About this episode
The episode explores the themes of nourishment and presence through the lens of Buddha's teachings, reflecting on the fleeting moments of life.
"The Living's Easy" is a Dharma talk offered at Two Hands Sangha on the topic of nourishment, presence, and making the most of the fleeting moments of our lives. As summer begins, vacations loom, children grow up, and life shifts around us, we often find ourselves holding both joy and a sadness at the same time. Tonight we’ll explore the Buddha’s teachings on nutriment and ask not only what we feed our bodies, but what we feed our minds, hearts, relationships, and attention. We’ll reflect on presence versus distraction, fear versus love, and how the ordinary moments we often overlook may someday become the moments we miss the most. Enjoy! https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com
