What is the Ultimate Truth?

The world of mind-body, mindfulness, meditation and well-being maximises priority on conventional or relative truth. This requires wise attention and change relative to our experience.

We are familiar with taking up views, remaining neutral with views or holding onto views. We might call these views relative or absolute.

Can we discover (ultimate) truth not bound to perception, not bound to mystery, not bound in any way at all?

This question lies at the heart of the deepest exploration.

Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nirmala Werner – Week of 06 April, 2026

This week’s theme is: The Spiral Path

Practice often unfolds in spirals rather than straight lines. The path includes phases of clarity and confusion, opening and contraction. Again and again it turns and circles back. This week, we will explore how trust in the path can grow through these cycles, as we keep returning to awareness, patience, and the unfolding of the Dharma.
