Free yourself from the mind and know the tranquil refuge you already possess within you. Bodhidharma, the great 5th-6th century Zen patriarch, provides clear directions for cutting through the mind and freeing yourself from its bondage. After discussing Bodhidharma's teachings, Lawrence leads a guided breath meditation for calming, centering, and detaching from the mind and all it produces. This opens the inherent natural state of wakefulness, your true liberated nature - buddha - awake, aware, always! Come to rest there and know unshakeable peace! Know boundless loving compassion! Know boundless rapture! Be empowered to walk these innate qualities into the world of everyday life, free of the afflicted mind!
