A Gift of Liberation 23: Protection from Life and Death (2016, Arizona) Selected Meditations

Protection from Life (and Death) is a profound teaching which leads the practitioner through a progressive journey of recognizing how everything that we experience arises from seeds in the mind. Through contemplations on death, dissolution, refuge, rebirth, karma, and the presence of the teacher, we learn to see even the most intense inner experiences with clarity and potential. Along the way, compassion deepens naturally as we witness the suffering of beings in different realms and the immense potential within ourselves to transform those conditions. Together, these meditations train the practitioner to recognize the mind’s power, to cultivate joy as the basis for insight, and to move toward the identity of someone who can help countless beings.
