Knowing liberation through the ordinary.

You know everything changes, so why do you suffer when possessions are lost, relationships end, or friends die? Insight meditation is oriented toward seeing three characteristics—the impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and emptiness of experience. In some ways these are ordinary and obvious insights. Every day we experience changing sensory impressions; we cannot control what happens; and we have never succeeded in attaining lasting happiness from transient phenomena. Yet, these simple insights have the power to uproot our deepest misperceptions. When we see them clearly, we do not cling; when not-clinging, the mind is freed. This series will explore the nature of insight, wisdom, and liberating knowledge with an emphasis on what are called the three characteristics, or three doorways to nibbana.
