Now online, the weekly group is going strong, bringing together people from around the world to meditate and hear the Dharma from Jack and the Spirit Rock teachers. Here you can watch Jack’s recent Monday night talks and meditations, and join upcoming Monday night gatherings here.
Listening with the Heart
July 19, 2021
We are each other's bond. We are each other's community. We are each other's family. What we most want, perhaps, is to be listened to in the deepest way, to be met with the heart.
When we learn to rest in awareness, there’s both caring and silence. There is listening for what’s the next thing to do and awareness of all that’s happening, a big space and a connected feeling of love. When there is enough space, our whole being can both comprehend the situation and be at ease. We see the dance of life, we dance beautifully, yet we’re not caught in it.
