Commitment To Enlightenment

In this talk, Shaila Catherine explores the purpose of meditation practice. By knowing the goal of the Buddhist path, we can avoid becoming satisfied with deceptive attainments such as mere joy, calmness, and concentration. These pleasant states are not the aim of the liberating path. If we become attached to these temporary states and initial attainments, they become impediments on the path and can prevent the realization of the ultimate goal of awakening.

Wonderful guidance and inspiration to understand the source of our individual commitment to practice.

Oh what delight to listen to your soft voice at 3 am. Thank you

This reflection spoke to me in a deeply personal way. Many thanks.

Important reflections about the importance of reflections. The core. So much worth to be remembered.

Thank you ♡ At the beginning of this talk I had some resistance and nearly discarded the session. I chose to listen anyway and the message could not have been more timely, and the ending time for contemplation was perfect :) thank you again
