Santi — the cooling the path produces. Not absence of conflict but presence of clarity.
Nirvana is the extinction of the fires of greed, hatred, and delusion — the unconditioned reality realised when craving ceases. Parinirvana is the final passing of an awakened being beyond the conditioned aggregates at death.
The practice of cultivating tranquility and one-pointed concentration. The companion to vipassana — the two yoked together carry the dharma.
The Birth.
A meditation broadcast in the UN initiative series, framed around the explicit aim of cultivating both individual peace and the wider peace of the world.
The second broadcast in the series. A short guided contemplation, available daily.
The third broadcast in the series — the same fifteen-minute frame, a different teacher, the same quiet aim.
The fourth broadcast in the series. Daily meditation framed as a small civic act.
