Description
This talk explore what is often considered the “fruit” of our practice - equanimity (upekkha) - or balanced awareness - in the face of the so-called 10,000 joys and 10,000 sorrows that make up all the days and moments of our lives. This primary quality of mind and heart is the essence of what the monk and scholar Bhikkhu Analayo was pointing to when he summed up the entire practice in just four words: Keep Calmly Knowing Change. (And, as equanimity is the last of the 10 paramis, this will conclude the final talk in the series of 11 talks on the paramis.)
