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

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nathan Glyde – Week of February 20, 2023

    This week’s topic is Subtilising Experience. The Dharma is a path to awakening. Our experience becomes more liberated as we awaken. Similarly, we can notice that our life progresses from the gross to the more subtle in awakening. A path of awakening freedom, then, is a path of subtilising: from perceptions of self and things in the world to space-time and even awareness, all phenomena transition from rigid and gross to fluid and refined, all the way to barely here at all.

His teaching on attending to the ‘Gladness Connected with the Wholesome’ is a key aspect of Wise Effort and developing a loving heart. We will practice and explore together this foundation for awakening joy.

    What does Liberation Mean?

    Recorded : June 22, 2025
