Via GBF - New Talk: "Befriending the Present Moment" with Eve Decker

Sometimes it can be a relief to hear the recognition offered in the First Noble Truth: that suffering exists and everyone experiences it.
 
In addition to this fact, the Buddha taught that suffering can be ended.


All of his teachings on achieving this freedom from suffering fall under two wings: wisdom and compassion.

In this talk, infused with dharma songs, Eve Decker highlights a few of the numerous 'feathers' that make up each of these wings, including:

WISDOM

  • Mindfulness - the capacity to inhabit the present moment rather than identify with our thoughts. 

COMPASSION

  • Loving Kindness (or befriending)
  • Compassion
  • Appreciative Joy
  • Equanimity
