Desire and Addiction (Part 2 of 3): Voices of Longing Calling You Home

Tara Brach
|
|
|
As part of the collective response to the Coronavirus—taking care of each other—Tara has cancelled her live class and recorded this from her 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.

Is it possible that the obstructions we meet are our fiercest teachers? We encounter the places where construction is no longer possible. It’s the last place we want to go, but if we can cultivate skillful means to linger there, we can taste nibbāna in this very life.
