Summary: "Awakening isn't so much that you're fixing what's wrong or improving what's gone off as you are expanding your range to include what you exclude." <br> "Namgyal Rinpoche mentioned two ways to increase your intelligence: increase the range of what you eat and increase the range of your sexual experience." <br> "'Unwholesome' means choosing things that you may be habitually comfortable with but which aren't taking you forward. They're holding you in place in a limited conditioning based on security and comfort." <br> "When you start to meditate and you're doing Amitabha practice, this is a place where rather than seeking after familiar and comfortable experiences you just note the ones that are arising." <br> "You really need just two things for awakening: a good heart -- the actual desire for the welfare of other beings -- and determination (cetana)." <br> This talk was recorded on April 7, 2010 at Maitreya House in the United Kingdom <br> <a href="http://crystalgroup.org.uk/maitreya.htm">http://crystalgroup.org.uk/maitreya.htm</a>
