Meditation: The "Do No Harm and Take No S***" Practice, by Guest Elizabeth Lesser (2020-11-18)

from Tara Brach · host Tara Brach

Meditation: The "Do No Harm and Take No S***" Practice, by Guest Elizabeth Lesser (2020-11-18) - This practice - based on an ancient Buddhist meditation - bears the name of needlepoint I found in my sister's office after she died. She was a nurse, and as such had taken the oath all medical practitioners take: to do no harm. She added the next line, "take no s***," because as we all know life requires us to be both kindly and strong. The following meditation is a training in both, because being kind and being strong are not mutually exclusive. Doing no harm and taking no s*** is not an either/or choice. It's the marriage of the two that will make a difference in your life and will change the story in the world. This meditation was recorded on Zoom during Tara's live-stream on 2020-11-18, and was followed by a conversation between Tara and Elizabeth.
