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.

  • Daily Meditation Recordings, with Leela Sarti – Week of April 18, 2022

    This week’s theme is “Timeless Presence in Daily Life: Being Yourself, Being at Home”. This week we will be exploring the possibility of being grounded in the depth of timeless presence in the midst of daily life. How to live a full life from silence and emptiness? How can we feel at home in our own skin and in the very circumstances of our life? How can we awaken an awareness and a heart that embraces life, dukkha and beyond? The grace of presence reveals the possibility of settling in reality and living with ease.

    Illness, death, urgency and love.

    Recorded : February 5, 2017

    Yes, the Buddha repeatedly recommended that each of us contemplate our own aging, illness and death. But what gap do you feel between an abstract contemplation and the actuality of this fragile and limited life?
