SUMMARY:Sunday Sitting and Talk Online
DESCRIPTION:Shaila Catherine will offer the guided meditation and dhamma teachings at this online meditation group hosted by Sangha Live. \nTopic: Protecting the Mind \nDescription: \nThe encounter with sensory experiences can lead to insight and calm\, or reactivity and suffering. How do you guard your mind in the midst of a daily barrage of sensory input? How do you protect your mind so that tranquility and wisdom will be well established? The Buddha encouraged restraint of the senses\, but this restraint does not require avoidance of sensory contacts or control of the external environment. In this talk\, Shaila Catherine will describe how mindfulness allows us to meet the experiences of sensory contact — of seeing\, hearing\, smelling\, tasting\, touching\, and thinking with a mind free of reactivity. Mindfulness protects the mind so that it does not come under the sway of defilements. Mindfulness is a special quality of attention that is balanced in the moment of observing experience. Before looking\, before reaching\, before speaking\, before any activity\, we can establish the intention of mindfully meeting the experience without giving rise to anger\, irritation\, lust\, fear\, or any defilement. The practice of sensory restraint leads to a life of happiness and joy\, and lays the foundation for experiences of deep concentration and awakening. \nSunday\, April 20 at 11:00 AM Pacific Time \nMore information will be posted on the Sangha Live website in the weeks prior to the event: https://sangha.live/free_live/sunday-sangha-20th-april-2025/ \nBy donation.
