Ajahn Brahm dedicates this talk to those of us living alone or without a relationship, however he says this talk is also relevant to people in relationships.
Ajahn elaborates on the Buddhist principle or the basic law of karma that what you are experiencing right now is the result of your karma from the past and you can’t do anything with it. The most important thing is not what you have to deal with in life, but how you deal with it. In other words what are you making out of what you have.
Ajahn advises us to love and appreciate ourselves and others and stop trying to change and improve ourselves and others.
