Annie Nugent has practiced since 1979 and was an IMS Resident Teacher, 1999-2003. Her teaching style aims to reveal how all aspects of our lives can help us come to a clear and direct understanding of the Truth.
Impermanence is happening all the time...in every moment – and to everything... we don't recognize this truth because our awareness is weak and our delusion is strong.
As we turn our attention to this truth in all it's nuances, the natural outcome is letting go.
Resolve played a major role in the Buddha's enlightenment. Consequently we can see the importance of this quality in our own practice. This talk details it's meaning and how to develop and incorporate it into our practice - propelling us ever onward towards liberation
When we hear the word ”effort” on coming to practice, our worldly conditioning can kick in – and we interpret and associate it with striving, achieving, driving ourselves with ambition to attain, because this is the way one makes effort in the world…but the practice is not about getting anything…it is about letting go.
Mindfulness: This talk looks at the lighter, playful side of mindfulness and the importance of the quality of clear knowing or comprehending that is always associated with mindfulness.
