Exploring what covers over our innate goodness, including near and far enemies of loving kindness (metta), attached love and hate, and how to uncover the beautiful qualities of our hearts.
The Buddha taught that this entire world arises out of the tip of intention. Intentions can arise from an egoic wants and fears, and they can arise from the wisdom of our heart that is calling us home. This talk explores the qualities that signify a liberating intention and how, by bringing presence to our current intention, we uncover the purity and power of our hearts true aspiration.
We focus on becoming response-able (rather than reactive) as the heart of our practice, examining what responsiveness means and how we cultivate it in relationship to thought and emotions.
As we learn to trust the middle way, we find that everyone is right here with us. As notions of self and other drop away, we arrive home, belonging to the totality of all that is.
In this talk Dhammaruwan tells stories that illustrate misperceptions and how clear seeing with the Dhamma returns us to the true intentions of the heart
