2024-12-25 Trusting Who We Are (retreat talk) 60:56
Tara Brach
When we are suffering, we are believing something untrue – usually a limiting story about who we are. This talk explores the roots of our self-doubts, and the teachings and practices that remind us of our basic goodness – the loving awareness that is our source (given at the Fall 2019 IMCW 7-Day Silent Retreat). I really invite you to experiment and find the way of remembering love that warms your heart because it’ll help you trust your heart and we deep down really want to trust the goodness of our hearts. May we trust who we are. ~ Tara

2024-12-23 Befriending Eternity: 49 Days in Darkness by Adam Baraz 59:06
James Baraz
Talk originally given on December 12, 2024 I’m happy to share the evening with my son, Adam Baraz, who will reflect on the recent completion of his fifth Darkness Retreat, a 49-day “Bardo Retreat” in Tuscany, Italy. Adam will discuss the psychological, physical, emotional, and spiritual journey of “being alone in the dark” for 7 weeks. He will describe the practical aspects of preparation, meditation practice, challenges, and benefits of extended darkness retreat practice.

2024-12-21 Dismantling time 45:03
Ajahn Sucitto
Life is generally measured in terms of clock-and-calendar time. However, to attempt to live accordingly is stressful, binding us to impatience, regret, and expectation. The familiarity of these patterns makes them ‘myself’. In Dhamma practice, we attune to an embodied stability that yet moves us into fresh presence. Our practice then is free from seeking certainty.

2024-12-21 Passions of Buddha, Pt.2 : Boundless Compassion 1:26:13
Nathan Glyde
An Online Dharma Hall session includes a Guided Meditation, a Dharma Talk, and responses to unrecorded questions. A three-part series examining the role of passion, compassion, and dispassion on the Buddha's path to peace. This week, the freedom pathway and fruit of compassion. Including the interplay between compassion, forgiveness, and healing of the heart; the well-being that comes from the cultivation of a boundless expansive heart—and how this way we can resource ourselves beyond habitual routes (that don't really work) towards satisfaction and well-being that (really does).
