts

How can we put in practice virtues like compassion and mindfulness in our daily life? The ancient Buddhist texts of the Pāli canon give us some suggestions. In the Culagosinga Sutta of the Pāli Canon, the Buddha asks three monks who live in a hermitage in the forest how they are getting along. The three monks reply that they get along very well, in fact they say they “blend like milk and water”. “How so?” the Buddha asks, and the monks explain how they get along so well. Drawing from Buddhist texts and practices, we can discover practical and effective ways to live with each other more harmoniously so that we too can blend like milk and water.
