This week of practice is an immersion into dharma practice, amidst the fullness of our lives. It is organized around the exploration of how sila (ethical conduct), samadhi (unified attention), and panna (wisdom) function in our interpersonal lives. We live in a web of mutuality - the interpersonal realm is where the rubber meets the road in our spiritual lives.
Others act like a magnet for the paramis (The ten perfections) and the kilesas (the ten afflictions), pulling both our goodness and our unconsciousness to the surface. How can we infuse the principles of the dharma into our relational lives? How can others serve as a mirror for our practice and self-understanding?
