Awareness In Action: Embodiment with Guo Gu (Part 13 – October)
Update: 2025-10-24
Description
In this talk from Upaya’s Awareness and Action series, Dr. Guo Gu, founder of the Tallahassee Chan Center, explores Embodiment and Engaged Practice—how awakening through the body becomes the ground for compassionate action in the world. “This body is what we have to work with,” he says. “It is the tool, it is this moment.” Through guided meditation and passionate teaching, Guo Gu reframes emptiness as “freshness, connection, new beginnings,” showing that when we return to embodied awareness, compassion arises naturally and action becomes effortless. Drawing on both ancient sutras and lived experience, he emphasizes that “everything is workable” when practice is rooted in presence. Grounded, humorous, and deeply practical, Guo Gu invites practitioners to rediscover the immediacy of awakening—right here, through this very body.
