Invited Teacher: Kim Allen - Dharma Intelligence
About this event
Kim Allen - Dharma Intelligence
Spiritual teachings, Buddhist included, contain no shortage of warnings about being enamored with analytical or speculative thought. Awakening comes from releasing all this conceptual activity into a direct presence. However, the unawakened mind tends to misinterpret the warnings as prohibitions against using our thinking mind or even our intelligence. This talk explores how early Buddhist teachings trace a path from the skillful use of ordinary intelligence to the emergence and flowering of what could be called Dharma intelligence. The awakened mind is brilliant.
