Engaged spirituality means responding to our world’s suffering with wisdom and deep care. This talk looks at three blocks to aligning our actions with our heart – “bad othering,” dissociation and overwhelm. We explore how we can awaken from each reaction to suffering by drawing on our practices of presence and remembering our larger belonging.
This week we explore what the three Insights of Insight Meditation are, and how they support the liberating parami of truthfulness, in aligning our hearts with seeing clearly the big picture of how things are.
As we witness and are deeply impacted by the eruption of a war of aggression in the Ukraine, we will reflect tonight on how these three paramis -- compassion, courageous energy and equanimity -- are visible both on the world stage and in our own lives and hearts.
The four Truths / Tasks, and the three levels of wisdom.
