1/11/23 - Going Against the Flow

What does freedom and intentionality have to do with your practice?   In American culture, freedom is often defined by going with the flow – full spontaneity, no calendars, no rules, no goals.  In Buddhism, going with the flow has a very different flavor.  Perhaps one should consider going against the flow?  From Gil Fronsdal’s essay, Skillful Ways to Evaluate Your Practice - “Our practice flourishes when we have intentionality.”  Tune in to this week’s episode as Gregory chats intentionality and our concepts of freedom, and how that applies to your spiritual practice.
