This Sunday was our last in-person meeting at the Lojong Space, the physical home for our sangha for many years.
Appropriately, Eric, who will lead this last meeting, chose the topic of Impermanence as the theme for meditation and discussion.
Eric writes,
As I was listening to this talk I was contemplating how associative our minds are. Similar salient events are grouped in our lives. Endings are grouped. So even a small ending, especially an unexpected one, can bring up emotions related to larger ones, like leaving a job, moving, a child leaving home, or the big one: death of a loved one. And since all phenomena are ending all of the time, these big events in our lives are always with us, maybe obviously, or maybe just below the surface, conditioning our experience. In this talk Jitendriya relates how anicca is not only a cause of dukkha, but also our way through it, a way to clearly see the source of it.
