Brahmaviharas, equanimity, kamma and joy.

Second Q & A, with questions about demons and devas, practice, assisted suicide, and feeling like a dog that finally got up on the couch.

Drawing in the Buddhist teaching of dependent co-arising, this talk explores what it means to belong to a living world

In this talk, you are invited into a relaxed, fireside chat exploring awareness as the mind-heart’s capacity to know without grasping, fixing, or becoming entangled in what is known. Through reflections on aspects of the Naturally Arising Practice Method (dharmaground.org/teachings) including: inward-staying (from Upasika Kee Nanayon's pointer), knowing experience from within experience, and letting go of the mind’s habitual leaning toward objects, the talk points toward the fruits of stillness, coming home, wellbeing, equanimity, and joy. This exploration of awareness supports a more spacious and wise relatedness to daily life, where even difficulty can be met with greater presence, choice, and a quiet freedom.
