The talk explores the aspects of practice of collecting the mind, intuitive insight, non-separation of a single taste, and ordinariness, through sharing stories, poetry and teachings.
We look at the nature of distraction- not attending to what is our intended focus- in three main ways, each of which we can respond to: 1) our distraction moment to moment and how we train in mindfulness, 2) our distraction in our everyday lives, and 3) how our lives become distracted in relation to our deeper intentions.
We need places of refuge in our lives and we need an inner place of stillness.
Curiosity, confidence and contentment as we develop mindfulness can be useful in developing inner refuge.
