Meditation: The Blessings of Yes
20:31
|
|
Tara Brach

When our hearts open to the life that is here, just as it is, we discover vast loving presence. This meditation engages the smile as we scan through and awaken to our body and senses. Then we practice meeting the changing flow of life with a full allowing, wakeful and open awareness. We close with a verse from e.e. cummings.
“What happens when the heart says “Yes” to this moment? And what happens when that “Yes” goes even deeper?”

Desire and Addiction (Part 1): Voices of Longing Calling You Home

Desire is intrinsic to all living forms – the urge to exist and flourish. It turns to suffering when, due to unmet needs, it contracts, intensifies and separates us from our full aliveness and awareness. These two talks guide us in awakening from this trance, and discovering how within desire is the longing that can carry us to true belonging.

Mountains Are Mountains

Tonight we will talk about the unfolding and deepening of practice using a poem from 9th century Ch'an teacher Qingyuan Weixin:
"Before I entered the path, mountains were mountains and waters were
waters.
After I practiced for some time, mountains were no longer mountains and waters were no longer waters.
When I fully realized the Way, once again mountains were mountains and waters were waters."
