Cutting the chain of dependent origination, Joseph Goldstein teaches wise attention and freedom from defilement as the antidote to suffering. This episode is part of an in-depth 48-part weekly lecture series from Joseph Goldstein that delves into every aspect of the Satipatthana Sutta, one of the most celebrated and widely studied discourses in the Pāli Canon of Theravada Buddhism. If you are just jumping into the series, listen to Insight Hour Ep. 203 to follow along and get the full experience: https://youtu.be/RfuH9O7DS4o This time on Insight Hour, Joseph continues exploring: - The timelessness of the dhamma - How fetters of the mind arise and how to remove them - Preventing the future arising of mental fetters - The coming together of sense base, object, and consciousness - Desire as the automatic response to pleasant feelings - Aversion as our conditioned response to aversion - Neutrality and how it can lead to delusion - The necessity of wise attention to avoid suffering - Cutting the chain of dependent origination - Being mindful of what is actually arising moment to moment - Reinforcing our understanding of the impermanence of desire - Taking responsibility for our own minds “Coming to the end of suffering means that we learn how to work with and understand and free ourselves from the force of the fetters in the mind. What’s amazing about this teaching is that it’s ultimately, completely empowering because it’s all up to us. Our suffering is not due to other people. We can take responsibility for our own minds.”– Joseph Goldstein This talk was originally published on Dharmaseed ================ Joseph Goldstein: Suffering And The Senses – Insight Hour Ep. 228 – Satipatthana Sutta Series Pt. 25 - https://youtu.be/k476pV1Gt_g Joseph Goldstein – Insight Hour – Ep. 228 – Satipatthana Sutta Series Pt. 25: Suffering And The Senses - https://beherenownetwork.com/https://beherenownetwork.com/joseph-goldstein-insight-hour-ep-228-satipatthana-sutta-series-pt-25-suffering-and-the-senses/ ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
