SECULAR DHARMA TALKS
The dharma of nostalgia – two talks by Winton Higgins
‘Unreflective nostalgia can breed monsters’, according to Svetlana Boym in her book, The future of nostalgia. In these two talks, Winton Higgins reflects on Boym’s book through a secular dharma lens.
We dharma practitioners need to nail nostalgia as a form of craving for existence, and to remember our responsibility to probe the phenomenon under the rubric of ‘investigation of phenomena’, the second of the seven factors of awakening.
Download The dharma of nostalgia as a PDF. These talks were given to Kookaburra Sangha, Sydney Australia, on 16 and 23 May 2022. ⁂
Don’t forget…
When you buy a Tuwhiri book from our online store, we pay for the postage, worldwide. ⁂
