After a brief overview of the Foundations, we explore both experientially and through teachings four ways of practicing with the aggregates:
1.) Recognizing when they are present
2.) Tracking their arising and passing away
3.) Noting when a thick sense of self is present and opening to experience without such a sense of self
4.) Noting when suffering or dukkha appears and responding skillfully
We review the Four Foundations with continued emphasis on the Fourth, including attention to a number of practical situations. Pt 1 of 2.
*There are a few minutes missed between pt 1 and 2. Part 2 is the wrap up of the talk.
After a review of the first three foundations, we look at the general nature of the Fourth Foundation of the specific frameworks used and some ways to practice.
