As we observe contact (phassa) and feeling tone (vedanā), we can start to see how the mind habitually reacts—grasping, resisting, or holding on. This is where the Buddha’s teaching becomes immediate: we begin to experience impermanence (anicca), the unsatisfying nature of clinging (dukkha), and the absence of a fixed self (anattā). With practice, awareness at the level of vedanā can soften these reactions, gently interrupting the cycle of suffering and opening the possibility of greater ease and freedom.

Everyone is invited to stay afterwards for a community potluck.
