Freeing the Heart - The Practice of Vipassanā Meditation
The Buddhist path is a soteriological, or liberation seeking tradition of ancient India, designed and intended to liberate us, through our own efforts, from the burden of suffering.
And vipassanā, or insight meditation is the direct-way towards that goal, the cessation of suffering, as laid down by Gotama Buddha over 2600 years ago. The Buddha expounded that we suffer because we don’t see clearly the true nature of our embodied existence. In his own words, “we have dust in our eyes.” And accordingly, this conditioned inability to see clearly is what keeps humankind entrenched in the seemingly unrelenting cycle of unsatisfactoriness and concomitant suffering.
In our time together we will discuss, according to the perspective of both the Buddha’s and the speaker’s own experiential insights, why we suffer, what vipassanā meditation actually is, and how with patient endurance each of us can tap into our innate ability to see clearly the true nature of ultimate reality, freeing our hearts from the shackles of suffering.
