"Freedom from the Past: Healing and Transformation"
Thầy presents the tenth exercise, Gladdening the Mind, from the Sutra on the Full Awareness of Breathing. He explores selective watering: cultivating positive seeds and avoiding watering negative seeds. Thầy then moves to the eleventh exercise, Concentrating our Mind, offering teachings on mindfulness, making a peace treaty with ourselves and our beloveds, the practice of beginning anew and embracing our suffering in order to transform it.
This is the sixth talk in a series given during The Path of Emancipation, twenty-one-day retreat in the year 1998. Thầy offered this talk at St. Michael’s College, Burlington, Vermont, in the United States.
These teachings later appear in the book The Path of Emancipation.
