Event Series Event Series: Dharma Roadside Dialogue

Dharma Roadside Dialogue.Specific Preliminaries, Dharma and social life (part 2)

May 25 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm

Specific Preliminaries

What about the Preliminary Exercises?
Is the preliminary practice stage essential?
What to do with resistance to undertaking this section of the path?
Where is the training in calm abiding (Samatha) in these exercises?

Dharma and social life

How to deal with mental distractions? For example going to the cinema or theater, reading a novel, social media, or watching TV. Does distraction come from the fact that the mind cannot find itself within itself, and is disturbed by perceptions, by forms, by sensations?

How can we stay on course when we are too lucid about what is happening in our society?

Every last Saturday of the month at 1:30 pm East coast time (EST),  7:30 pm European time (CET).

The intent of these sessions is be to facilitate a lively exchange on how to  apply in daily situations our understanding of the key points of the Buddha-Dharma.
