Description
What does freedom and intentionality have to do with your practice?
In American culture, freedom is often defined by going with the flow – full spontaneity, no calendars, no rules, no goals. In Buddhism, going with the flow has a very different flavor. Perhaps one should consider going against the flow? From Gil Fronsdal’s essay, Skillful Ways to Evaluate Your Practice - “Our practice flourishes when we have intentionality.” Tune in to this week’s episode as Gregory chats intentionality and our concepts of freedom, and how that applies to your spiritual practice.
