Letting Be: Relaxing into Natural Wisdom - Hosho Don Koehler

Letting Be: Relaxing into Natural Wisdom - Hosho Don Koehler - January 24th, 2026 - WPP26 A Dharma talk exploring “Awakening Through Love” based on Chapter 2 of John Makransky’s work. Hosho Don Koehler reflects on innate wisdom beyond self-grasping, drawing from Dzogchen and contemporary psychology to show how relaxation, receiving love, and letting be reveal our natural compassion and clarity. The talk bridges non-dual awareness with heart practices, offering a gentle path of recognition rather than striving, and prepares listeners for a guided meditation on releasing the grasping self and resting in pure awareness. Our mission is to foster a diverse, inclusive community, dedicated to awakening through Buddhist teachings promoting personal and interpersonal healing with ethical compassionate action. https://www.shiningbrightlotus.org/
