Daily Meditation Recordings, with Zohar Lavie – Week of December 12, 2022

Zohar Lavie

Zohar Lavie

This week’s topic is “Interwoven and Free”

 

The Buddha invited us to investigate our experience moment by moment. One of the key things we uncover as we do this is that separation is an illusion, and that we are deeply interwoven and interconnected with all beings and all things. This week we will disentangle the habitual knots of isolation and ignorance and open to the freedom available as we open our exploration of inter-being.

 

“Love tells me I’m everything. Wisdom tells me I’m everything else.” -Nisagadatta Maharaj, translated by Stephen Levine

    Loving Awareness: Finding Freedom Within

    Recorded : February 26, 2023

    “This thing person called “me”, the one who is sensing, thinking and perceiving right now….who or what is it? This is an age old question that the traditions of the East, especially Buddhism and Hinduism, have held as the heart of their traditions. The answer to that question, in some scriptures, is “awareness”, a part of us that is already wakeful, attentive, open, free and loving. In this Sunday teaching, we consider what it means to encounter awareness, and why it might be important, not only for our practice of meditation, but for the fulfilment of our life’s purpose.

    Vast View, Fine Attention

    Recorded : December 16, 2018

    Opening to the Joy of Interconnection

    Recorded : July 4, 2021

    A deeply conditioned habit of the human mind is to experience ourselves as independent and distinct from others and the world that we share. At the heart of Dharma teachings is the invitation to question, inquire into and transform this conditioning of separation, opening us to the joy and possibility of mutuality and interconnectedness. During…
