Talk: The Refuge of Calm

July 1, 2020

In this Wednesday Night Meditation, unfortunately, the meditation was not recorded (we’ll fix this next time), but we did record my talk about The Refuge of Calm, which was inspired by this quote:

“Calm is one’s thought, calm one’s speech,
and calm one’s deed, who, truly knowing,
is wholly freed, perfectly tranquil and wise.”

~ Dhammapada 7.96

I hope you find it helpful, and you are welcome to join my free Wednesday Meditations – open to everyone!

Make an Offering

These teachings are offered freely, at no charge.

And if you like, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself – called “dāna” – to support Rick and the Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of “self,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps, eventually, even oneself.
