Re: [Downtown Dharma Listserve] Embodying Mindfulness: Touching the Heart of the Buddha

Describing the encounter, another well respected monk in this tradition named Thanissara said that the question was like a life raft thrown to her in choppy seas. She said it cut to the quick.This week we will use Ajahn Chah's question as a starting...
