Joy To Gratitude And Generosity
During this talk on Thanksgiving Eve, Peter describes how the cultivation of mindfulness of breathing meditation frees energy from being bound up by the Hindrances, creating the buoyantly engaged interest characteristic of the Awakening Factor of Joy, which provides the foundation for the experience of gratitude. Gratitude often involves a reciprocal interpersonal manifestation of generosity. He describes how different areas of brain/body interactions create the subjective experience of joy, gratitude and generosity. The explanation is followed by questions and comments from those participating in the meeting.
Here are the notes prepared for this talk: Thoughts On Gratitude
This talk was preceded by a guided meditation: Contemplating Joy, Gratitude, and Generosity, which is posted in the guided meditation archive of the website.
