In this talk, Renata explores clear seeing (vipassanā) as a central aspect of the Buddha’s awakening and of the path of practice itself. Drawing on the Buddha’s insight into dependent origination, she reflects on the conditioned, interconnected nature of reality, and on the three characteristics of existence: impermanence (anicca), suffering or unsatisfactoriness (dukkha), and not-self (anattā). Rather than presenting these as abstract ideas, the talk brings them into direct relationship with lived experience, showing how suffering deepens when we take thoughts, emotions, and sensations to be solid, personal, and enduring.
