Mind Like A Satellite – Respect, Extraordinary Mindfulness, and Wisdom, Ayya Medhanandi

A mind weeded of impurities is a field of stillness and wisdom where our suffering melts away. How does this happen? We study the mind and apply four facets of an extraordinary proactive mindfulness: exerted effort, penetrating focus on the object of awareness, heroic diligence, and contemplative devotion. In the silence of the undistracted mind, wisdom and a true and sustainable happiness arise. An online talk given for the Ottawa Buddhist Society, Oct. 17, 2020.
