From the perspective of inner rebellion and personal freedom, we need to form communities that include spiritual revolutionaries of both more and less wisdom and compassion than ourselves.

Since the freedom we seek is a relational freedom, freedom from suffering that is not dependent on isolation or silent meditation experiences, community allows us to put into practice wisdom and compassion toward all beings—even the annoying members of the revolution.

This 30-minute Buddhist guided meditation is based on 'Against The Stream: A Buddhist Manual for Spiritual Revolutionaries'.

We’re making all of 'Against The Stream' available for free on our blog (one piece at a time). Link in episode notes.
