The Sangha discuss wakefulness, sleep, and consciousness as an object of meditation, mindfulness as profound contact, nibbāna, knowledge and vision of what is and is not the Path, the fantasy of enlightenment as an incentive for practice, and delight in practice and in the Dhamma. #enlightenment #sleep #saddha

The diverse problems of the spiritual journey demand a diverse range of responses. Rather than applying the same solution to every problem, the Buddha outlines seven methods of dealing with defilements, each of which works in certain cases.
