Devin Berry: Patience is How You Wait (Retreat at Spirit Rock)

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) The Buddha placed patience first when he summarized the whole path (Dhammapada 184) as the felt texture of wise effort. The question is what is the heart is doing while the time passes. With the hen who warms her eggs, Sona's lute, and an old trumpet player in the desert; a talk on how the heart opens: not by pushing, but by keeping something warm.
