The Four Remembrances
Channel: SF Dharma Collective
Date: 2023-10-27

Eve discusses the 4 Remembrances and leads a contemplative practice on these reminders that can turn the mind toward our true nature, opening us up to more love, wisdom, and liberation from samsara. During the practice, Eve experiments with the oscillation of awareness from a narrow focus to a wide open view. 

Eve then continues reading from "Old Path, White Clouds" by Thich Nhat Hanh, reading Chapter 64: "Round of Birth and Death” and discussed Buddha’s famous teaching on the second arrow. 

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.
