dharma talk



I've been looking more into meditation and Buddhism in the Happy Valley lately, and I've found a bunch of great resources and new friends at Hampshire College! They have daily meditation sessions and I recently learned that there are even Tibetan monks living on their campus, learning about American culture. Supah cool. Anyways, my friend Derek hosts dharma talks every Friday night, where a bunch of people sit in a circle listening to a podcast by some Buddhist thinker--it usually is about an hour long. I really enjoyed the messages of the talk this past Friday, so I'm going to share it with you.

I know it can be difficult to find a whole hour out of your time to listen to something like this, but if it interests you, I highly suggest just sitting down, closing your eyes and digesting the words. Jack Kornfield, the speaker, walks the listener through highly accessible Buddhist teachings about healing in the body, the feelings, the mind, and the soul. Listen to the talk here.

I hope you have had a relaxing and peaceful weekend! A tune to keep your head boppin' and your mouth smilin' for the week ahead:
