2022-02-05 A Wise and Kind Way of Seeing All Things as Unsatisfactory 1:26:10
Nathan Glyde
Download Listen
All changing and unreliable phenomena are neither satisfactory nor dissatisfactory. They neither contain the ingredients for contentment nor for distress. It is in the way of relating to them that the tangle of dukkha (distress) arises, or the openness of freedom, well-being, and happiness come to be. How much freedom might come from reminding ourselves that all things are both non-dissatisfactory and unsatisfactory? Guided meditation and Dharma Reflection, followed by a Q&A.
