Podcast Title: The Mindful Heart: Season: 5 Episode: 73 Stillness in Motion: The Dignity of Presence – Exploring the Diamond Sutra, Chapter 29 Episode Description: In this 73rd episode of The Mindful Heart: we delve into the 29th chapter of the Diamond Sutra – The Dignified Stillness of Conduct. Through a reflective reading and discussion, we explore how the Bodhisattva embodies silence, serenity, and mindful presence even while moving through the world. What does it mean to act without attachment, and to walk without truly arriving or departing? We’ll also be guiding a short mindfulness meditation, inspired by the phrase "nowhere coming, nowhere going", helping us return to the center of awareness – where past and future dissolve, and only presence remains. Tune in for a gentle yet powerful reminder: true dignity is not found in outer form, but in the stillness of a compassionate heart. Segments: Opening reflection: the paradox of movement and stillness Sutra reading: Chapter 29 of the Vajra Sutra Guided mindfulness: Arriving in every step, departing from nothing Closing thoughts: living the Bodhisattva path in daily life Comments and Support https://open.firstory.me/user/ckqwnj6abmfqu0976slcngntc) : https://open.firstory.me/user/ckqwnj6abmfqu0976slcngntc/comments) Powered by Firstory Hosting)
