This talk traces the insight sequence of knowledge and vision of how things are - disenchantment - dispassion - release in retreat and daily life experience, with the intention of exploring the release of clinging as an accessible and understandable process that we can work with intentionally.
The sukha of tranquility supports the mind in happiness and contentment, decreasing the mind's movement away from this moment, and thereby supporting the gathering of samadhi. The 5 jhanic factors also support the decrease in the hindrances and the deepening of samadhi. The pitfall of clinging to samadhi and also the role of samadhi in cultivating insight close the talk.
