This evening, I want to discuss a fundamental lesson from Buddhist meditation: learning to respond thoughtfully rather than simply reacting. I’ll explore this topic with you and aim to offer some practical tools for developing this skill. I believe that understanding how to respond instead of react is an essential aspect of meditation practice and something we continually strive to master. What’s your first reaction when you stub your toe? What’s the first thing you do? What’s the first thing you say?
