Carol Wilson's Dharma Talks at Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center
Carol Wilson
What I most love in my teaching practice is seeing students become dedicated to their own liberation. As their spiritual practice matures, people light up from within when they begin to understand that personal freedom is possible. This commitment to freedom on the part of the student inspires me to find ways to express my deepest understanding and enthusiasm for liberation.

2002-10-30 Awareness & Compassion 61:25
The natural expression of emptiness or anatta is compassion or friendliness. This motivation of heart develops naturally as wisdom and mindfulness deepen and we cannotice this happening both in retreat and in our daily lives.

2002-10-18 Self-Judgement And Compassion 61:13
Our habit of aversion stems from our not deeply understanding the First Noble Truth, -and thus reacting to difficulty with various forms of denial, resistance, avoidance. When we see that our tendency to judge ourselves is based on misunderstanding the way things are, we can open to our experience with more wisdom and compassion.

Seeing that the heart of our practice stems from our motivation rather than from achieving certain experiences. Mindfulness enables us to shift our attitude from self-centered striving to one of confidence in awareness.

2001-10-26 Aspiration And Compassion 56:29
Intention is the seed of kamma; when we consciously hold in our minds our highest aspirations, they inform our present moment decisions and give us courage and vision. In the light of awareness, the compassionate response shines forth as our natural response to life.
