11/20/2025 “What Are We Supposed to ‘See Clearly?” 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.

One of the fundamental teachings we hear regularly is to “see things clearly as they are.” But Seeing Clearly is not an inherent quality of mind. It is a skill that matures through intentional development. Join us this evening to explore these questions:

  • What does it mean to “see clearly”?
  • What are we supposed to see clearly?
  • Why is seeing clearly so important?
  • What are the obstacles to seeing clearly? And what do we do about them?
  • How do we develop this skill?

The presentation and discussion will include a practical examination, and handout, of the critical elements of the Historical Buddha’s Psychology of Causation which explains the nature of suffering. We’ll apply Seeing Clearly to the stressful dynamics of being with family during the holidays.
