Resting in the Safety of the Teacher

In this meditation, Dr. Natanya first invites us into a compassion for all beings that would be unbearable if it weren’t for our aspiration to take away the pain and suffering we bear witness to. After committing to tenderly bear all beings within our own hearts, we call upon the person who has made the teachings of our contemplative tradition come alive most effectively for us. Through a brief visualization, we imagine resting in the protection and safety of this being who knows us better than we know ourselves.

This is the second of three guided meditations from a one-day retreat Dr. Natanya led in partnership with the Contemplative Consciousness Network (CCN) entitled “Devotion as a Path to Divinisation and Buddhahood.” Below, please find the link to purchase the full set of retreat recordings through the CCN, as well as links to the other two guided meditations from this retreat.
