Gateways of Remembrance: The Three Refuges
2016-01-06 Gateways of Remembrance: The Three Refuges 1:17:40
Tara Brach
This talk explores the traditional refuges of awareness (buddha nature), truth (dharma) and love (sangha) that are at the heart of Buddhism, and found in many spiritual and religious traditions. It includes a look at our false refuges - strategies that seek to comfort and gratify, but are temporary fixes - and moves into reflections that help us remember, trust and live from our true nature. (Concludes with a ceremony tying red cords in remembrance of the refuges.)

This meditation invites the shift from thinking into open awareness. Our practice is to awaken the senses - feeling aliveness, listening to sound - and then rest as the awareness that wakefully receives moment to moment experience.
