“Why do it? Well, that’s a personal question. It’s not like ‘The reason you should meditate is because . . . .” It’s ‘What’s going on with you?'”
Mitra Lee Worley, senior teacher and meditation instructor of Nalandabodhi, looks at some possible inspirations one might have for taking on the practice of meditation.
In this article, Mitra Lee teaches: “Using our imagination enables us to expand our mind toward great love and great compassion, which are much more useful for bringing us into connection than are negative thinking and judgment. Kleshas, negative emotions, or depressing thoughts can really bring us down and cause despair, despondency, and disconnection. If we want to connect with ourselves and others, imagining, cultivating, and offering love and joy will be of much more benefit.”
What if everything is already perfect, and we just haven’t realized it? Please join Karunika Joshua Erickson in exploring the nine yanas of the Dzogchen Path. Hosted by Nalandabodhi Taipei, this course will follow the pith instructions from the seminal work Wild Awakening by the Dzogchen lineage holder, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche.
How do we bring what we study and practice on the cushion into the flow of our everyday actions? Hosted by Nalandabodhi Akasha, Kristina Bischoff and Christian Scott will lead a 6-session course on the Path of Mindful Activity—learning to bring the clarity of study and the depth of meditation into our daily activity with awareness and compassion.
