I’m just putting this out there… I stopped painting and listening here and went to find Chopin Rain … so I’ve listened to it four times and it’s soothing and healing and profound… I’d love a James playlist because it’s as if another road into the dharma ❤️… thank you James 🤲🏼❤️🙏🏼

James gave teachings on the various sections of his book, Finding Freedom, during these Finding Freedom weekends. simplybeing.co.uk/book/books/books-in-print/finding-freedom/ This book offers three approaches to awakening. The first section, Fighting the Good Fight, is concerned with how we can commit ourselves to the mindful activity of renouncing our familiar and often comforting limiting habits. Here the orientation is towards leaving our familiar ego-home and going on a journey to seek something which seems only to be available elsewhere. The second section of the book, Mistaken Identities, points to how we can develop the honesty and courage to face our lives as they manifest, resolving our limiting habits and releasing ourselves from misleading identities. Here the orientation is towards recognising how our self-centredness has harmed others and made us blind to our interdependency. The third section of Finding Freedom, Sweet Simplicity, is concerned with how we can relax and release ourselves from all limiting habits and thus effortlessly abide in our limitless intrinsic freedom. Here the orientation is towards awakening to the actuality of our mind as it is. Finding Freedom contains The Dhammapada by Buddha Shakyamuni, the Sharp Weapon Wheel by Dharmarakshita, and four Dzogchen texts by Tulku Tsulo, Gonpo Wangyal, Ayu Khandro and Rigdzin Godem’s terma prayer, the Kunzang Monlam,
