We arrive in presence through the gateway of the body, scanning through with awareness, and then resting with the breath and body sensations. As we include whatever arises with a gentle and kind attention, our inner refuge becomes increasingly stable and openhearted. This meditation ends with a brief lovingkindness prayer.
How can we better understand the essential role of wholesome desire in our Dharma practice? The strength and steadiness of determination depends on discovering and cultivating a wise and resonant desire for awakening. Wholesome desire and resolve evolves and matures over the years of practice and becomes a powerful guide and protection as we navigate the twists and turns of life.
