Day 5-5 Dharma talk Waking Up Dec 3, 2025 on retreat

This is a recording of Dharma talk four of the Nov-Dec “presence and the awakened heart” retreat at Sangsurya Byron Bay, Australia. The topic is waking up. It explores some possible ways that it could be triggered or we can follow, as well as ways it be considered and experienced. From the early Buddhist perspective, the talk describes a path of cultivating the wholesome and releasing the unwholesome or kilesa (mental distortions). This includes a story where the speaker became aware or woke up to some of his mental distortions, and by not nourishing them, he managed to experience some relative freedom. Waking up is framed as realising the reality of non-clinging.
