Countless are living beings
I vow to row them all to the further shore
Countless are the poisons
I vow to purify them all
Countless are the teachings
I vow to understand them all
Countless are the blessings
I vow to bow my heart to them all
And though the road is endless
I vow to walk it to the very end
Yes though the road is endless
I vow to walk it to the very end

There is a power in simply being here now. In times of trouble, the ability to be radically present might have more to offer than we think. Join Lama Willa as she explores this topic in this session.

We’re delighted to have Antonia Sumbundu guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May these sessions support and deepen your practice.
This week’s theme is: Awakening Courage: Embracing Being, Belonging, and Becoming
A week of morning meditations to awaken the heart’s quiet, natural courage. Through presence, reflection, and stillness, these sessions invite us to rest in being – gently returning to awareness itself; to open into belonging – feeling our inseparable connection with the web of life; and to trust our becoming – the unfolding of wisdom and love through all that we do.
In the rhythm of being, belonging, and becoming, we are invited to live with authenticity, tenderness, and wholehearted courage.

So much of what we hear and learn about within Dharma practice places an arguably unnecessary emphasis on suffering (dukkha).

You will never directly know my inner universe. Also, our bodies evolved to relate. The brain is a relational organ. Our sense of safety and joy, suffering and inquiry, has…
