Eternal Being in Action

In this powerful talk, Adyashanti explores two archetypal aspects of our true being, Jesus and the Buddha. He invites us to recognize how the image of the Buddha’s deep, immovable stillness is accessible within us all—it is what we are. However, to realize only this element of the Buddha’s awakening is not complete freedom. Adyashanti illustrates how the story of Jesus portrays a lived expression of eternal being—something that comes from embracing our profound aloneness, which paradoxically is at the heart of our unified nature.

Topics Include: 

• Two Iconic Spiritual Images
• Unbattered Stillness

• You’ll Never Be Fully Understood
• Aloneness vs. Loneliness
• Giving the World Its Freedom
• Undivided Activism
