Realizing that we are an inseparable part of the vast web of life, opens our heart to a sense of deep inner connection and a life in harmony with the ways things are.
Meditation, talk and discussion on the centrality of relationship in our lives and the imperative that we relate to the eightfold path with this as the central hub from which all 8 spokes emanate.
Reflections on the Paramattakasutta (The Discourse of Eight on Ultimacy) from the Atthakavagga of the Sutta Nipata (Sn. 796-803).
This talk begins with a guided meditation, introduced by Martine Batchelor.
This talk addresses common misunderstandings about acceptance (allowing, "letting be") and explores the challenges and blessings of opening to the raw emotions that we habitually avoid.
