| Investigating our human condition through the teachings on the Three Characteristics – impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and not-self – brings us into deeper communion with our true nature and all that lives. Investigating experience in the light of this central teaching of the Buddha brings awareness to our habitual attachments and reactions to experience. Seeing this process clearly, we recognize the wisdom of letting go. Compassion, inner contentment and confidence are the fruits of such release. From this place of strength and balance, we can explore how we relate to ourselves and those close to us, as well as to the greater environment – when we reside in the awakened mind, everything is teaching us. |
