Roshi Joan begins the talk by quoting William James, “Each of us literally chooses by his (or her) way of attending to things what sort of universe he (or she) shall appear to inhabit.” Dan introduces the “Wheel of Awareness,” which he describes as the architecture of the mind. Dan leads a guided meditation through the 4 sections of the wheel of awareness.
