Fictitious Noodles: The Fake News of Old Fears, Ayya Medhanandi

What are we doing on this planet? How do we cope with feelings of fear? Can we observe wisely and penetrate through the fictions of the mind?  To abandon them, we must understand them. Ayyā Medhānandī coaches us to investigate emotions like fear and anger, viewing their characteristics as tiny fragments of physical sensation and learning how to refresh the mind in one instant. Then we touch the space of non-fear, serenity and joy within us.  A talk given at Toronto Theravada Buddhist Community in 2015.
