Sophie Boyer

We’re fortunate that Sophie Boyer has generously offered to lead our daily meditation sessions for Europe and the UK. To find out more about Sophie, and to view her other contributions to Sangha Live, click here. Recordings will be posted by the end of the day of the live session.

 

Please note that, due to a technical issue, the video and audio in the Monday – Thursday recordings are not synced with each other. Unfortunately this cannot be corrected. You may prefer to listen to the sessions without watching the screen if this is distracting 😊.

 

This week’s topic is “Trust the Process“.

 

There is a natural space that is always available to us. A space before thoughts, before duality.

 

Every day there will be an opportunity to come back to this primary experience that is safe and complete. A space before the beginning.

 

This week let’s trust the process together.

    We are delighted that Yahel Avigur is leading our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May these sessions support and enrich your practice.

    This week’s theme is: Equanimity: An Unshakable Heart

    Equanimity is the unshakability of the heart in the face of all conditions and experiences. It embodies depth and spaciousness, fearlessness, responsiveness and natural compassion, rooted in virtue and insight. It is a natural capacity of the human heart, a home that is always there for us to return to. In this week of practice, we will nurture the conditions that allow equanimity to arise and mature. Supported by practice, community, and teachings from the Buddhist tradition, we will meditate to cultivate kindness and insight.

    Genuine Happiness: An Alternative Perspective

    Recorded : July 14, 2019

    So much of what we hear and learn about within Dharma practice places an arguably unnecessary emphasis on suffering (dukkha). While the acceptance of suffering (dukkha) is an important and essential aspect of the path, it is by no means the end of the story. In one of the Buddha’s oldest descriptions of what it…
