A Night Under the Bodhi Tree: The True Posture of Meditation

Send a text

In a rare podcast, our host Amy Edelstein shares a personal experience of meditating at the site of the Buddha's awakening in Bodh Gaya back in 1985. 

In her inimitable narrative style, you'll feel the chill of a predawn rickshaw ride, the rustle of Bodhi leaves, and the mind challenge of conquering challenging mental states. 

Through Amy's experience, you'll settle into the posture of true meditation, open, curious, and willing to discover. 

If you’ve ever tried to “win” at practice, chased a perfect sit, or judged yourself by your mental mood, this personal account offers a reset rooted in classical texts, and supported  by lived experience. 

Listen, reflect, and then try it: loosen your grip and let the moment show you what the nature of consciousness is.
