A dharma talk exploring adhitthana (resolve/determination) through the story of Milarepa, the Tibetan yogi who transformed from a vengeful sorcerer into Tibet's most beloved Buddhist practitioner. Nico discusses how spiritual practice requires uncomfortable heat and urgency (samvega), how purification is often difficult work, and the four types of resolve: wisdom, truth, generosity, and peace. He emphasizes that determination is always communal - we never practice alone but are supported by teachers, sangha, and the natural world.
