Carol Wilson's Dharma Talks
Carol Wilson
What I most love in my teaching practice is seeing students become dedicated to their own liberation. As their spiritual practice matures, people light up from within when they begin to understand that personal freedom is possible. This commitment to freedom on the part of the student inspires me to find ways to express my deepest understanding and enthusiasm for liberation.

2009-04-04 What If... Shifting the Paradigm 54:30

2009-02-25 Compassion And Emptiness 61:22
Emptiness and compassion are like two sides of the same coin -- they support and balance one another. How can we open to the beauty and suffering in this world; and how can we respond with wise intention?

2009-02-18 Exploring Craving 62:24
This talk encourages us to explore the gratification, danger and escape in our personal experience of clinging; with the intention to understand rather than to judge. Meeting our experience with mindfulness/wisdom is the practice of non-clinging.

2009-02-13 The Joy Of Generosity 62:39
The Buddha gave great importance to the quality of generosity, or dana. It can be seen as a supportive condition for the cultivation of the eightfold path. The inner intention of generosity purifies the heart/mind of greed - and it brings great joy!

2009-02-08 Perception Of Impermanence 59:13

2009-02-05 Shifting The Paradigm 60:16
Meditation is the work of the mind: as in the famous saying of the Buddha: Avoid evil, do good and purify the mind. The attitude with which we approach our practice can be a continuation of our usual habits of getting and doing, or we can shift the view (the paradigm) to that of trust and confidence in natural awareness.
