Description
"Yet it is just within this fathom-long body, endowed with perception and cognition, that I declare that there is the world, the origination of the world, the cessation of the world, and the path of practice leading to the cessation of the world.” In this quote from the Rohitassa sutta the Buddha addresses the knowing body. All that we know and experience is in this body. So embodied practice is not the practice of cognitive understanding (though this is important) but rather a result of our direct experience. Embodied practice is when our actions are a result of heartfelt wisdom. Where the rubber meets the road.Doug and Jon discuss what is meant by embodiment and how do we know when we know.Support the show
