Why Can't These 3 People Think Straight Around This Man?

Join Vishrant’s Online Retreat June 13th - 16th http://vishrant.org/retreats What happens when the mind begins to unravel? In this intimate Satsang, three seekers describe a strange but beautiful experience: less thinking, more openness, spontaneous laughter, and a feeling of coming home. Vishrant explores the nature of the Buddha field, why openness allows us to perceive love, and how awakening begins when we stop defending ourselves against life. This conversation touches on awareness, surrender, karma, meditation, spiritual teachers, beginner's mind, and the simple art of staying open.
