Bodhipaksa: Starting Where We Are - Sounds True Producer's Pick

Bodhipaksa is the Buddhist author and teacher behind Wildmind Buddhist Meditation, one of the premier independent Buddhist sites on the internet. He is also an author at Sounds True (Living as a River). In this week's Weekly Wisdom column, we get to hear some of Tami Simon's conversation with Bodhipaksa on the topic of Starting Where We Are.

Bodhipaksa: Starting Where We Are



Mitchell Clute, a producer at Sounds True, chose this week’s Producer’s Pick from the audio program Still the Mind with Scottish-born Buddhist teacher and author Bodhipaksa. In this selection, “Starting Where We Are,” Bodhipaksa helps us touch into a deeper sense of spacious awareness, identifying some of the stumbling blocks to beginning our meditation practice and sharing techniques for finding stillness and calm beneath the static in our minds. Mitchell loves Bodhipaksa’s down-to-earth approach to meditation practice—as well as the lovely cadence of Bodhipaksa’s voice.
