Ordained Taoist David James Lees shares his spiritual 'Wu Wei Wisdom' on the ‘Tao’ or ‘Way’ of the Cosmos and its fundamental relationship and interaction with all our lives.

Your Cosmic Connection And Spiritual Contract by David James Lees

Using a text that is very close to her heart: the Buddhist classic known as The Way of the Bodhisattva, Pema Chodron shows us how to cultivate compassion. She focuses on the enlightened heart and mind, showing us how this awakened state, which often seems infinitely far out of our grasp, is always available to us right where we are. By nurturing a compassionate attitude in our hearts, we can naturally become more open and present to others and free in our lives, even amidst life’s adversities and fears. And little by little we can become empowered to reach out beyond ourselves and heal the abundant suffering of the world.

Giving Our Best - Practicing the Way of the Bodhisattva with Pema Chödrōn-Preview 1

In this recorded retreat, Pema Chödrön shares teachings inspired by the book Smile at Fear, which was written by her teacher Chogyam Trungpa. We all have fears, but when we look closely at them, we discover that behind each fear resides a basic fear of ourselves. We're afraid to look at our habitual styles of thinking and behaving because we might not always like what we see. Ironically it is this fear of honest self-reflection that keeps us trapped in patterns of stress and discontentment. Here is a vision for moving beyond this most basic fear to discover the innate bravery, trust, and joy that reside at the core of our being.
