The Gap: When Reactivity Arises from Loss of Mindfulness (Phillip Moffitt)




Seattle Insight Meditation Society show

Summary: Offered by Phillip Moffitt for SIMS at Nalanda West, 2019 December 06 Phillip Moffitt takes us through an exploration of “The Gap”—that interval of time when we lose mindfulness and intention which then leads to unwise speech and action. This investigation was inspired by a line written by André Aciman in a New Yorker article that appeared in March of 2014: “In between knowing something and refusing to know it, lies a murky chasm that even the most enlightened among us is perfectly happy to inhabit.” This talk is also presented in video here: https://seattleinsight.org/Talks/Talk/TalkID/1128
