It seems with every day of news, there is more uncertainty, deep concern and unease. As much as we would like to, we can't control reality. However, the great gift of practice is that we can choose how to skillfully relate to our experience. This is a time for our practice to hold us. Instead of reacting impulsively in ways that just contract us more or with actions we later regret, we can respond effectively with a wise heart. This talk discusses teachings and practices that help us make that wiser choice.

Jeanne Corrigal
Download Listen
The image of a bird flying is offered as a way of bringing together the big picture of the Satipatthana Sutta teachings, with the three characteristics as the environment the bird is flying in. The three characteristics are then situated in the refrain of the Satipatthana Sutta, which is seen as a practice from nature, to reveal our inner nature. This teaching is applied to our lives through exploring how to work with self judgement. The talk ends exploring this practice in the world, for the benefit of all beings.
