    Gil Fronsdal leads a Guided Meditation Dharmette: Resolve/Allow Learning How to Know which is Skillful In The Moment. Resolve is a beautiful quality.

    If we practice resolve, we might be successful in following through on our resolves. We might also if we figure out how to do resolve in a healthy way, resolve is a beautiful quality of the heart and mind that we can nourish and support, with a variety of benefits.

    Gil describes resolve as something that can build strength, kind of building a muscle. And so that if we practice resolve we develop a greater capacity for resolve, so when we come into a situation in life that’s quite challenging, we can stay resolved in a situation where normally we would collapse, give up, or be overwhelmed.

    The purpose of the practice, doing in itself and how we do it and building the capacity so we can carry into situations.
