Exploring the use of the 5 Faculties / 5 Strengths in Our Practice

After another wild "John in Asia" story, talk outlines clear comprehension of mindfulness.

The talk opens with a story about Ajahn Pasanno and an introduction to the metaphor of the 5 Spiritual Faculties as a team of 5 Horses pulling "The Cart of Self". The rest of the talk explores the relationship between the 5 Faculties and the 4 Divine Abodes (metta, compassion, joy, equanimity)

Connected with the 5 Spiritual Faculties, the talk describes emptying out the cart of self!

Letting go of the stories we have about ourselves. A personal talk of a journey including Burning Man and purple hair.
