Wisdom in Action: Mindfulness and Sampajanna on the Path to Liberation

This dharma talk explores how mindfulness (sati) functions as a "charioteer" guiding spiritual faculties, with special focus on sampajanna (clear knowing) and its four aspects: intention, suitability, domain, and non-delusion. Through stories and examples, devon illustrates how developing these qualities leads to wisdom that responds appropriately in each moment, supporting liberation from suffering.

Gratitude Practice: "It Would Have Been Enough"

This talk takes a dive into Gratitude as a way to hold suffering. The Jewish holiday of Passover began on Saturday. Passover is a holiday of liberation. One of the most joyous parts of the holiday is singing the song Dayenu, which translates as "It would have been enough." The song's lyrics list one blessing after another, 15 in all. After each verse the refrain is "if that was all, it would have been enough. But then there was this (next blessing)."
When we look at our lives through this lens it gives us inspiration to see and appreciate all the good in our lives as we process all that is challenging.

Mental consciousness experiences in terms of points and lines, holistic awareness is the mode the body uses for its maintenance, health and balance. This is what we cultivate in meditation, so that the heart attunes to it and is also well-maintained, healthy and liberated from stress. Right livelihood is a matter of sustaining this kind of awareness in terms of duties, collaboration and the welfare of others. These clear mental hindrances and restrictions and bring joy into our daily lives.
