  • Daily Meditation Recordings, with Shireen Jilla – Week of 29 September, 2025

    We’re delighted to have Shireen Jilla guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May her teachings enrich your practice.

    This week’s theme is: Equanimity: Balancing at the Centre of the Seesaw of Life

    Every morning we will explore a different aspect of equanimity, this inner steadiness, and how we nurture it in our practice. What is this felt sense of spacious ease and how is it a wise check to overwhelming compassion? Actively engaging with our experience, how do we deeply let go? And finally, potently, we will explore equanimity as the gift of grace.

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