Podcast on Buddhist Practice

Pristine Awareness: Foundation for Buddhist Practice is a fully inclusive Dharma organization focused on meditative and contemplative practice rather than study, ceremonies or ritual. We are particularly inspired by the deep simplicity of Early Buddhism, Chan and Dzogchen. In light of this, we are dedicated to supporting individuals to engage in Buddhist methods that are simple, meaningful and transformative.

Our primary focus is the awakening of joy, love, compassion and evenness. We follow the \"pith instruction\" tradition or style of practice, which focuses on simplicity, adaptability and embedding practice in daily life. We are particularly inspired by the following pith instruction from Kyabje Togden Amtrin:

Arouse joy and rest in its natural radiance!

Not only is this the heart of the path,

but indeed it is the heart of Awakening.

This podcast will include short and long instructions on practice, including \"in the wild\" recordings from live teachings and retreats.
