Building Wisdom: Noah Levine on the Power of Community and Meditation in Buddhism

Buddhism is to be digested, it's to be experienced, it's to be embodied, and we do that through meditation.
Ever wondered why community is so crucial in Buddhist practice? In this episode of 'Against The Stream', Noah Levine sheds light on the essential role of community and meditation in Buddhism. According to Levine, the Buddha's teachings were never meant to be confined to written texts. Instead, they were designed to be shared person-to-person, through direct experience. This makes the community, or 'sangha', a cornerstone of Buddhist practice.
By coming together, discussing, and supporting one another, practitioners can truly embody the teachings and gain wisdom from direct experience. Meditation plays a vital role in this journey. It helps individuals train their minds and hearts, turning theoretical knowledge into lived wisdom. Levine emphasizes the importance of kindness and acceptance in meditation, encouraging practitioners to embrace themselves as they are and find a posture that suits them.
This episode offers valuable insights into the transformative power of Buddhist practice and the significance of community and meditation in achieving wisdom. Tune in to learn how these practices can help you cultivate kindness, acceptance, and inner peace.
