2020-02-19 The Image of Ethics (Part 6 - An Inconclusive Conclusion, or A Prolegomenon) 58:03
Rob Burbea
CRUCIAL NOTE: It is highly unlikely that this talk will be properly or adequately understood without a prior very good working familiarity and competence – both in actual practice and conceptually – with Soulmaking Dharma teachings and practices, as well as with Insight Meditation. Without this background it may be that the talk will in fact be misunderstood, and it is unlikely that the talk will be helpful. Please note too that much of the material in this series of talks (In Psyche’s Orchard) is based on or continues explorations of material laid out in a particular previous series (Four Circles, Four Parables of Stone and Light). In Psyche’s Orchard was recorded by Rob at his home.

2020-02-19 From the Ordinary Habitual Mind to the Buddha Mind 14: Working with Our Psychological Conditioning (Talk Begins at 57:07) 2:00:51
Donald Rothberg
In this session, we explore first in a more general way the complex relationship between transforming our psychological conditioning (including any residues of trauma) and meditative training, pointing to a kind of emerging contemporary map of how these practices come together (and how this map relates to more traditional maps). Near the end of the talk are inquiry questions to help us explore our own unresolved issues of a more psychological nature.

The Buddha taught that the six sense spheres of hearing, seeing, sensing, smelling, tasting and cognizing represent "the all". The Bahiya Sutta points directly to the sense spheres as not-self.

2020-02-18 Motivation, Disillusionment, and Release 45:03
Winnie Nazarko
The motivation for practice changes as our initial ideas about what we "get" out of it, meet frustration. As delusion is exposed and let go of, real practice begins.

2020-02-18 Metta leben - Mettapraxis im Alltag 47:02
Yuka Nakamura
Im Alltag bieten sich unzählige Gelegenheiten um Metta, die Qualität der Freundlichkeit und des Wohlwollens, zu üben und zu manifestieren. Dazu gehören Gesten der Grosszügigkeit, ethisches Handeln, Freundlichkeit in unseren Worten etc. Letzlich lässt uns Metta die Nicht-Getrenntheit von allen Wesen erkennen und entsprechend handeln.
