Practicing Self-compassion in daily life with a guided meditation.

Self-Kindness is necessary if you want to open to others. The biggest obstacles to Bodhicitta is the harsh voice in your head.

Dwelling deep within our heart, and within the hearts of all beings without exception, is an inexhaustible source of love and wisdom. And the ultimate purpose of all spiritual practices, whether they are called Buddhist or not, is to uncover and make contact with this essentially pure nature. - Lama Yeshe

When we have discovered our own inner purity, inner compassion, and inner love, we can then see the reflection of this purity and loving-kindness in others. But if we have not contacted these qualities within ourselves, we will see everyone as ugly and limited. For whatever we see every day in outer reality is actually nothing more than a projection of our own inner reality. - Lama Yeshe

The backward step into awareness, shifting from the foreground to presence.

Making contact with that which is bigger than you is a safe refuge.

During the retreat, Stephan Pende gives an introduction to flexible awareness. Then he guides a meditation on being with physical and emotional discomfort in meditation using flexible awareness.
