"The Mule Got Drunk and Lost in Heaven"

Here is the recording of the first class in Cayce Howe's Foundations in Buddhism course. Recorded at Sacred Roots Holistic Healing Center in Long Beach.  

Just noticing what is as it is. 

The first 30 minutes of this talk is a guided meditation from David Le followed by a continuing discussion on freedom of mindfulness. Enjoy and be well. 

We are graced this week with two wonderful guest speakers and a rich conversation on the nature of caring.  We  explore the natural essence of care—being present rather than absent, awake rather than drifting, and deeply attentive with both mind and heart to ourselves, others, and the world, drawing on insights from ancient teachings and modern science.

The first part of this talk is a guided meditation by teacher David Le followed by a group dharma talk continuing on the topic of mindfulness from David's previous talk on here. Enjoy and be well.
