"Papanca and the Plague" - Devin Wallace
About this event
Due to the increase of COVID in our county, Sunday Programs will be held on Zoom only (no in-person attendance) until case numbers and hospitalizations are on a downward trajectory.
The Pali term papanca, which was used by the Buddha, is usually defined as the tendency of the mind to respond to perceptions by "spiralling out" -- engaging in conceptual proliferation.
One fruit of papanca is the generation of recurrent worrisome thoughts. The COVID plague, quite understandably, has greatly multiplied that tendency.
Which raises the question: When is worry helpful (protective, instructive, motivational) and when is it not (pain-producing papanca)? And -- How do we discern and skillfully deal with the two forms?
Tonight we'll explore those questions with exercises and discussion.
