Cooling the Fires: Talk
from Wild Heart Detroit Hosted by Wild Heart Detroit
In this opening talk of Wild Heart Detroit’s June series, The Freedom of Non-Grasping, Andrew explores Nibbāna through one of its most practical images: the cooling of the fires of greed, hatred, and delusion. Drawing from The Island by Ajahn Pasanno and Ajahn Amaro, this talk looks at how those fires show up in everyday life as craving, resistance, anxiety, comparison, control, and self-judgment, and how freedom begins when we learn to see grasping clearly without adding more fuel. Cooling is not numbness or indifference, but the possibility of caring, responding, and living without being consumed. Prompt: What movie scene represents grasping in your mind? Talk segment that complements the sit portion on Cooling the Fires Group Date: 6/2/2026
