Four Kinds of Intelligence for Optimal Mental Health and Balance

D2S4 - Unhappiness From Within, and the Ambrosial Dwelling

Lama Alan · 83 minutes

Genuine unhappiness, with no external referent, comes from the mind you brought into that room, Tsongkhapa's observation set beside a friend who called nine months of solitude a river of gold. Mindfulness of breathing is the one method the Buddha recommends for minds chronically caught up in rumination, and his account of where it leads runs peaceful, sublime, ambrosial, with arisen afflictions getting no footing. A guided practice follows, and he closes on the research centre being built in Tuscany.
