The Three Precious Pills & The Three Gates of Liberation
Channel: SF Dharma Collective
Date: 2023-12-01

Eve leads a sit inspired by Wanguyl Rinpoche in which we practice with the “three precious pills: stillness, silence and openness”. She then discusses chapter 68 in "Old Path, White Clouds", by Thich Nhat Hanh,in which the Buddha discusses the Suta on the Dharma Seal and explains the three gates of liberation: Emptiness (interdependent co-arising), Signlessness (transcending mental discrimination) and Aimlessness (not chasing ANYthing). 

☀️  Eve Ekman, MSW, PhD, is the director of training at the Greater Good Science Center. She is also a UC Berkeley- and UCSF-trained social scientist and teacher in the field of emotional awareness and burnout prevention. Eve is a second-generation emotion researcher and has had meaningful collaborations with her father, renowned emotion researcher Dr. Paul Ekman. Their most recent project, The Atlas of Emotions, is an online visual tool to teach a language for improving our emotional awareness that was commissioned and supported by the Dalai Lama. Eve is the co-lead instructor for Cultivating Emotional Balance, an evidence-based meditation and emotion regulation training developed by Dr. Paul Ekman and Buddhist scholar Alan Wallace.
