"Letting the World Go Free" by Paul Harris

All passionate involvement in the world stems from the belief that life should be different than it is. The cessation of suffering comes from the total acceptance of life could not be different than it is. The first step in walking the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path is to straighten one’s views to accord with reality. This talk explores two aspects of the training: the Divine Abidings and Insight Meditation. By learning how to be even-minded in every life situation, we can experience any of the worldly conditions without being disturbed by any of them.

Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquillity.
