Listening for the Silence Beneath Everything
17:03
This short guided meditation with Gregory Kramer invites participants into a spacious silence that supports awareness, curiosity, and presence. The meditation gently encourages letting go of habitual practices and idea to rest in simple awareness. Notice the hum of existence—the subtle energy of body and mind—and how beneath even agitation, words, or thought, there is always silence. The invitation is to listen deeply, beyond noise, toward the ever-present stillness beneath.

Walking the Buddha's Path: Taking Refuge in a Human Teacher
34:51
Offered May 23, 2024
Gregory Kramer invites the Insight Dialogue Community to celebrate Vesak together. Vesak day is a celebration and recognition of the Buddha’s birth, awakening and death. It usually occurs on the first full moon of May. A common intention set on this day is a recommitment to Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha. This is a day to remember the Buddha's legacy and celebrate our potential for progress on the path to liberation, just as Gotama did before his awakening.
In this talk, Gregory offers the following contemplations:
Do you sense your own humanity? your own potential our own vulnerability?
Does your own humanity connect you to the Buddha? and inspire you?
