What does it mean to take refuge?

The meditation practice taught in Pema and my study invites us to use words of taking refuge or safe direction. In this episode, Ngakpa Dawa Norbu and I share a conversation about what it means to take refuge from a Christian and Buddhist perspective.

Episode 5 Sin & Karma

Episode 5 Sin & Karma

In this episode, Pema and I share a conversation about sin and karma. This was nerve wrecking for both of us as there exists a level of vulnerability in sharing our unique perspectives. After the dialogue, Pema asked “Did and his conversation out you?” I heard her to mean, “does this conversation in anyway threaten your standing within your faith tradition?” I appreciated her sensitivity and recognize that how I view sin is not in full alignment with some Christians. So I invite you to listen with curiosity. Feel free to contact us at amber@ambermattinglylivefree.com
