At the time of Earth Day, we pose a a dilemma and challenge. Dharma practice is so compelling. The climate crisis is so compelling. Which do we choose? Both, in our own ways. We look at the ways that our practice (and principles of generosity, compassion, ethics, interdependence, and wisdom) call us to regard and that those responding deeply need spiritual practices and principles to meet the great need.
Learning to recognise,accept, investigate and dis-identify from afflictive emotions cultivates wisdom and compassion and increases our capacity for joy.
This talk covers the four noble truths and how by learning to open to our experience we learn how to develop mindfulness, compassion, space and freedom.
This talk explores the benefits of mindfulness, the scientific research behind it, and the obstacles that get in the way as we practice. The talk also covers how mindfulness can be used to cultivate more self-compassion. Good for beginners.
