Balanced Effort: Establishing Purpose, Practice, & Patience

from Wild Heart Meditation Center · host Andrew Chapman

The Buddha spoke about "Balanced Effort" more than any other factor of the eightfold path. Simply put, effort is the part of our human experience that provides the capacity for all other things. It is the foundation of what helps us establish a purpose, cultivate and sustain and practice, and develop a steadfast and gentle patience within the gradual process of awakening.
