The Buddha taught that faith--trust in our true nature--is intrinsic to the spiritual path and the expression of wisdom. These two talks investigate the practices of presence that awaken our faith and the freedom that arises when our faith becomes radiant and full.
Bodhicitta: Awakening human potential
Blurb The energy of bodhicitta, the awakened heart/mind, is a beautiful counterbalance to the energies of the three poisons; greed, ill will and delusion. This talk begins with a short analysis of the institutionalization of the three poisons in our culture and then explores the inherent power of bodhicitta to help ameliorate suffering on all levels.
By bringing a surrendering presence to mental, emotional and physical domains, we undo the trance of separation and discover our true nature. This talk explores the practices that cultivate the non-resisting space of presence, and the flavors of our essential being that are revealed: open awareness, love and a vibrant flow of awareness.
