This month we replay Listen Contemplate Meditate, our first and still most popular episode, because we know from experience that we can never hear enough about the integrative dharma practice built on these three components.

More resources for the practice available at ⁠www.prajnafire.com⁠⁠/media

Lama Yeshe teaches about listening, contemplation, and meditation, the foundations of integrative practice; and you learn why the podcast is called Prajna Sparks. Tania Israel joins in for contemplation discussion, then Heather Stevenson sings a song with lyrics Tania wrote as part of her contemplative practice. Lama Zopa leads a guided practice on shamatha, tranquility meditation. Tibetan singing bowl interludes composed and performed by Shivnee Ratna.
