He founded the dharma organisation 'Espai Sati' in Barcelona, serves the LGBTQIA+ community, and teaches in English, Catalan and Spanish.
The imperfectly perfect teacher: the Buddha's hesitation to teach, a lifelong ambivalence between blissful solitude and human engagement, the human & vs the ideal Buddha. How unconditioned can awakening really be? How perfectionistic are we? Equanimity not as flawless calm but as the ability to hold fluctuations with gentleness.
Impermanence through the image of the Little Prince's rose. Is everything really dukkha just because it's transient? More on samatha & vipassanā. Stages in relinquishing reactivity. The Buddha's awakening as a discovery of secular faith, connecting impermanence to beauty & care, liberation through mettā.
