“Practicing the Jhāna to that depth,
seeing Nirodha,
entering Nirodha,
you have to understand Dependent Origination at its core,
but also know the wheel of Dhamma, and which direction that is–
and that is: letting go, relaxing, smiling.
Cultivating love,
cultivating compassion,
forgiveness,
states that are not sticky,
they are just generous, open…
…Dependent Origination is the blueprint of the wheel of Saṃsāra,
and Jhāna is the path of practice, and the direction.”
