2024-12-13 The Three Supports and the Three Characteristics (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 58:53
Mei Elliott
This talk explores how the three supports (faith/confidence, well-being, and stability/concentration) provide the necessary conditions for insight into the three characteristics (impermanence, suffering, and not-self). In doing so, a map of the development of practice is unfolded, covering how insight occurs, what the insights are, and how they culminate in liberation.

2024-11-17 We Are the Mandala 24:06
Ayya Medhanandi
Pure present moment awareness reveals what we are not; and thereby, what we truly are. Investigate and question all thoughts you see circling in the mind – fearful or fanciful, liked or not. Know their clever disguises: impermanence everywhere! Not what we are, but empty, ephemeral in nature, they orbit like space debris – crowding the heart mandala of consciousness. Let go and rejoice when states of wanting, judgement, restlessness, fear, unhappiness and all the many faces of 'self' dissolve in the silence of pure awareness. This is true refuge – here and now. All else withers in the furnace of eternity.
