I don't think of enlightened as something that one heads towards or arrives at, even though there is also a paradox, at least within the practice that I've engaged with and the people I've studied with, that there is a yearning and a striving, a desire to seek enlightenment, and that yearning, I think, is a genuine aspect of our wish for spiritual fulfillment.
Ever wondered how to bring a sense of calm and clarity into your daily life? In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles chats with Christopher Keevil, an ordained Zen teacher and the founder of Garden Oak Sangha. Christopher has been immersed in Zen practice since 1991 and has been teaching since 1998.
He shares his wisdom on how to find Zen in the ordinary moments of life, offering practical advice on being present and appreciating the here and now. Chris talks about the significance of paying attention to the small details around us, like the sounds we hear and the sensations in our bodies. He believes that seeking enlightenment is a natural part of our spiritual journey and emphasizes that it's more about the process than the destination.
He also discusses the importance of standing tall in the face of life's challenges, exploring creative solutions, and letting go of the need to make choices constantly. The conversation delves into the illusion of self, the transformative power of language, and how valuing every life experience can lead to a richer, more fulfilling existence. If you're looking for ways to cultivate mindfulness and live more fully in the present, this episode is a must-listen.
