Welcome back to Buddha Bites, bringing you delicious morsels of BuddhaMindfulness Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Regarding my translation of MN61, Advice to Rāhula at Ambalattikā Sutta, the original text only refers to considering the welfare of self and other. I believe, however, that Siddhattha Gotama was concerned for human flourishing. And if he were alive today, he would recognize the need to consider the global impacts of our actions. Thank you for taking the time to consider this translation.
