A Meditation on "Just This" - Presence, Stillness, and Quiet with Henry Shukman
We all experience grievous losses and challenges, and it’s natural to distract ourselves in any number of ways. However, the act of being quiet and still is a courageous response to suffering. It’s a way to face the realities of our lives and expose ourselves to the raw existential situation.
Join guest teacher Henry Shukman for a guided meditation on "Just This" - exploring intimacy with a sense of presence here and now, through stillness and quiet.

Gathering and Dispersing: The Two Great Movements of the Heart - Talk with Rick Hanson

Gathering and dispersing are two concepts that are essential to our daily lives. Gathering refers to the act of focusing on particular things, while dispersing refers to the act of opening up and widening our view to take more into account. Both concepts are necessary for a balanced life, but in our modern society, the element of gathering is often overemphasized. This can lead to a contracted,...

    A wonderful talk. I love this liberating topic. For some reason, I can't get the chat to reply, so I can't see the quotation from Thay which you shared (but didn't read out loud). If it's not too much trouble, can you add it here? If not, never mind :-) Thank you, I always appreciate your dharma talks and they really help me.

    What a gently powerful meditation this is -- thank you. I tuned in with a bit of a barrier as my days of active leadership -- in the conventonal sense -- are behind me: that scepticism saved by my curiosity. Listening rewarded me! So, gratefully, I now continue to find the gradual process you guide us through here re-centres me expansively deep within. I will be returning to this restorative practice ready to reconnect and reclaim its palpable benefits. Thanks a tonne, Dr. D. ... 💖 (onward to the related talk ... )
