140 | Reorienting to Freedom

Reorienting the mind towards freedom and embodying our true nature fully and interupptedly breeds a steadfast heart and flexible mind. In this special replay episode, Lamas Yeshe and Zopa share the vital practice of contemplating the Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind to Dharma, which reoirents the mind away from the deceptivenss of samsara and towards liberation and buddhahood. This is a replay of the first in a five-part series we aired in 2023, exploring each of the four thoughts and their contemplative practice. These are contemplations well worth revisiting, time and again.⁠ Download free guided practices for the four contemplations and more here: https://www.prajnafire.com/downloadsPRAJNA SPARKS follows the lunar calendar.
