Mindfulness and Dhamma Keep the Heart Safe In the Age of Social Media | 22 May 2026

“In this age where social media moves rapidly, if we lack mindfulness, we become slaves to craving and comparison, leading to suffering. Therefore, 'knowing moderation', we must learn to use technology mindfully—for example, using it to listen to the Dhamma. We should also reflect on impermanence: both online popularity and social recognition are constantly changing. Even this body is in truth merely a ‘nest of diseases’, waiting for the day it deteriorates and passes away. Human life is very short, so we should not live heedlessly. We should diligently practise generosity, observe moral precepts, and cultivate meditation, in order to steady the mind above emotional reactions and avoid being swept along by the restless currents of the world.” ____ 🌏 Now Available in Multiple Languages [French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish] You can now listen to this Dhamma talk in other languages using YouTube’s Audio Track feature.
