Agree, it is a very lovely talk.
Finally have listened to it.
He touches on some pertinent points of dealing with our human nature as others have identified - the benefits from simplicity, freedom from the bindings of religion and imposition of beliefs on us as individuals, the importance of the contents of the message rather than the container, kindness and love for people before the things, structures and teachings of the religion and valuing meditation before the cleaning !
Generosity, acceptance, gratitude, respecting and considering others ideas and views, meeting each others needs. Rather than forcing your own ideas seeing compromise and the choice to just let it go - giving it time and considering carefully rather than pushing for a way forward or resolution now. It works ... if we work it.
