About this episode

This episode explores the complexities of motherhood through a Dharma talk, addressing themes of care, grief, and the maternal heart.

“Mother Matters” is a Dharma talk offered at Two Hands Sangha exploring the many dimensions of motherhood, care, grief, gratitude, and the maternal heart. Mother’s Day is not always simple. For some, it is joyful. For others, it carries loss, longing, regret, complicated relationships, or deep tenderness. In this talk we’ll explore the Buddha’s own experience with maternal loss, the story of Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī who raised him, and how the Dharma invites us to hold love and suffering together with compassion and honesty. May it be of use to you! https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com
