The Buddha touched the earth and asked for help to awaken, and this can be seen as a template for us, even in difficult times. This talk begins with our own embodied experience, reflects on the Satipatthana sutta refrain as a description of how nature supports awakening, and closes with Ajahn Chah, who said that we can learn from Nature enough to be enlightened.
