Infinite gratitude and appreciate to Thanissara for leading such a moving and insightful discussion.

Some moments that shined for me are;

“It seems impossible, until it’s done.”

“Everything might be lost, but we can’t lose our spirit.”

Be courageous!

Suffering is a catalyst for realization.

Steady the mind, steady the heart.

The comprehensiveness of our psychological determinism…our psychological condition… to truly not be able to be at peace until all living beings are in the vicinity of meaningful satiation, and to realize that at almost all moments that they already are… that these have always possibly been the mechanics of spontaneous satiation in the first place, somehow… to glimpse notions like the proliferation of education in the modern era has hurled the average individual exponentially forward and realize that right at this very moment moreso than any other are things really, really solid in a way that the acute contexts can hardly erode…arguably, some feel that we’re closer than ever to the place in which truly all beings around can be meaningfully “liberated”/spiritually matured…so as daunting of a notion as it initially seems, something about the sentiments resonates strongly with the flow of technological development in the world as of late (of empirical history, at that)…

That our personal liberation is bound to the liberation of ALL other beings, and at all moments going forward, at that…

I thought Thanissara was wonderful. I also loved “it seems impossible until it’s done.” I was curious about her so I googled her. She has a book! “Listening to the Heart—A Contemplative Journey to Engaged Buddhism” which sounds perfect for the time we are living in.

Today’s talk was wonderful and it helped me to reflect on things which are around me… Be courageous…

“Listening from heart allow us empathy”

“We take unreal to be real and real to be unreal”

Gratitude for creating this space for us :pray:

First time LSR student, long time listener.

I’m very grateful I popped into this community. It feels like a safe and welcoming place to learn and grow together.

I am indeed inspired!

I think the knowing that we are all in this very rapidly changing environment together brings a bit of fear but more so hope that as we continue to send out love, well being, healing, and peace, we can steer this earth ship in a more compassionate direction.

Thank you Thanissara & LSR :green_heart:

That we are meant to be here in these times. It does feel like the Lord of the Rings or Star Wars.
