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

    Dharma, Desire and Eros

    Recorded : May 9, 2021

    Eros is life force, the energy that animates our being. Eros fills our spiritual life with vitality, our minds with creativity, our ideas with embodiment and our relating with rich intimacy. To live full lives we need access to eros; without it we become dry, rigid, flacid and withholding. Yet what place does it have…

    When did you stop breathing?

    Recorded : June 4, 2017

He was aware of the whole experience of breathing. Through breathing he trained the mind…
