To Always Carry Light & Silence [EP 20]
Update: 2025-08-04
Description
Today, Roshi Allison Atwill shares a poem about our intrinsic ability to always carry light and silence.
In this episode, she explains how the original silence is always with us and within us.
What are the elemental termas of Tibetan Buddhism?
How can we apply these termas to meditation practice?
We can learn and teach from the silence and the light that we each have within.
"Awakening always appears in our actual life." - Allison Atwill.
