Daily Meditation Recordings, with Zohar Lavie – Week of January 22, 2024

Zohar Lavie

Zohar Lavie

We’re fortunate that Zohar Lavie has generously offered to lead our daily meditation sessions this week. To find out more about Zohar, 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.

 

This week’s topic is “Liberating Care: A Path of Kindness, Compassion and Well-being”

 

The Buddha recommended radiating goodwill to all beings. This requires us to deepen our connection and sensitively empathise with everyone. Which immediately invites well-being to our whole being. When a well-nourished heart encounters suffering, compassion blossoms. And this journey of awakening begins to liberate pain, born of separation, into interwoven joy.
