  • Daily Meditation Recordings, with Shireen Jilla – Week of 04 May, 2026

    This week’s theme is: Why Are We Here?

    To gain relief from mental or physical suffering, seeking enlightenment, sangha? As we practice with our teachers, insight can flood our hearts. Still we can feel untethered in daily life. We will explore what part our expectations, inspirations and intentions play. And what actually opens us to the naturalness of meeting this moment with simple, direct wisdom: the ordinarily extraordinary.

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