The first of the Four Establishings of Mindfulness - Mindfulness of the Body - is taught extensively in the Pali Canon. With various contemplations, the Buddha taught us to use the physical body and breathing as a vehicle for samatha (tranquillity) and vipassana (insight), all the way to complete liberation.
This talk explores the qualities of mercy and faith and the opportunities to use our "brokenness"-- our vulnerabilities and wounds-- to let the light in.
