The Path of Penetrating Wisdom

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.
The recording does not include the guided meditation prior to the talk, nor does it include the discussion and Q&A that followed. If you are interested in the full 1.5 hrs session, please write to us at [e-mail].

The premise of the 100 Days of Care is that as we learn to love ourselves (and others) more deeply, we will naturally begin to make more compassionate choices - to do the things that lead to peace.
The 100 Days invites you to see yourself as an experiment in conditioning. Take actions with clear intentions, examine the results, tweak your relationship to your experience and repeat.
The 100 Days of Care is a freely offered program. It can be done in a blank journal if you don't have the workbook. Donations are appreciated.
