Samadhi Is Pure Enjoyment

Samadhi, a Pali word, means meditative absorption or a state of concentration. This talk is an exploration of samadhi as the art of refined enjoyment. Approaching our meditation with receptivity, we carefully collect our attention for the full enjoyment of the present moment. This kind of attention is enjoyable and light, balanced and at ease.

Seeing In A New Way

Sylvia Boorstein

Vipassana means seeing things clearly. When we are overwhelmed, our view can become inhibited. Like a miracle, seeing from a different view allows us to see and do in a different way. All we need is one moment of clarity to feel freedom, and all else passes. Meditation is one revelation after another, leading one to see with more kindness and compassion for the benefit of all beings.
