When the Trees Wither and the Leaves Fall, Ayya Medhanandi

Sometimes we feel torn apart by life and unable to cope. Healing may be slow to come but our meditation practice can enhance that process. If we contemplate the fearsome winds of life in such a way that we deeply understand their impermanent nature, we will also understand that they are unsatisfactory and empty of any 'self'. That will be the dawning of the heart's true peace. A talk given at a joint Theravada Buddhist Community / Satipaññā Insight Meditation Toronto event in 2018.
