Published: March 1, 2020, 2:07 p.m.

As dharma students, we learn to alleviate our suffering by developing wisdom.  This is not an intellectual wisdom, but rather a wisdom that we cultivate in the body and in the heart.  In this dharma talk, given at a daylong Meditation & Yoga retreat, Peter Doobinin describes the wisdom we come to know in the body and how we learn to come to know it.

They awaken, always wide awake: Gotama’s disciples whose mindfulness, both day & night, is constantly immersed in the body. (Dhp 299)
