We will tour such qualities, including equanimity (upekkha), non-self (anatta), and sukha (yes, pleasure!).

Daily Meditation Recordings, with Zohar Lavie – Week of May 6, 2024
This week’s topic is “Finding Balance in the Midst of Uncertainty”. Dharma teachings support us in meeting the wholeness of our lives with interest, gentleness and creativity.
