SNI53
During our practice phase of development, we learn to adapt and change. During the abiding phase, we are out of the paradigm of adaption into surrender.
It's a heavy load to carry our 'self' around…the myriad permutations of our thoughts (all the hopes and fears),
the feelings, opinions, perceptions and beliefs…believing that they are 'mine, 'me, 'myself. When we begin to
taste the truth of 'not-self' , often there is a feeling of great relief. Therein lies the potential for peace of
mind. This Dhamma talk includes two short guided meditations.
