SECULAR DHARMA TALK
Letting go of craving: a travelogue by Jonathan Wood
The author Mark Twain is reputed to have said: ‘I’ve lived through some terrible things in my life, and some of them have actually happened’.
When it comes to our worries about the future, our inner narratives are often not based on reality, says Brisbane meditation teacher, Jonathan Wood. With regular meditation practice, we become more aware of these processes.
