Today's Daily Dharma: Low-income Buddhism

Low-income Buddhism
Those of us in the lower class have no real disposable income, no truly 'free' time, and we have to keep up a break-neck speed just to break even. We get up early to sit before heading to a job that we can tolerate only because we sit. We meditate before bed to alleviate some of the daily stress that would otherwise keep us up all night. Economically and spiritually, it's always a battle just to stay put.
 
- Brent R. Oliver, "White Trash Buddhist"
