“Right” Effort in Meditation, Practice and Life
The importance of focusing our attention and investigation on Effort in meditation, practice and life is frequently overlooked or minimized. “Right Effort,” or “Right Energy,” is foundational to our understanding and development of all the core elements of Buddhist practice. It is essential to integrating practice into daily life and relationships. And the way we use Effort is a significant factor in whether the way we conduct our practice and lives is practical and pragmatic, or informed as “spiritual” or “dharmic” in nature. Join us this evening to explore these questions:
What is Right Effort? What makes it “Right?”
Is Right Effort different from Right “Energy?”
Why is Right Effort considered foundational?
What are specific, practical, useable examples of how to work with Right Effort in meditation?
Other aspects of practice? Daily life? Relationships?
What makes Right Effort a significant factor in informing practice and life as spiritual or dharmic?
Whether you’re just beginning your practice, or have been on the path for years, you’ll find something helpful in this evening investigation. We welcome you to join us either in person or via ZOOM. Dennis will be presenting in person. He encourages you to be there in person to meet with old as well as new friends, and enjoy an evening of community and exploring the Buddha’s teachings.
