A Map of Our Practice: From Ordinary Mind to Awakening in Our Time, Part 1
2026-08-12 A Map of Our Practice: From Ordinary Mind to Awakening in Our Time, Part 1 46:03
Donald Rothberg
In the first part of a two-part talk, we first identify the value of having a comprehensive map of our practice, and how a contemporary map builds on traditional maps but includes dimensions of practice not identified traditionally. We then explore the three traditional areas of training--in wisdom, meditation (including the development of concentration, mindfulness and insight, and the heart practices), and ethical practice--while briefly mentioning (more next time) two further contemporary areas of practice: Psychological learning of different kinds and social engagement that extends ethical practice. The talk is followed by discussion.
