Grateful For My Teacher (45 min)




Happy Mind: Meditations from the Ancient World to Modernity show

Summary: With the very best teachers, just being around them feels good. And even reading a true master’s words, when those words are truly understood (or, to use the words of the Diamond Sutra, are “received and retained”) will put you in the frequency of happiness and love. But 'receiving and retaining' a master’s teaching isn’t a straightforward exercise. Which is part of why this podcast exists: to help you receive and retain and understand and experience the teaching of the illuminated ones of bygone eras. And one of the gateways we can use to “receive and retain” their teachings is the magic potion called gratitude. We all have teachers. Some are ancient masters who have long been dead. Some are with us today. Some we know well, some we’ve never met. Some don’t even know they are our teachers (any parent of a small child or a teenager can attest to that!). Our teachers hold a special place in our development as people and on our path to self-mastery. So today we are going to thank them. And because of gratitude’s special power, we will be able to use this meditation to activate their teaching within you again right now, and extend their teaching to new levels. So join me now, drink the draught of gratitude and let your teachers help you experience the illumination they talk so much about.
