In previous episodes we engaged in the liberating practice of looking and not finding, as we searched for something singular or independent. In this episode, Elizabeth explores the topic of permanence - the 3rd in this triad of classical Middle Way inquiries. Elizabeth drops back into her grandmother's kitchen for a tour of the nature of time, what it might mean to 'live in the moment,' and the difference between impermanence and emptiness.

OQ 404 - The Self: When Does Bread Become Toast?

How do we navigate our lives in the midst of uncertainty? How do we bring our deepest intentions together with our actions? What is the purpose of spirituality? How can we accommodate both the beauty and the pain of life?

These questions may never find a definitive answer,
but they are questions to live by.  At OQ we feel that if you have a genuine question you should explore it, continue to ask it, and then pay attention. 

I am Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel, a Buddhist student and teacher. Please join me as I share some intimate and rich dialogues with accomplished practitioners of diverse wisdom lineages.
