This talk is about the similarities and subtle differences of the 3 kinds of intention: Cetana (...intention, purpose, objective, agenda, goal, target, etc.),
Sankappa (right thought and intent, avoiding unwholesome mind states, cultivating wholesome, etc.) and Aditthana (decision, resolution, self-determination, will and resolution, etc.)
All three types are important resources as we train our heart/minds through intensive practice and in our day to day lives.

With so many strategies and messages about how to practice, how do we know the "right" way to practice?
The Buddha said ultimately you should "be a lamp onto yourself." This comes down to trusting the wisdom inside.
How can we discern the wisdom voice from the voices rooted in fear and confusion?

Based on the earlier meditation, we examine the importance of reflection on and mindfulness of, impermanence, both gross impermanence and moment-to-moment impermanence; why it's difficult to be deeply aware of impermanence; practices to explore impermanence; and deeper understandings opened up by practices with impermanence.
