Being seen with the loving gaze of another who sees that you are perfectly in tact. Then practicing with a loved one who is suffering and whom you would like to be able to meet and love with more equanimity.

2025-01-04 Small Flame, Vast Light 33:37
Ayya Medhanandi
Guided by the Dhamma, our life path is a special one. Though surrounded by the chaos of the world, cultivating a heart of compassion and awareness, we create spiritual footprints following those of the Buddha himself. We persevere and endure that this noble Dhamma be a blessing now and for generations to come and its radiance guide beings to see and understand a way of freedom from their suffering. Small as it may appear, its light is as vast as this universe.

Working with these factors we can participate in seeing and sensing the self, others and the world in ways that are onward leading. This talk includes extracts from a practice diary working with a difficult sankhara that was shaping and coloring the perception.
