In this episode, I'll share a live recording from a talk held at the Cape Town Kagyu Samye Dzong Buddhist centre in April 2021. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is taught that all energy that arises from the ground of existence (also called emptiness / space) manifests as the five elements, and so it's important to look at energy in general before we dive deeper into the elements themselves. The topics covered include why we meditate, getting to the root of our habits and tendencies and using the five elements to create balance. We'll go over the various laws of energy that govern the relationship between the elements. This is a beginner talk and no prior knowledge is needed before you dive in. Please visit https://capetown.kagyu.org.za/  if you'd like to learn more about the Kagyu Samye Dzong centres. Enjoy & please be in touch with me via email if you have any questions or comments.
