Guided by Don, this week we explored the sublime as it appears in our everyday life.
A talk by Stephen Batchelor was at the center of our exploration, taking us through and beyond particular meditative techniques to something much more accessible: the deep appreciation of life in its best present moment. The reality of death puts day-to-day being into focus.
We don’t need to wallow in speculation about heaven, hell, past/future lifetimes etc. The good stuff is all contained in the present moment. We can cultivate a wholesome state of mind. The rest is way beyond our control.
