This talk explores the second step of the Eightfold Path, Wise Intention—the heart’s compass that points us toward freedom. Rooted in the Buddha’s teachings, Wise Intention asks us to orient our lives around letting go of what doesn’t serve, cultivating goodwill instead of ill will, and living with compassion that seeks to do no harm. Through stories, reflections, and practical examples, we’ll look at how our inner intentions quietly but powerfully shape our choices, our relationships, and ultimately, our destiny.

You’ll learn how to recognize the subtle intentions behind your daily actions, how to release clinging and cultivate generosity of spirit, and how to bring kindness and compassion into even the smallest moments of your life. With teachings drawn from Theravāda practice and contemporary experience, this talk offers both inspiration and practical tools for setting intentions that align with your deepest values and bring more freedom into your day-to-day life.
