Reflection and guided meditation. Suffusing the six directions with kindness and compassion.

Reflections on the Luminous Heart that we lose touch with when we're confused by what moves through the heart. Contemplation of change, anicca, and the image of guest/dust which helped the first disciple of the Buddha to have an Awakening.

Recognizing causes of collective dislocation. Naming colonial devastation. Way of the tender heart.

Exploring gratitude as a gateway to joy.

Practice reveals the Spontaneous Heart of Reality inherent in each human being. Becoming intimately aware of each moment of experience reveals the phantasmagorical reality available here and now. Know reveals not knowing. The Universal is revealed through the Personal. As the hardening of Heart relaxes the Dharma displays itself.

Upekkha is the wisdom of the heart. It reveals a balanced, equipoise of heart and mind that is woven with love, compassion and joy. Often confused with detachment equanimity is a heart/mind resting in the wisdom of reality and awareness. It is the balance of heart/mind rooted in insight.

Awakening to the constellations of racial suffering in sangha and in the world and offering tenderness and contemplative artistry to what hurts.
