6/26/2025 “Listening to the Cries of the World” with Rich Howard
Audio DharmaIt seems that the volume has been turned up in so many areas of modern life: political rhetoric, forceful opinions, horrific wars, …. Listening to an inner voice becomes harder, and listening to others nearly impossible. Yet sustaining and developing our practice of mindful awareness requires listening to our heart’s subtle whispers, and applying that practice in the world requires listening to the cries of the world to find where compassion is needed most. In addition, our relationships require a deep listening to spoken and silent expressions of connection. We will explore the inner and outer practices of listening and look for applications in our meditation practice and our daily life.
