Having opened up the winter-retreat schedule, Ajahn Pasanno reminds us to use our time – our life – skillfully, by continually investigating the characteristics of anicca, dukkha, and anattā instead of leaving them in the realm of books, Dhamma-talks, or negativity. In doing so, we can cut-off the tendency to complacency and give ourselves a great opportunity to let go of all conditioned things (whether they’re unpleasant or not) so we can truly realize an ever-present peace. This talk was offered on January 20, 2017 at Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery.
