3/27/2025 “Practice As Discovery” with Dennis Warren

To download this talk, right-click and select ‘save audio as’ or select the 3-dot menu to the right of the speaker icon.

The Historical Buddha said that he taught only suffering and the end of suffering. While this sounds straightforward, the psychology, multitude of methods, and 1000s of the Buddha’s discourses can make understanding how to end suffering unclear and confusing.

At the center of getting a sound overview of practice, and understanding how the many pieces of practice fit together in one, cohesive whole, is the principle of discovery. It is the center piece around which all elements of practice revolve.
The talk and discussion this evening will focus on this important principle and the role it plays in meditation, daily life, and relationships.
