	Description:		Joseph Goldstein describes the causes of sensual desire and how to be aware of the wanting-mind rather than suppressing it. The Satipatthana Sutta is one of the most celebrated and widely studied discourses in the Pāli Canon of Theravada Buddhism. This episode is the fourth part of an in-depth 48-part weekly lecture series from Joseph Goldstein that delves into every aspect of the Satipatthana Sutta. If you are just now jumping into the Satipatthana Sutta series, listen to Insight Hour Ep. 203 to follow along and get the full experience! This time on Insight Hour, Joseph reveals to listeners: Dhamma as categories of phenomena The mental turbulence of anger and aversion Stagnation of mind, restlessness of mind How hindrances alter and condition our perceptions Paying particular attention to times of transition Abandoning hindrances without aversion, self-judgment, and suppression Recognizing when sensual desire is present Obsessive passion, expectations, addictive cravings, and other manifestations of the wanting-mind How what we frequently ponder upon becomes our inclination of mind The misconception that our desires will bring us happiness Seeing the insubstantial nature of desire through mindfulness Reflecting on the Buddha’s teachings in the very moment that they are applicable The prevention of craving through awareness of the cause of desire and non-clinging “The question is: how can we practice working to abandon the hindrances without suppression, without aversion, and without self-judgment? In the sutta, the Buddha outlines five basic steps in working with the hindrances and finding the middle way between indulging in them and suppressing them. He charts the course for us.” – Joseph Goldstein See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
