Cultivate what brings joy, and is immediately accessible. These bring us to our 'Dhamma home'. Here is an unbinding, a subsiding of the complexities of the mind that allows the factors of the Path of Awakening to arise and guide us.
In this talk, we explore mindfulness of thoughts as part of the third foundation of mindfulness—learning to meet thoughts not as distractions or enemies, but as present-moment experiences to observe with curiosity and care. Through guided practice and teachings, we investigate the nature of thinking, including how to relate to repetitive or difficult thoughts with clarity and compassion. By developing this skill, we discover a deeper steadiness and freedom in the midst of the mind’s activity.
