Childlike Wonder
Listen now
Description
Jampal Norbu examines the 6th verse of Lojong: IN POST MEDITATION, BE A CHILD OF ILLUSION. In this context, “childlike” refers to a sense of wonder rather than immaturity. Meditation practice can dissolve narrow views into an uncontrived openness. The state of open awareness is sometimes called “beginner’s mind” and is referenced throughout eastern philosophy and artwork. The more our experience in-meditation stabilizes, the more our post-meditation life is transformed. Theme music by Matt Quentin
