This talk is about sīlabbataparāmāsa—a subtle clinging to rites, rituals, precepts, and practices. We train in order to see and overcome this heady attachment to our practices (dāna, sīla, bhāvanā, mettā bhāvanā).
Further reflections on being an animal body and mind. Reflections on precepts, compassion and the fellowship of suffering. You are not alone, no matter what your trouble.
