A dharma talk exploring adhitthana (resolve) as a spiritual practice rooted in ancestral wisdom and lived experience. Devin shares personal stories and examples of how resolve manifests not as willpower or force, but as a quiet, steady commitment to returning again and again to what matters most - whether in meditation practice or in responding to the world's suffering with fierce compassion.
