About aspiration and longing, being on retreat, listening to talks, meditation practice, emotions and the path. (This is the Introductory Talk for the Boundless Heart Retreat)
The talk explores how the sense of self is created through the links in dependent origination. When craving is absent, we can become aware of all our experience in a state of unentangled knowing.
Everything we cherish--love, creativity, wisdom, aliveness-- arises out of our capacity to arrive in Beingness. This talk explores the stress that leads us to cut off from our natural state of being, and two key pathways home. Included are guided meditations that explore the nature of our awareness, the essence of who we are.
