Economic crisis?

This is a copy of my latest  Thought for the dayon Radio Leicester
Whenever I turn on the news or read a newspaper I am reminded again and again of the current financial crisis facing us all.
But is it just a financial crisis? Everything has a cause, so what is the cause of this so called economic crisis? I wonder if we would be nearer the truth if we called it anemotional crisis.
It seems that for most of us our emotions in the form of desires are out of control.
We seem to be endlessly wanting - wanting more money - wanting latest designer clothes - wanting the latest gadgets - wanting more power - even wanting to be special.

Radio Leicester

Dear all, the demand for what I am doing has been increasing over recent months, particularly I think since the launch of the book.  I have been interviewed on Radio Leicester about Buddhism, silence and happiness recently as well as doing somethoughts for the day.

I have also been teaching mindfulness meditation in schools. In Huntingdon I have been working with teachers and have been approached about doing some work at Regents College in Leicester.

I have a six week Buddhism course starting in January and a mindfulness and compassion  meditation course starting next month too.
