The path of liberation laid out
by the Buddha is not one of self-judgment, grasping, or acquisitiveness,
but rather, one of balance. If we can bring our system into balance,
it is believed, freedom, love and compassion will emerge. One
essential way this balance is described is through the 7 factors
of enlightenment: mindfulness, investigation, effort, raptness,
calm, concentration and equanimity. This evening will emphasize
practical means of developing and balancing these qualities.
