On April 12 and 13, 2024, Lama Rod Owens was a guest at Akazienzendo. The venue was the Lotos Vihara in Berlin. Under the title "Healing Broken Hearts and Walking the Bodhisattva Path", he first gave an evening lecture and on the following day a practice-oriented workshop, excerpts of which we provide here. Upon his visit to Akazienzendo, Lama Rod Owens explored the meaning of liberatory practice. Remembrance, beauty, opulence, and love are key ingredients to the struggle for freedom that does not resolve suffering, but that gives the space to respond to it. Practice therefore is about creating and holding the space to give a shit. Lama Rod shares his personal history with Buddhist practice, the painful and revelatory initial experiences of meditation and the disruption of a three-year retreat that would bring profound transformation.
