Variya

– Extraordinary Effort

Variya is one of the most important and effective aspects of any method of becoming conscious or approaching liberation including the Buddhist one – from which the word comes. It is not just a Buddhist concept because there are versions of it everywhere, but the Mahayana Buddhists, beginning with Nagarjuna and his Middle Way have probably left more literature which makes use of the concept than anyone else. This episode will explore what it is, what it means and how it is a tool in any approach to awakening, the use of which, everyone is capable.
