About this episode
Kusalasara discusses wise attention as a means to perceive reality clearly, using the parable of the blind men and the elephant to illustrate the dangers of partial perspectives.
In this episode, Kusalasara introduces the series " Revering and Relying on the Dharma ," focusing on the practice of wise attention as a tool to perceive reality without the distortions of craving or bias. By exploring the parable of the blind men and the elephant , the talk illustrates how attachment to partial perspectives creates a "thicket of views" that can lead to conflict and a sense of isolation. We are invited to move beyond fixed certainties and conditioning to discover a more spacious, interconnected way of seeing.
