- Reigniting our Practice David Oromith · 28 minutes · recorded January 26, 2025
The meditation follows the Buddha's instructions to Bahiya: in the seen let there be only the seen, in the heard only the heard, as we rest in bare awareness of body, sight, sound and thought without elaboration. David talks about Marcus Aurelius' reminder that our principles are never extinguished, only buried, and that we can reignite them at any moment. He offers a journal prompt for what small change would bring us closer to our values, and the water pot filled drop by drop.
