Unconditioned Happiness

The Citta (heart/mind) is often impassioned and driven outwards into the sense world, looking for nourishment, satisfaction, and happiness. Dharma practice trains the Citta to rest back in the moment, not turn outwards, but inwards toward its own inherent qualities. It is here, and only here, that the Citta can be content and happy–not happy because it’s feeding on some particular sense contact, but happy within itself. 

We will use mindfulness of the body to cultivate a suitable home and resting place for the Citta, as well as work with the inevitable unprocessed mind states and emotions that arise when we gently turn our attention inward.
