Wisdom of the Body

As dharma students, we learn to alleviate our suffering by developing wisdom.  This is not an intellectual wisdom, but rather a wisdom that we cultivate in the body and in the heart.  In this dharma talk, given at a daylong Meditation & Yoga retreat, Peter Doobinin describes the wisdom we come to know in the body and how we learn to come to know it.

They awaken, always wide awake:
Gotama’s disciples
whose mindfulness, both day & night,
is constantly immersed
in the body.
(Dhp 299)
