These dharma talks offer an overview of Sayadaw’s “daily life meditation,” plus deep dives on its handful of underlying principles (Right Attitude, Right Effort, Right View, Right Interest), and on practices crucial to developing continuous awareness in daily life, i.e., “off the cushion” practice.

The talks are from the weekly meetings of Monday Friends, an online group which is always free and open to anyone. (To receive a weekly email reminder of the meetings, click here.)
