TEA AND ZEN - THREADS

Threads is a contemplative audio offering from Meditation Sans Frontières, a sanctuary devoted to presence, remembrance, and the quiet radiance of being. These transmissions arise from lived experience — from grief that has softened into wisdom, from love that refuses to diminish, and from the sacred interior technologies of stillness and relational presence.

THE LONGING FOR HOME - addiction #3

TEA AND ZEN - THREADS ·

2024/10/19

At its essence, addiction can be understood as a profound search for peace and bliss….a longing to reconnect with the divine and the Love that feels like home. This perspective suggests that, throughout our journey in life, we often perceive ourselves as separate from a sacred origin. This sense of separation, felt acutely from the moment of conception into our human forms, instills a deep homesickness within us.As we navigate the complexities of existence, many turn to substances, while others seek

HOPE FOR ENLIGHTENMENT

TEA AND ZEN - THREADS ·

2024/10/10

Sometimes, I can hardly bear the suffering in the world. Even though I care for myself amid it all, I find myself in moments like this, where words fail me and the grief feels unbearable. I weep—sometimes outside, but often, like now, it seems trapped inside me, sorrow spilling over nonetheless.The world feels shaken, steeped in a palpable shock. There’s a phrase from Ram Dass that resonates with me: “When we are in our greatest suffering, we are actually closer to our greatest joy.” It highlights a

CONTEMPLATION - INTEGRITY

TEA AND ZEN - THREADS ·

2024/09/29

I am not interested in the ‘integrity’ coming out of your thinking mind, that can hardly be the truth of any matter. No, what I am most interested in is the integrity that flows from your heart accompanied by Grace. That is the truth of any and all matter……… it is where you and I meet as ONE.

POEM - When I am among the trees

TEA AND ZEN - THREADS ·

2024/09/26

When I am among the trees, especially the willows and the honey locust, equally the beech, the oaks and the pines, they give off such hints of gladness. I would almost say that they save me, and daily.I am so distant from the hope of myself, in which I have goodness, and discernment, and never hurry through the world but walk slowly, and bow often.Around me the trees stir in their leaves and call out, “Stay awhile.” The light flows from their branches.And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say,

This is a note to self coming out of an experience this morning that reminds meagain that it is important to know one's truth,to know one's truth deep enough that there is no need to convinceany other of it, of our truth, and we do that by developing, deepening our connectionwith the love within us. You want to call it Godthe divine, the beloved.I like the words love and divine essence because for me, both of those, they're one and the same.And all truth is found there.So, to know your own truth
