Seven Factors of Enlightenment
This talk details the seven factors of enlightenment, emphasizing joy as crucial for enlightenment. Being alive and mindful breathing are wondrous gifts often overlooked due to emotions like anger and jealousy. Enlightenment involves awareness of existence, immediate joy, and mindfulness of breath and surroundings. Happiness arises from recognizing blessings like one’s mother, sight, and the beauty of nature. Enlightenment liberates suffering by connecting with life’s marvels, investigating emotions and surroundings akin to scientific inquiry. Buddhist practice involves clearing obstacles like despair and preconceived notions to reveal the mind’s clarity. Zen meditation uses concentration to overcome barriers. Understanding interconnectedness and letting go of biases leads to enlightenment. Equanimity transcends discrimination, fostering unity and happiness. Join the Golden Lion meditation at 10 o’clock.
