The Buddha frequently urged his followers to contemplate daily the five Remembrances that he practiced in preparation for his ultimate awakening. The first three may be familiar–but the last two are so radical that they have the power to startle us into attention no matter how long we have been practicing.
Sonia guided our investigation this week of these remembrances as laid out in the Upajjhatthana Sutta. What do they ask of us? And how can they move us to meet each day as a doorway to life authentically lived?
Sonia played a talk by Narayan Helen Liebenson called “Reflections of the five recollections”, which you can hear at this link: https://dharmaseed.org/talks/player/70562.html
