Martin explores various features of our conditioning, pointing throughout the talk to the natural ease of a free heart as we move beyond self-measurement.
The Buddha advised us to not only cultivate wholesome states but to maintain and increase them when they arise. How can we do that without attachment? This talk explains how to cultivate and strengthen wholesome states not only in retreat but in daily life. James explains the Buddhist principles and practices he shares in his Awakening Joy course.
This talk examines and contrasts various worldly and spiritual ideas of freedom, while Martin points beyond our inherited, internalised and self-imposed contraints, to the authentic free-ness at the heart of the dharma.
