2025-10-28 The Three Ways of Seeing That Bring Liberating Insight (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 67:37
Donald Rothberg
After a brief general account of the three ways of liberating insight, we look at each of the three--insights into impermanence, dukkha, and not-self--with a longer treatment of insight into not-self. There is an emphasis especially on how we practice in order to come to these insights. We close with a passage from Ajahn Chah pointing to the unity of developing samadhi and cultivating insight. The talk is followed by discussion.

2025-10-26 Developing Samadhi (Concentration): Its Importance, How Samadhi Deepens, and the Challenges of Practicing to Develop Samadhi (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 62:41
Donald Rothberg
We review the nature of samadhi, how it is a natural quality that surfaces in many human experiences, and its importance in meditation (and the teachings of the Buddha). We briefly examine the five jhanic factors that point to how samadhi deepens. We also look at several of the main challenges that arise as we practice to develop samadhi.
