5. Mental Stability (Concentration) Sunday, August 14 - 9 am-10.30 am AEST
Mental stability (concentration) is a state of mind totally free from mental wandering, dullness and emotional upset. Its benefits are:
- It enables us to stay focused on whatever we’re doing, so we can avoid mistakes and accidents.
- It helps us to overcome stress and anxiety and being over-excited, spaced-out, or emotionally agitated.
- It allows us to focus on what others are saying and how they’re behaving, so we can see better how to help them.
6. Discriminating Awareness (Wisdom) Sunday August 21 - 9am-10.30 am AEST
Discriminating awareness (wisdom) is the state of mind that differentiates correctly and with certainty between what is appropriate and inappropriate, and what is correct and incorrect. Its benefits are:
- It allows us to see clearly and correctly what to do and how to behave in any particular situation, stopping us from doing something we’ll later regret.
- It helps us to overcome indecision and confusion.
- It enables us to evaluate the situations of others accurately, so we know what to say and do that will be of most benefit.
