After a review of what we've covered in past talks, we explore the four stages of transforming the judgmental mind, focusing more on the 2nd through 4th stages.
How do the three characteristics of existence - impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and not self, apply to the teaching experience and how we hold that as a practice.
Imagine feeling at home wherever you are. Imagine feeling that your life is so complete - right here, right now - that you do not wish to be anywhere else. This daylong talk will provide the tools to experience this meditative presence wherever you are.
This talk weaves together the theme of courage--in our practice and our lives--with stories about Ven. Sayadaw U Pandita who passed away in April, 2016. Diana shares personally about her complex and powerful experience as his student.
