Joanne addresses the commercialization of “mindfulness” in the culture at large, warning us that simply to learn how to calm ourselves down isn’t going far enough. She explains that we must go one step further and embrace our suffering – rather than merely putting a lid on it –– and look deeply into its causes and conditions. Only by doing so can we transform our suffering, and become free.
Dharma talk originally given in July, 2013.
