Three Refuges and our Searching
The guided meditation was based on the Three Refuges of the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Each Refuge following the breath, reminding us of these wonderful jewels.
The reading was from ‘Everyday Zen’. Charlotte Beck explored our searching and how we need to experience the unease that drives us to look. It is not the search that matters. This is the sign that can point the way to our direct experience of life, often fearful, which drives our attention away from where it needs to be, right here within us.
Bamboo pierces the air, yet the Buddha is still. Clay jar cracks open.
