The Buddha’s Positioning System – BPS: Truth Coordinates for Daily Life Practice

The Buddha gives us coordinates to guide us in our practice, to get our bearings in this world so that we can realize what we are carrying and where we are going. We have the gift of mindfulness, the gift of wisdom or the ability to see wisely, and the gift of forbearance – a heroic patience. Bearing with and enduring every obstacle, we are the warriors of truth, winning the highest peace for ourselves and all the world. A talk given during Waking Up to the Peace in Our Hearts Monastic Retreat at Insight Meditation Society Retreat Centre in 2013.
