| The Buddha's teachings are essentially pointing to the emptiness at the heart of all experience. Insight meditation cultivates the pathway for this voyage of discovery. Through the simple and direct meeting of each moment with wakefulness, sensitivity and curiosity, we open ourselves to profound transformation. With courage and care we can learn to empty the heart - releasing our entanglement in the emotional dynamics of personal history, while still honouring our unique journey and individuality. Realising the emptiness of all things facilitates the settling, the healing and the awakening of our human heart, and recognising their interconnected nature calls for our compassionate engagement with the world. |
