Thank you for this practice.

Found this as I was checking in with myself and wondering what it is I am running from or avoiding. Great short and will look for a longer one. 🙏

So helpful and practical. As always thank you for the insights! One comment: I am deeply connected to my own mother who certainly was a good example of someone with a natural, instinctive flow of compassion toward her children. But I also know many people who did not have this experience with their mothers. So I think that the reference to a mother as a prime example of compassion can create story in the mind which in a way is a distraction. I wonder if it could be helpful to refer to a parent in general and the deep well they so often can feel for a child? Men have been conditioned to exile so many parts of themselves, specifically the vulnerable and compassionate parts, so I share this as an aspiration to create more space for compassion and kindness in all of us.

Hello Scott and thank you for your compassion and wisdom! I have been really "leaning "on your instruction for a while now. It really helps one to grow in their own practice. Your instruction has helped me so much. In turn has helped my family and so on. I enjoyed your podcast with Andrew Holechek as well. Again your wisdom and compassion reaches farther than you can imagine. 😊

Thank u Namsel-la 🙏💔🙏

Very helpful not only from a personal aspect of trauma but for what is occurring on our planet. The overwhelm can quickly drag us/me down. I would definitely be interested in more of this as events become more and more difficult and painful. 🙏

I appreciate the connection between compassion and wisdom that you share as insight/knowledge (eyes) and action (legs). It makes me wonder about how both of those attributes also work together in protecting ourselves and others from being deceived in situations when we are being asked to give of ourselves, our time, our resources. Thank you for these ideas.

Did Andrew answer the question of what is right view?? I don't think so - he went around and around in circles and I did not "get" what right view is from Andrew? Or did I miss it? 🌺 per the Buddha, I suspect, he had the first of the 8 Noble Paths be right view... so that means to me, to understand that this reality is man made and is not real. So to me, the right view would be to realize and experience direct that there is a different, real and awake experience resulting in a shift in view of reality that is much more fulfilling and less threatening and more satisfying to work with and more enjoyable than this present view of life that we all have. this man-made existence that we are attached to. 🌺

Many, many thanks!

Scott, thanks kindly for this teaching!!

Thank you

Very helpful. Thank you both so much.

How do I join a monastery I live in the states?

Very nice!💗

I am wondering about the long term with diagnoses of cPTSD and ASD1. I have worked with the moderate path for sometime and find the deeper path very difficult. Can you recommend a teacher who perhaps has been through deep trauma or something else that might be helpful? Thank you

Thanks for touching on this subtlety here...

Great information

Thanks Scott. Having lead a very goal oriented life I’ve struggled with this constantly in my meditation practice. Your suggestion of intention/aspiration and returning to that as needed sounds very helpful.

Great topic!!

🙏

Thanks for the meditation. Found you in Apple Podcasts

Thank you, Scott 🙏

So much insight and generosity here. As always, I found it very helpful to listen to your talk. Sending you gratitude!

Very nice!

Really appreciate this topic! I don't think I've ever heard anyone speak about "home" quite in this way, which is refreshing. It's something I've contemplated a lot and I'm inspired to think about 'taking refuge' in a whole new way. Thanks! 🙏

Thanks, Scott. This resonates and is a topic for me to ponder. There are terms for this in (Gaician) Spanish (morriña) and Portuguese/Cape Verdean saudade/sodade... These have always resonated with me, though I am a native speaker of English. I appreciate your practice and your generous sharing. I feel connected.

Yes... it does help! Great topic!

Thank you Scott

Great talk! thank you.

Thanks kindly for this teaching!

🧡

Thank you, Scott. Very helpful talk.

Thank you Scott

I always enjoy your talks Scott. The way you referenced FLUIDITY really resonated with me. This is a helpful and practical way for me to relate to the inevitable difficulties that will arise in my life. Thank you!

Scott, Thank you, your talk was very helpful. Merritt Ireland

Thank you ! When we focus on the process rather than who we want to be one day yields better results than wishing to be someone than we are not . If this is what we want to be is not living in the present moments and overly wishing to be someone better more kind, more loving is like anxiety thinking pattern . This is my understanding 😊 .

Thank you 😊

By thinking we get more into thinking especially when some disturbing emotions comes up and I end up more fighting with my enemy in my head who is right who is wrong 😅 and it triggered more emotion and complicated . What practise do you suggest when I am so caught with my thinking instead of observing or BEING ? I am more doing ( thinking , changing , fixing etc ) than Being.

contraction is a reaction to suffering and it perpetually suffering . Yes , it sure does throughout the years I like to be control of certain things but this in control action in fact control me .May I know where I can find the teaching on how to open up gradually from you

Are you saying why worry about something which is not happening now but stay present what is happening now like sensation , breathe etc ?

Thank you🙏🙏. Yes..Commitment to the path and continuing in spite of repeated failures.

Judgement and got stuck vs being curious .Thank you!

Thank you🙏🙏

Hi, this hit home to realize how my mind gets overwhelmed with a hunger to master something or do more, be a better person, more loving, supportive whatever. It's not that great! But to stop and drop. I can stop the momentum and cheer up on the spot with what I've learned so far. Thanks Scott for what you offer out. It is truly amazing to have these teachings.

Thanks Scott🙏🙏

​ @scott_tusa In fairness , I didn't listen to the rest of the video. When I hear someone say to keep your eyes open or closed, it leaves too much room for ambiguity as a person is left guessing as to what "feels" most right to them. I have to say that after listening to the rest,the experience made more sense.

So, vague.

Thanks Scott. I think this will inspire one to start a day. That we can change by remembering Buddha. 🙏🙏
