Sukha is a mental quality of pleasure that points to happiness, ease, or joy.

Some practitioners get trapped in a narrow view of what mindfulness is which limits their practice.

I’d like to explore a question for us to reflect upon: What drives our actions, our choices? What motivates us into action?

Equanimity allows us to be settled without being settled. This is the paradox I want to explore.

A courageous heart is a compassionate heart –- a heart that is sensitive and open and responsive to the painful elements in our life.

“Things are not as they appear, nor are they otherwise.”
