The last meditation of the retreat: feeling into the benefits of our time of practice, and wishing them to be a support that can touch all beings: especially those who really need the peace and calm, the kindness and compassion, the clarity and wisdom at this time.
Maintaining a deep practice across the whole of our life is supported by wisdom and clear intention, and those are rooted well in an understanding of the dependent origination of dukkha and release.
Noticing the unsatisfactory nature of all phenomena might sound bleak. But instead of ruminating on whether it is true or not, consider whether it is useful: notice if this lens of attention brings release and an ever deeper sense of freedom.
