Today’s chant:
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

AUM Ah Hung Vajra Guru Pemé Siddhi Hung (x3)

Is it any wonder that…

According to the Buddha’s teachings, nothing exists in isolation – everything is part of a constantly shifting web of relationships. This week, we’ll explore the deeper, and sometimes challenging reality of interconnection beyond spiritual clichés. Through reflection and practice, we’ll develop a grounded, practical approach to living this insight in everyday life.

This week’s topic is “Human nature, Buddha nature”. Each day this week we’ll begin meditation with a reflection on elements of human nature that can be welcomed, explored and transformed through a path of practice, pointing to Buddha’s central themes of awakeness, compassion and liberation.

Not all stress is bad. Yet without mindful awareness, anticipatory stress may spiral into reactivity, paralyzing fear and suffering. How do we meet this stress mindfully, use it skilfully, then let go?
