Working skillfully with the thinking mind. Understanding how perceptual distortion and mental proliferation obscures the truth and takes us away from the present.
Insight as a shift of perception--How our perceptions give rise to thoughts, associations, interpretations--the whole realm of papanca and suffering. Not to be caught in papanca is to be at peace.
Based on the Honey Ball Sutta, this talk is an exploration of papanca,
a Pali word meaning proliferation of thought in the mind. Mental
proliferation leads into the creation of self and into craving and
comparing, as well as holding on to views and opinions.
