Daily Meditation Recordings with Christopher Titmuss- Week of September 9, 2024

Christopher Titmuss

We’re fortunate that Christopher Titmuss has generously offered to lead our daily meditation sessions for Europe and the UK. To find out more about Christopher, and to view his other contributions to Sangha Live, click here.

 

This week’s topic is “The Changeless. Knock, knock on Heaven’s Door

 

Conventional human experience reveals the subject and the object. The object includes, mind/body/things/world/time/space and here and now. All of these are subject to change. The subject includes consciousness, perception, awareness, attention, mindfulness, I and my. All subject to change. We might conclude true reality reveals change. Can realisation of the changeless make easy the navigation of change?

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Zohar Lavie – Week of June 3, 2024

    This week’s topic is “Letting Go, Cultivating Deep Peace”. The Buddha’s teachings offer a profoundly pragmatic, compassionate and wise response to the human condition. During this week we will explore the art of pausing, looking deeply into our own lived experience and letting go of clinging, as foundations for developing a peaceful heart. This supports the possibilities for both our own well-being, as well as peace in the external world.
