Cultivating Curiosity

In this podcast we will explore how spiritual freedom can be found in the mindful and compassionate investigation of present moment experience. It involves letting go of fixed ideas/opinions/judgements/biases and opening up to the actual nature of life in the here and now. It is relatively easy to be curious about the aspects of life that inspire us, bring us joy and ignite our passions. The invitation in spiritual practice is also to be curious about that which causes us (all of us) pain, discomfort and suffering. Curiosity is another way of describing investigation, which is one of the seven factors of enlightenment. Investigation is central to Vipassana meditation practice, and can be considered a partner to mindfulness.

Please join us to explore this important factor in the process of awakening through guided and silent meditation, group sharing and a short Dharma talk.
