In American culture, freedom is often defined by going with the flow – full spontaneity, no calendars, no rules, no goals.  In Buddhism, going with the flow has a very different flavor.  Perhaps one should consider going against the flow?  From Gil Fronsdal’s essay, Skillful Ways to Evaluate Your Practice - “Our practice flourishes when we have intentionality.”  Tune in to this week’s episode as Gregory chats intentionality and our concepts of freedom, and how that applies to your spiritual practice.

Gregory Maloof is a western Dharma teacher from the Ruth Denison lineage.
