Emptying & Repairing Your Cup With Gold - Talk & Meditation

Wind is your breath. The open sky, your mind. The sun, your eye. Seas and mountains, your whole body.

In this session John invites you to sit like the ancestors of Zen and Chan practice: upright, present and with an empty cup. He begins with the classic Zen parable of the overflowing teacup and a candid story about meeting someone whose mind was already full of preconceptions. From there we explore how meditation is really for discovering the true light of your own being and help you in letting go of false identities.

John then guides a simple Zen practice to bring you a transmission of deep rest in the open space and light of self and awareness.

A beautiful meditation, John. Much appreciated. Filling the cracks and chips in my cup with gold actually made my heart swell with love. 💖
