Liberating Dissatisfaction

Inherent to life is dissatisfaction—a pivotal teaching of the Buddha. While it’s possible to experience extraordinary peace and contentment that comes from awakening to reality beyond separation, it doesn’t mean that dissatisfaction completely disappears. In this eloquent, moving, and compassionate retreat talk, Adyashanti illuminates the root cause of dissatisfaction and offers guidance to liberate its incessant grip on the human condition.

Topics Include:

• The Ego Is Never Satisfied
• The Endless Pursuit of More
• The Alternative to Separate Self
• Cessation of Dissatisfaction
• What Are You Suppressing?
• Fearless Vulnerability
• True Prayer
• Encountering Each Moment of Your Life

Quotes from this Download:

“Each time you see through the separate self, even a little, some dissatisfaction disappears.”

“True spiritual engagement begins when we realize the ego will never be satisfied.”

“Bliss means no more craving.”

“When we come out of hiding, it sets the heart free.”
