An Appropriate Response: Living from an Awake Heart
Much of our suffering comes from reacting to stressful situations with fear or aggression, rather than responding with wisdom and care. This talk explores the pathway of shifting from reacting to responding: this includes learning to pause, awakening the wings of mindfulness and kindness, and reconnecting with our deepest intention.
From Buddhist teachings…
The thought manifests the word;
The word manifests the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
habit hardens into character;
and character into destiny.So watch your thoughts with care,
And let them spring forth from love
Born out of compassion for all beings.
