The Sage: Talk
from Wild Heart Detroit Hosted by Wild Heart Detroit
This week, Andrew explores Chapter 6 of the Dhammapada, “The Sage,” and the question: What are we actually practicing toward? Through vivid images of wise friendship, craftspeople shaping their materials, a rock unmoved by wind, a clear lake, and the journey to the “other shore,” Andrew reflects on spiritual friendship, the craft of training the heart and mind, equanimity, and the Buddhist path toward freedom. The talk concludes with the Dhammapada’s striking description of those devoted to the path as “luminous and completely liberated in this life” inviting us to consider what might be possible when we make a lifetime practice of cultivating the heart and mind. Prompt: What animal represents how you are feeling today? Offered freely in the spirit of dāna. Donations are appreciated, never expected.
