From a simple moment of contact, the mind can create a lot of mental proliferation (papañca), leading to stress and conflict. This talk shows how to interrupt that process through clear, present-moment awareness, drawing on the Honey Ball sutta (MN18), and the Buddha's teachings to the wanderer Bahiya (Ud 1.10).
Flowing through the movements of the retreat so far and continuing through the offering of last night’s dharma talk, we open awareness to be with reality; to know reality.
