Set in the larger contexts of the importance of ethical practice, we focus on the meaning and practical of non-harming, with some reflections on responding to the killings of nine African Americans at a bible study class in Charleston, South Carolina.
Mindfulness has so many dimensions and can be hard to define, yet it is a central pillar of the Dhamma path. This talk explores some of it's dimensions and qualities.
