Intuitive wisdom develops gradually as we learn more and more to drop the story and view the flood of impermanence in the silence of the mind. Eventually we will be able to answer the question: what remains after the work of purification? A talk given during a Satipaññā Insight Meditation Toronto retreat in 2016.

This daylong includes general talks on the theme of cultivating equanimity into your dharma practice. In addition to the talks and discussion, I offer the following practices with instructions that can be used to incline the mind toward equanimity (edited to remove lengthy periods of silence during the guided meditations):
Practice #1 - Seeing things as they are
Practice #2 - Looking through the lens of impermanence
Practice #3 - Looking through the lens of vedana
(feeling tone; 2nd foundation of mindfulness)
Practice #4 - Equanimity with Big Mind meditation
Practice #5 - Equanimty using traditional Brahma Viharas phrases

Three kinds of Dukkha
21:44

Gregory Kramer

Dyad with separate speakers for the first two contemplations
1. straight-forward suffering. The pain can be proliferated and held up and at this micro-level flips into Dukka-dukka
2.the dukka of impermanence, that comes with the instability of things and our responses
" Give attention to the quality of receiving."
" What is it like to be speaking of this pain of impermanence....; to be hearing it?"
3.the suffering associated waith constructions and the constructing mind
"Those images that come and haunt the mind."
"That ongoing tumult of the body-mind responding to its own fabrications."
"Can we get off the bus?"

The Liberating Embrace of Annicca-Impermance

The deep knowing & living with impermanence is a gateway to freeing the mind – freeing the heart. The only thing that we can really know for sure is the constancy of change. It's the most basic fact of our existence. Nothing lasts…nothing stays the same. So paradoxically the only thing that we can hold onto is the intuitive insight of impermanence, which arises out of direct experience within our practice and eventually brings a great relief and lightness into our life. We no longer
need to haul around such a heavy load.
