August 2025 Open Dharma Questions
Manage episode 498891250 series 2412354
During this talk, Peter responds to questions from those attending, focusing on the importance of establishing mindfulness of breathing as a stabilizing reference point, because the intention to remain aware of the sensations experienced while breathing as other mental phenomena occur provides a “distancing” effect, enabling us to be less affected as craving and clinging occur and thereby enabling us to understand the impermanent and impersonal nature of subjective experience. He also describes how he uses his body scanning practice to open to experiencing the absence of an enduring/autonomous self.
