Wednesday Wake-Up with Gregory Maloof

The Buddha stated to be a good student of the Dharma one must have the qualities of observation and truthfulness.  Most especially, an awareness and understanding of how our karmic actions fabricate both happiness and suffering.  Gregory chats about our inner life and where we have control in this week's talk.

The Buddha cited truthfulness as being a significant requisite on the path of practice.  How are we truthful with others?  How are we truthful with ourselves?  What are our blind spots and how can we acknowledge them in a space of safety?  Gregory chats about how truthfulness shows up in our lives in this week's talk.
