This week’s topic is “Being Body“.

 

The body is an area where joy and pleasure can be experienced. At the same time, it will also let us down. There is no doubt about it. Given this paradox, can we learn to develop a relationship that dissolves and decreases our suffering related to the body?

This week we will explore the different possibilities the Buddha outlined for seeing “the body as the body”, rather than seeing the self in the body. To experience a body at peace with itself.

    Refuge: The Heart’s Own Knowing

    Recorded : September 29, 2019

    It’s important to recognize that we are living in extremely challenging times, and because of this, we are going to experience some very painful and disturbing bodily feelings, emotions, and mind states. As profound uncertainty deepens and intensifies within and all around, our Dharma practice becomes ever more vital. The ground and heart of this…

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nathan Glyde – Week of Sept 25, 2023

    This week’s topic is “Getting A Feel For Feeling”. As we perceive, we add a feeling (vedanā) to our experience. When we are unaware of this process and react to the projected feeling, it causes unnecessary suffering (dukkha). However, understanding this process and responding skilfully leads to one of the deepest senses of freedom available. Let’s explore this freedom through our daily meditations this week.

The self (‘I’ and ‘my’) lands on objects, voluntarily or involuntarily. Primary objects of interest include forms, feelings, perceptions, formations of mind/speech/body and consciousness (mindfulness, awareness, concentration and meditation). The self…
