12/30/2012 – Renewal and the root of meditative practice

Margaret led our reflections, using part of a talk by Rodney Smith titled “Mirroring Meditation”

along with a reading by Guy Armstrong of the Lump of Foam Sutta

Both stressed the possibilities of seeing, in meditation, the relative insubstantiality of our experience – and with that, the freedom to shape our experience in the direction of freedom.
