Daily Meditation Recordings, with Jaya Rudgard – Week of 07 April, 2025

Jaya Rudgard

We are delighted to have Jaya Rudgard leading our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May they bring nourishment to your practice.

This week’s theme is: Dharma Here and Now: The Art of Being Present

As meditators we aspire to being awake to life. We know that this life with its gifts, challenges and opportunities, only ever happens NOW, yet this NOW often eludes us. This week we’ll investigate what helps and hinders our fully inhabiting the moments of our day, and what possibilities might emerge when we do so.

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

An auspicious day

  1. Hi Jaya
    Loved last week’s meditations and looking forward to next week 🙂
    Is there another recording which contains the verse you read in Pali please? I can only see the 4 recordings.
    Thanks

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Miles Kessler – Week of 21 July, 2025

    We’re grateful to have Miles Kessler guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May these sessions support and enrich your practice. This week’s theme is: Dharma Practice in a Polarized World: Moving from Dissonance to Resonance and Coherence. In this week of Daily Meditations, you are invited to join Miles in an exploration into how our inner conflicts mirror our relational conflicts, and how our relational conflicts mirror the conflicts we see in the world. You will learn how your practice evolving on the cushion is the same process for healing conflicts in the world.

    Practicing for the love of it.

    Recorded : January 17, 2016

    Before the session Martin wrote: “A Burmese teacher once told a friend of mine to always enjoy his practice. We love meditation in theory, and we want to grow and transform, and we certainly would like to be liberated from our suffering. And yet! We easily turn meditation into a chore, and feel discouraged by…

    Climate Code Red

    Recorded : November 7, 2021

    However challenging, we are in these times because we need to be here. We are here to release from what no longer serves and to infuse a new story with clear, wise, conscious intention; a story about building our collective resilience as we rise, with compassion, to save what we can.
