Devon Hase: Peace and Stillness: On Passaddhi and Equanimity Aug 20, 2026

Show notes

(Various) A talk on tranquility as its own awakening factor, not a lesser cousin of joy or concentration. We look at how calm arises naturally out of a happy mind that knows how to let go, what it actually feels like in the body, and how it matures into the absorption of samadhi and, further still, into a stillness governed by equanimity rather than effort.
