SELF COMPASSION PRACTICE


June 21, 2022

Here is a recording from our Online Sangha’s Saturday Morning Healing and Compassion Practice from Saturday June 18, 2022, led by my assistant, Janet.

Fundamentally you are worthwhile just because you exist. Not because you’ve done anything. You. Just being. Just being the way you are is beautiful. How do we feel that, not just think it, but feel it in our whole body? In a way that we can know it, and trust it deeply?
What might be possible if each one of us was modeling this, feeling it, trusting it? What would be different? In our own lives, in the world?
Let’s practice together! You might begin with 5-10 minutes of mindfulness and awareness practice and end in the same way (note that there are several minutes of silence at the end of the recording as the sangha sits in this way together).

  • About Me

    Nick has devoted his life to practice and learning in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition for the last 30 years. As a teacher he is inspired to create learning environments in which everyone feels empowered in their own journey, what he refers to as a “learner centric” approach.
    He is synthesizing western and eastern psychology and spiritual practice,
    in what he refers to as a “cultural translation” of Buddhism into our modern context.
    With an emphasis on Nature as our teacher, and the idea that sangha or community, is about our mutual care and devotion to each others’ true natures and potential, hierarchy as an arbitrary force is diminished, and the power of open minded curiosity and learning is increased.
    Nick also is focusing on innovation and creativity as expressions of true dharma, as opposed to stubborn traditionalism, so that the living dharma is discovered right within each of our own stories , lives and daily situations.
