Bodha Sambhava

Image shows the ocean at sunset. A tidepool is surrounded by rocks and reflects the sky.

I’m in deep reflection with gratitude, love, and awe, at the departure from Earth of my beloved teacher, Lorin Roche, PhD, co-founder of The Radiance Sutras School of Meditation. Beyond words, really for all that he, his partner in life and teaching Camille Maurine, all my teachers, mentors, the behind the scenes magic makers, and the global community of friends I’ve been gifted.

I like using his book The Radiance Sutras as an oracle, and here’s what I opened to this evening.

Sutra 104
Holiness permeates everywhere.
Senses cannot grasp it.
Images cannot represent it.

It is totally free—
Free to appear as form,
Free to be beyond form.

Heart and body an mind in unison,
Attend to the unimaginable.
In the intercourse of unknowable and known,
An awakening will be born in you
As you join with that reality
which you already are.

From the illumination essay that accompanies the sutra: “bodha sambhava: to come into intimacy with pure consciousness.”

I can only imagine that Lorin is dancing a beautiful dance of intimacy with the unknowable.

Much love to Camille, all my teachers, the behind the scene magic makers, and the community I’ve come to love so deeply
