And could meditation teachers benefit from some training to recognise when people they teach are coming up against trauma and acute anxiety?

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 4 Dec, 2021 - 06:00

Maitrisara explores the vipallasas, the topsy turvy views as a way to explore how our delusions inhibit our efforts in spiritual practice.
