2021-07-19 Buddhist Studies: Mindfulness of the Mind, Week 4 - Meditation 28:42
Mark Nunberg
Common Ground Meditation Center Buddhist Studies Course: Mindfulness of the Mind

2021-07-19 Meditation: Listening with the Heart | Monday Night 23:59
Jack Kornfield
Direct mindful loving awareness to the mind. The mind secretes thoughts, stories and memories. You are the loving awareness that feels the stream of the mind, that knows it—all the busyness, hopes, and ideas. Listen now to the wisdom mind. It has a message for you. It has wisdom that you need just now. Now let the field of loving awareness open, so the heart knows you can listen to the world around you with tender care. By listening with a compassionate heart and a wisdom mind, your understanding can grow.

Taking care with what we connect with, with that which supports our capacity to be here – grounded, present, receptive. Guard from anything that takes us away from the fullness of citta.

2021-07-14 Puja – Being Buddha 40:03
Ajahn Sucitto
The nature of puja is it’s a direct participation in Dhamma. Setting aside what is not needed, boundaries of self and circumstance dissolve and there’s just the upright center, receptive. Surveying the field of kamma from this awakened position gives you a direction, a vantage point from which to navigate your day and your meditation.

2021-07-14 Guided Meditation – It’s Like This Now 18:10
Ajahn Sucitto
Practicing in the upright body, surveying the field, whatever is happening for you, wherever you are, however you are – it’s like this now. Without reacting, denying, fighting or fudging, staying with experience but not in it. That’s the still point. Through that power of this truth, the tide of kamma begins to settle and clarify, and wisdom begins to arise.
