This talk traces the story of the Buddha's awakening, and reflects on four key archetypal elements that are relevant for each of us as we come home to our true nature. There is a particular emphasis on how these elements enable us to encounter challenges in relationships and find our way to openhearted presence.
Includes music honoring the launch of Tara's new book, True Refuge: vocal by La Sarmiento and Guru Ganesha with his Kirtan band.
The hindrances arise naturally within our practice. Developing mindfulness while the hindrances are present both brings in wisdom and transforms the underlying conditions.
Letting go of: All the wishing for more, for less, for anything else, the whining and defining, the needing and the resisting. Just this simple quiet opening. Aaahh!
