This week’s topic is “Generosity at the Heart of One of Life’s Greatest Mysteries“.

 

What meaning does generosity embody when we open our minds to accepting one of life’s greatest realities – that in fact we know and master very little. Let us explore the different ways in which facing our experiences with generosity allows us to let go of our preconceptions and taste all of life’s flavours and feel fully alive.

  • Awakening from fear.

    Recorded : December 6, 2015

    Recorded : February 7, 2021

    We find ourselves concerned with the state of the world yet we do not live in one world. Our inner world reveals significant differences from the outer world.

    We’re grateful to have Miles Kessler leading our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May they support and enrich your practice.

In this week of daily meditation practice, Miles Kessler will lead you through an exploration of how the path of insight meditation unfolds on the cushion, but also in your daily life.

    Forgiveness: The Practice of Returning to Love

    Recorded : September 14, 2025

    A heart rooted in compassion longs to uplift and free all beings. Yet holding such a heart is not always easy. We stumble, we protect, we carry wounds.

    Citta and Right Speech: Cultivating the Voice of Kindness and Wisdom

    Recorded : July 31, 2022

    Dharma practice encourages us to transform our thoughts, words and actions. The primary mechanism for how this is accomplished is vague. What often goes unnoticed is that the use of the term mind has undergone a radical psychologization from the time of the Buddha into present day. During this session we will explore the many nuances of…
