2024-08-27 I Inquiry I Losing the Trail and Finding Your Way I Flint Sparks
29/08/2024 Duração: 01h03min“Losing the Trail” ~Noah Charney. These Trees Tell a Story: The Art of Reading Landscapes. Yale University Press; New Haven and London: 2023. Pages 25-26. Following the trail is the easiest way to be lost. Sure, that trail might takes us to a preordained destination faster, but we’ll have no idea where we are when we get there. While we’re on the trail, we lose track of what’s around us and where we are in space—we are lost. We put our trust in the trail, ceding responsibility. We give up our awareness, our senses, our minds. Our interface with the landscape boils down to just two numbers: the total length of the trail and the distance we’ve traveled.

2024-08-20 I Inquiry I Losing and Finding I Flint Sparks
22/08/2024 Duração: 01h03minDharma Teachings for us today: • Suffering and dissatisfaction are woven into the fabric of life - of losing and finding/breathing in - breathing out • Freedom and beauty are equally woven into the fabric of life - of losing and finding/breathing in - breathing out • The liberating realizations of the Buddha ~ everything changes and everything is interdependent - help us understand this weaving and this fabric - which is nothing more than losing and finding/breathing in - breathing out • All of this is already being lived out in every moment whether we notice it or not. The reality of life is just this everyday living, and when we can relinquish our small, individual perspectives we are better able to offer our care in the world — losing and finding/breathing in - breathing out
