This talk is grounded in Ajahn Buddhadasa’s teaching of temporary Nibbana. It explores the Satipatthana Sutta as a doorway into freedom and offers the acronym CARE as a way of bringing the Four Noble Truths into whichever practice we are engaged in.
The Journey of Awakening is a process of discovering all the beautiful qualities that are uniquely expressed through you--the Buddha within that you take refuge in. It also involves understanding all the habits of mind that get in the way--including our fears, resistance, and identification with our experience. This talk describes the importance of opening to all of these places we usually hide from and the beneficial qualities that support that journey.
