‘It’s not the future of humanity, but the presence of eternity’. With this in mind, we begin to understand the necessity for acceptance, in all aspects of our experience. The invitation offered through meditation is all-inclusive; no matter what we carry from our past, there is a dignity and freedom of heart that is possible for us all.
Episode Outline:
The Life Breath - Our interconnected humanity invites us to truly open to our lives, without resistance
Virtue of Heart - Nobility is not defined by the circumstances in which we find ourselves, but by the response of the heart
A Radical Invitation - The Sangha is compromised of all living beings, honored for our capacity to awaken - No one is left out
The Great Divide - We seem to exist in a highly fractured world. Meditation is an opportunity to gather the pieces, and be present for the ‘wholeness’ that we uncover
Mindfulness (All encompassing) - True mindfulness does not restrict itself to the mind, but incorporates all of the natural world in which we exist, as well as the physical response to our outer and inner environment
Spiritual Bypass (Selective Sadhana) - As we begin our practice, it’s not uncommon to place focus on methods that allow us to avoid our deeper struggles. The true work is to open to all major dimensions of ourselves, and those around us
Historic Hierarchy - History often reflects the presence and influence of men over that of women. It is crucial that we balance these energies in an effort to not limit our experience and potential. If you meet the Buddha, you meet the Goddess
Assumed Equality - Nothing is discriminated against - Our intrinsic value is not debatable
Listen to the Mystery - In quieting the mind, we allow the outer and inner to merge. With graciousness and respect, we learn to find ease in the intimacy
Respect (Don’t homogenize, harmonize) - True respect is the integration of difference: joy/sorrow, gain/loss, birth/death, masculine/feminine
Think Global, Act Local - We don’t have to travel the world over in order to work on ourselves - There is plenty to work with right where we are

Finally, I have found a teacher who can teach the core principles of Mindfulness & Buddhism with a light-hearted humour! Yet, he is so much in tune with modern life and present day humanity and it's problems, and helps us trace back to solutions from pure dhamma principles. Thank you very much for your kindness and compassion.

Thank you. Hard to express how much listening to these podcasts mean to me. I keep listening so I can learn to let go.. because it is so hard.

For whom has the pain arisen, for whom has these thoughts arisen.. I would search on KZbin: the book of the way, and I would listen to that audiobook if i were you.. The one of the 2 that is normal speed.. Its a yellow background with branches on the picture.. Its one of the most magnificent audiobook/texts of all time.. Deeper then this, very beautiful to listen to.

God, Jesus, Divine Mother, Buddha, please help me to get through this day.

[@godsgracenaka247]

And so we see that heroic struggle is not guaranteed to take us all the way to where we always already are. :-)

[@victornilsson2816]

Urge you who read this to search KZbin; The book of the way, its one of the most magnificent texts ever written.. Its a audiobook red by e very present and deep person.. Yellow background with black branches on the picture... Pick the normal speed one. Wich i think is the second one of the highest 2, you get as result when you search it.

Would like to hear something on ageing and death......and the belief that "I have to get enlightened in order to overcome the fear of death (and also the related issue of illness for that matter. Because all illness carries with it the intimation of mortality, I think.....You had a cool talk on pain (tooth pain) and how you transformed that into a kind of bliss......but beyond going to the dentist....as Sam Harris said, the purpose of these teachings is, in part, a preparation from that inevitable telephone call from the oncologist our whatever,....a call we will all get someday........the issue of ageing (you are about my age so you know what I'm talking about.....also these young whipper snappers who are awakening ....death is a long way off in their minds I think)............can the inevitability of death be used to help awaken? Some say it could (and should)... which is of course what started Siddhartha on the path to awakening ....

[@victornilsson2816]

Book of the way on KZbin audiobook.. Yellow background and branches on the video picture.. Its magnificent
