In this video recorded at the London Insight Meditation Center, Buddhist teacher Martin Aylward explores the process of awakening as uncovering the natural clarity of awareness that is always present. He shows how wisdom and compassion are not qualities we need to create, but inherent aspects of consciousness that reveal themselves when we turn toward our actual experience—including the parts of ourselves we often resist.
Join Martin Aylward on Saturday and Sunday, September 13th-14th, 2025, for an in-person and online retreat day exploring the Buddha’s path of awakening. Click here for more info.
