We all suffer—it’s an unavoidable part of life. While we can practice in ways that may reduce our suffering, we will all face grievous losses and challenges, and it’s natural to distract ourselves in any number of ways.

In this talk, guest teacher Henry Shukman shares how the practice of being quiet and still can bring us to something deeper in our nature — an unconditional love and a boundless belonging that is always present as long as we are alive.
