Today’s talk was inspired by another podcast I listen to, The Way Out is In. We discuss the concept of interdependence and anatta in Buddhism, looking at the five aggregates, the twelve links, and our heart practices and connections with others.

This is a talk given in response to several questions I have received recently about starting and building a meditation practice. Where do we start? What do we do? And how do we keep at it? I cover a few suggestions of mine that hopefully will support you in beginning your practice!
