This week’s topic is The Freedom of an Unassuming Mind.

 

The Buddha used the image of a tangled and knotted thread to represent the complex roots of human suffering and distress. It takes sensitivity, persistence, and care to disentangle the tangle of ‘dukkha’. A tricky part of this is that our assumptions about the world radically shape the way the world appears, while remaining quite hidden to us. Fortunately, wisdom teachings and practices bring assumptions into view and support the untying of these unseen knots, opening us into a wide and free existence.

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Leela Sarti – Week of 24 March, 2025

    We’re delighted to have Leela Sarti guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May these sessions support and deepen your practice.

    This week’s theme is: Entering the Timeless

    We often live caught in a charged and time bound perspective: I need to use my time! I don’t have enough time! time is running out! But as human beings we can also re-discover that time is malleable and through practice, the act of sacred awareness, relax into a sense of no time, deep time and all time.

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

This allows us to open to the truth of each moment’s…

    The Jewel of Sangha: We all need Community, Support and Love

    Recorded : September 15, 2019

    Martin writes: “Sangha is about community, support and love; it is one of the 3 jewels (Buddha-Dharma-Sangha) of our practice. But in the individualistic cultures and atomised structures in which many of us live, sangha too often gets inadequate attention. This is especially true in the Vipassana / Insight meditation tradition, because while silent meditation…

    Dharma, Sex, Intimacy and Covid

    Recorded : September 6, 2020

Contact and intimacy are deeply important to humans, and in this session Sangha Live founding and guiding teacher Martin Aylward explores different forms of…
