Recognizing Nibbana through Developing a Skill of the Right Attitude | Zach #6 | 9.13.21
This insightful and uplifting conversation starts off with Zach's question about Nibbana. Dhammarato circles around this phenomenon touching upon a few topics, including wholesome/unwholesome thoughts, GREB, anger/denial of anger, Stoicism, the notion of Self, and even global warming. The central theme is held over the exploration of the immediate surroundings and recognition of Nibbana right here and now. All of it summarized in a fun bold statement: "Be the change you wish to see. Screw the world!"
