Heard Joseph Goldstein quote a section of this wonderful text from the 19th C 'vagabond saint' Patrul Rinpoche He doesn't pull any punches in his advice to himself! https://www.lotsawahouse.org/tibetan-masters/patrul-rinpoche/advice-from-me-to-myself

"Clarity, or natural awareness, is so much a part of everyday experience that it’s hard to recognize. It’s like trying to see your eyelashes without using a mirror. So how do you go about recognizing it? According to the Buddha, you meditate – though not necessarily in the way most people understand it. The kind of meditation involved here is a type of “non-meditation.” There’s no need to focus on or visualize anything."

Hi, I couldn't make yesterdays session, was there a recording at all? Thanks

Hello Everyone, I think if I'm honest I've been putting off introducing myself...anxiety and all that but from reading many of your posts it feel like a safe space. Which I really appreciate....I have a job interview coming up this Friday so I will checking out 'what works' with anxiety. Hope to see, interact and be with you at some point soon. Kirsty

So here I am!

Wow! Alastair, did you see that the new Anne Cleeves book ( Re the detective Vera ) is set on Holy Island ! Here in Australia she was interviewed( ABC tv) and gave a bit of the history of Holy Island. She is here for a major writers festival.

I couldn’t make the live session today. Does anyone know if it was recorded? Thanks Jane

Hi- when I receive the email for booking there is no link on it for the zoom. A few weeks ago there was.
