Sydney insight meditation teacher Winton Higgins led a one-day secular Buddhist workshop for One Mindful Breath focussing on ‘Entering the tiger’s care, insight meditation and the inner life’. We recorded his talks and they’re available here.
Certitudes, and how to skilfully move beyond them
We’re all born equipped with the evolutionary factors of greed, hatred and delusion, which have helped us survive and thrive as a species – but they’re counterproductive now. That’s not the end of the list of evolutionary factors that once helped us, but now hinder us. Another is our craving for certitude, writes Winton Higgins.
The Politics of Decency
The tide of xenophobia, misogyny, prejudice and callousness towards ‘the Other’ is rising. This is the politics of indecency, so how do we create a sea wall that will turn it back? How do we respond forcefully with a politics of decency? What sort of communities and civil society do we want to build? How can we flourish as humans, living in harmony with each other and with nature, asks Winton Higgins?
