Episode 34 – A Gentle Interruption of Samsara

What is meditation’s role in finding nirvana within samsara? • samsara moves very quickly; confusion arises instantaneously, exploding and expanding so rapidly that we are overwhelmed • sitting practice gently interrupts the speed that perpetuates samsara • any disruption of that speed proves to be a threat, because it begins to expose vulnerable gaps • in those gaps there are possibilities of interrupting the pattern before it overtakes us, before small emotional flickers escalate into full-blown emotional outbursts • we don’t have to allow ourselves to be hooked over and over again • the gentle interruption of sitting meditation practice, humble and simple as it may seem, is one of the most powerful conquerors of patterns of suffering • it could be said to be the “superpower” of the practice of meditation
