Daily Meditation Recordings, with Sophie Boyer – Week of Mar 11, 2024

Sophie Boyer

Sophie Boyer

We’re fortunate that Sophie Boyer has generously offered to lead our daily meditation sessions for Europe and the UK. To find out more about Sophie, and to view her other contributions to Sangha Live, click here. Recordings will be posted by the end of the day of the live session.

 

This week’s topic is “To Be on the Road Without Leaving Home“.

 

Zen Master Hakuin reveals an apparent tension between movement and stillness in this statement.

 

What may the road refer to? What is called home?

 

Sophie Boyer will lead our Daily Meditations this week, inviting us to engage with this paradoxical dynamic. We’ll discover that stability and ground can become more spacious in every situation, every experience, and every condition. How it is possible to discover, or re-discover, home … endlessly.

  • Daily Meditation Recordings, with Christopher Titmuss – Week of 02 February, 2026

    This week’s theme is: Release First. If Not, Then Explore Renewal.

    Release means liberation, such as person released from prison. Confinement to problemetic history has finally come to an end. Our being knows a full engagement with life. With release, renewal comes naturally, such as entering deep sleep and waking up with renewed energy. Practice includes exploration of renewal while a transcendent view gives primary interest to release.

    Our Dharma Library thrives through collective generosity. Your donation helps sustain this offering for our entire community.

    Developing the Power of Heart and Mind

    Recorded : September 25, 2022

    Power matters when free from any corruption of mind, gross or subtle. We need to develop our power rather than feel powerless, indecisive or exploitive. Power emerges from unification of our whole being, focussing on a priority and sometimes engaging in a level of boldness. The Buddha referred to four areas to develop inner power…

    Coming Home To The Body with Breath

    Recorded : December 9, 2018

    The teachings of the dharma originate from meditation, sitting in zazen, in samadhi. Everything we need to know is in the depths of our being, but we must first come home. One breath at a time, until it is safe for us to turn all feelings back on, and be at home in the body….

    Equanimity: Dancing with the Unexpected

    Recorded : July 8, 2018

    Equanimity is a key spiritual faculty which allows us to face the known and the unknown, the ecstasies and the despairs, with steadiness and lightness. Equanimity helps us engage with life from an unlimited and interconnected perspective. The Buddhist image is of an island in the stormy seas – remembering that all islands are connected…
