This guided meditation in renunciation of expectations, grudges, and judgement toward the benefactor/friend, toward the past, future and present, towards ourselves and the larger society is inspired by Pascal Auclair, who was inspired in this by Ajahn Succito.
This guided meditation explores renunciation through simple, everyday acts of letting go within meditation practice. By gently returning to the body, releasing judgment and striving, and tuning into quiet ease and pleasantness, the practice reveals renunciation as a compassionate movement toward simplicity, steadiness, and peace.
This talk explores wise intention and the ways that kindness and renunciation support each other in freeing the heart and mind in our every day actions. It offers examples from retreat practice, daily life, and collective social justice actions.
Dharma Talk: Stillness helps us to see patterns of the mind and heart so that we can work wisely with them. This talk explores how to meet unpleasant, pleasant, and neither strongly unpleasant or pleasant experiences with wisdom with the intention to support peace.
Morning Instruction and meditation: Seclusion, meditation and stillness are not about stopping thinking. These three help us to develop a wise relationship with thinking, which leads to peace. Please note, this instruction and guided meditation begins at 27:34, after an intro, refuges, and precepts.
