The focus for Days 91-100 of the 100 Days of Care is the ‘far-reaching’ attitude of Wisdom (Panna Parami). We develop discriminating awareness first through learning (i.e. hearing or reading ideas), then through practice (applying the instructions both in meditation and in daily life) and finally through seeing/knowing/understanding directly.
“The practice of the path is doing two things. One is, it’s refining our discriminating awareness, so that we become better at investigating our ongoing or unfolding experience. And the other is, we’re seeing the truth of what leads to happiness and what leads to suffering.”
In a nutshell, mindfulness (sati) and concentration (samadhi) create the calmness (samatha) necessary for insight (vipassana).
These instructions for practice were given at Stream Yoga + Meditation on December 18, 2024.
