Genuineness

This is a confusing and painful time for our world. In the midst of uncertainty, loss, fake news, and disruption, where can we rest our minds and hearts? Connecting with the living truth of our experience depends on being genuine—free from deceiving others and free from deceiving ourselves. Meditation is a journey of opening to ourselves; learning to shed the layers of deception we cling to. When only the heart remains, wisdom is revealed in each moment. In this talk, Noel McLellan explores the 5 aspects of genuineness, a teaching of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Noel illustrates each principle with a story from the Zen tradition.
