Psychology of stillness and wholeness part 1
Hogen Bays

Access to Lectures | Speaker

To truly hear we must be silent. To see the patterns of the mind and heart we must be still. Behind everything we perceive and know is a Great Silence. When we touch this background silence all that we perceive in the foreground becomes bright and clear. When we know the vibrant core of silence and stillness in our own minds it frees us from selfish clinging, and allows us to act compassionately in accord with circumstances. Using the tools of meditation and insight we will explore the Boundless Mind of Oneness and its rapport with the personal mind concerned with relationship.

This segment was recorded at the AABCAP 3rd Annual Conference – August 2009: "Compassion For a World In Crisis".
