Buddhist Teachings

A very enlightened soul who is no longer with us on this plane of existence. 
Rob was vulnerable and humble, yet also very clever and informed about about what he had to say.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Another beautiful soul that is no longer with us. Thay was a major influence on Buddhism coming to the west. He was known as the father of mindfulness and his mere presence was a teaching in itself.

Recollective Awareness by Jason Siff

Jason’s way to meditating is about being kind, allowing and curious about what arises during our meditations. Thoughts and feelings are a welcome part of the process of meditating using this approach. Recollective awareness students usually journal what happened in their meditation as a means of understanding more about the meditative process.
