It's normal to feel overwhelmed by the chaos of modern life, and it's hard to have a steady mind when we're distracted, stressed, rattled, or ruminating about the things we feel threatened about or resentful of.
In this talk, Dr. Rick Hanson explores 3 practical ways to bring calm, clarity, and presence into your daily routine - even amidst the distractions and pressures of the world.
In this talk, Rick covered:
➼ The Buddha’s Teaching on stability of mind
➼ The Three Pillars of Buddhist Practice:
‣ Sila (Virtue/Restraint): Emphasizes moral conduct, non-harming, and promoting the good for oneself and others.
‣ Samadhi (Concentration/Mental Training): Focuses on deep concentration, stillness of awareness, and meditation.
‣ Panna (Wisdom): Recognizes impermanence, the interconnectedness of all things, and the importance of aligning with the nature of reality to reduce suffering.
➼ The importance of cultivating steadiness of mind and presence, leading to a more peaceful and centered life.
➼ The use of stability of presence to quiet the mind, reduce stress and distractions, and avoid being overwhelmed by past reactions or cultural distractions.
