This week’s theme is: Bringing the Practice to Life

 

The Buddha’s teachings emphasise the whole of our lives as a rich ground for exploration and growth.  Through meditation, we cultivate skills and ways of relating that can be applied beyond formal meditation. This week we will explore bringing the practice to different areas and aspects of our lives. We will open to taste how this enlivens and rejuvenates our practice, and how it can nurture wellbeing for others and ourselves.

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nathan Glyde – Week of May 10, 2021

    This week’s theme is: Invitation to Awaken.

    The Buddha adopted a medical model to express the seminal and accessible four noble truths. We can see a diagnosis, a cause and symptoms, a cure, and a treatment.

It’s also an invitation into the depths and intricacies of the dharma.
