Opening Your Heart: Self-Acceptance and Non-Separation
“Opening Your Heart” is one of Domyo’s Ten Fields of Zen Practice. Working explicitly to open your heart not only benefits other living beings, it puts you in accord with the Dharma and supports all other aspects of your practice. Ultimately, self and other are not separate; in practice, you seek to manifest and realize this simultaneously.
This class will include guided meditations for each of the Brahmaviharas.
