Best of Awake in the World: Being Independent in our Practice

This week we're revisiting a favourite Awake in the World podcast episode from a New Year's retreat. Michael Stone talks on silent retreat about how meditation works over the long-haul, how to practice with a teacher that encourages independence, and how to live without gain. This is the second last talk of the year and the group was in deep silent practice, and it was snowing. Recorded at Sugar Ridge Retreat Centre in Midland, Ontario on Dec 30, 2013.
