Tending to the Fields of Experience
from Wild Heart Meditation Center · host Andrew Chapman
The process of awakening is likened to tending to a field for harvest. The growth and deepening of wisdom develops as we learn to: 1. Survey the land, 2. Plan & Prepare the field, 3. Plant the seeds, 4. Tend to the crop, and 5. Pick the fruit. The Buddhist path of practice invites us to take a seat in the middle of several fields of experience, amidst the intersection of our internal & external lives. The Buddha offered a holistic map in which we can navigate and tend to our fields of experience with greater clarity, empathy, and wisdom: complete view, wise intention, wise speech, action, and livelihood, and wise effort, mindfulness, & concentration Wild Heart Meditation Center in a non-profit Buddhist community based in Nashville, TN. https://www.wildheartmeditationcenter.orgDONATE: If you feel moved to support WHMC financially please visit:https://www.wildheartmeditationcenter.org/donateFollow Us on Socials!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WildHeartNashville/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildheartnashville/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wildheartmeditation
