Resolve or Determination is considered a pivotal skill in Buddhism. It is essential to implementing and sustaining our intention. It helps us mobilize and stabilize focus, attention, and effort. That’s what makes it a Parami, a special quality of mind essential to deepening and maturing our meditation practice, as well as living a full and satisfying life. This evening will be devoted to exploring the nature of Resolve, how to develop it and specific ways to use it in meditation and daily life. The subject matter of this evening will be appropriate for all stages of practice.
