2025-05-10 Energy: The Lifeblood of the Buddhist Path 28:28
The talk explores virya (energy) as a multidimensional quality essential to Buddhist practice, discussing how it functions as the "rudder and motor" that propels practitioners forward while serving as an antidote to sloth and torpor. Dawn shares personal experiences of struggling with having "too much energy" and feeling like a "bad yogi," while illuminating how embracing this quality in all its manifestations—from mild interest to balanced effort—can transform one's practice and cultivate joy. The talk invites practitioners to connect with what they trust in and have confidence in as a way to spark the balanced energy that brings forth the joy of practicing.
