Mountains Are Mountains
41:06
|
|
Pamela Weiss

Tonight we will talk about the unfolding and deepening of practice using a poem from 9th century Ch'an teacher Qingyuan Weixin:
"Before I entered the path, mountains were mountains and waters were
waters.
After I practiced for some time, mountains were no longer mountains and waters were no longer waters.
When I fully realized the Way, once again mountains were mountains and waters were waters."

Desire and Addiction (Part 2): Voices of Longing Calling You Home
46:19
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
Desire is intrinsic to all living forms – the urge to exist and flourish. It turns to suffering when, due to unmet needs, it contracts, intensifies and separates us from our full aliveness and awareness. These two talks guide us in awakening from this trance, and discovering how within desire is the longing that can carry us to true belonging.

Meditation: Entrusting Yourself to the Waves
25:59
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
By not resisting, by letting the waves wash through us, we begin to relax. Rather than fighting the stormy surges, we rest in an ocean of awareness that embraces all the moving waves. We arrive in a sanctuary that feels large enough to hold whatever is going on.

Basic Trust – Part 1
57:39
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
One of the expressions of an awakened heart-mind is a basic trust in reality. These talks explore the severed belonging that gives rise to mistrust, and two primary pathways to realizing and trusting the indivisible field of loving awareness that is our source (a favorite from the archives).
“To love without holding back – to really sense with the wisdom, the reality, that it’s right here – to live from wholeness. We have this capacity.”
“Who would you be if you trusted the basic goodness and beauty is living through you? How would your life be different if you trusted that spirit, love, awareness is what you are?”
