Description

This episode continues with the Buddha's first teaching and a look at what nibanna, or the cessation of craving and difficulty actually look like in our lives. I guide 3 practices to help us connect with that feeling of freedom. The final practice is a reflection practice, which can also be done as writing prompts. Here are the prompts:-What is something you really wanted as a child that you don’t want anymore?-What is a time where you got what you wanted and it made your life more complicated, created dukkha?-What is something you really wanted and when you got it, you realized it wasn’t what you wanted?-When is a time you did not act on a craving, and afterwards knew that was the right decision?-Can you think of a time, or a place, where you felt contentment, no craving for anything, even if just for a second?

A weekly podcast exploring early Buddhist teachings and how they apply to 21st century life. Kate Spina is trained to share Buddhist teachings in the Theravada lineage. IG: @towardlight108www.towardlight.netinfo@towardlight.netToward Light is committed to continuing the tradition of the Buddha by making Early Buddhist teachings accessible to all who are interested in them. We offer multiple tools to help people cultivate and maintain a meditation practice and a spiritually-oriented life. Toward Light was founded to fill a gap in Early Buddhist meditation offerings, which have often been passed down through patriarchal lineage, and do not always take feminist and 21st century perspectives into account.
