Restraining the Outflows
58:11
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
All the world rests on very simple human emotions – fear, anxiety, loneliness, gratification. We run out because of them, or build walls to protect ourselves from them. Practice with restraint, keep coming back to here, now, knowing, it’s like this. Don’t run out, just return, and the outflows fade on their own.

Buddhist Psychology and the Enneagram Part 1
51:54
|
|
Tina Rasmussen
|
|
|
This talk explores Bikkhu Bodhi's advice to "take stock of ourselves," by exploring our relationship to the three "Personality Patterns" of Buddhism (also known as the Defilements.) Tina then relates these three patterns to the Inner Triangle of the Enneagram, and provides and overview of how to use the Enneagram as it was intended--as a spiritual tool, rather than just another way to be identified with the personality.

Here we are in the change of seasons—the great turning. The sun is something for us to pay attention to, something we often take for granted. Notice the way the gift of sunlight streams behind everything—it feeds the plants we eat. We can be grateful for sunlight and trees, for people we love, for moments of goodness, and for the breath within our breast. And as our gratitude grows, we may discover a happiness without cause.

Stop Running and Your Real Home Appears
56:31
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
The tendency to keep running out into concepts eventually results in overload, insecurity, anxiety, collapse. We’re desperately looking for sanity. The steadiness and fulfillment we seek is already here, in the non-conceptual intelligence of body and heart. Rather than going out, return to where body, mind and heart energy come together. In this presence our real home appears.

Dhp 256 157 Judgmental v Judicious
17:56
|
|
Bhante Bodhidhamma
|
|
|
These two verses are about the process of judging. It is something we are doing all the time whether of people, political parties, other countries and so on. So it is as well to remnd ourselves how we come to a just and correct judgements especially with all the fake news about. I made a mistake at the end quoting the Pali Dhammassa gutto which means Protector of the Dhamma/Law. I ought to have quoted Dhammattho, Standing in the Dhamma - Righteous.

Impermanence (talk only)
42:34
|
|
Kate Munding
|
|
|
Impermanence: a cornerstone of dharma teachings and a place to live from and come back to no matter where we are in our practice. Impermanence can bring us into contraction or expansiveness. It ultimately points to our own impermanence, and what we need to wake up to before we die.

Doing, Not-Doing, and The Doing That Comes from Not-Doing: In Meditation and in Daily Life
64:49
|
|
Donald Rothberg
|
|
|
We inquire into doing and not-doing in five ways: (1) identifying the importance of a number of different kinds of "doing" and skillful effort in meditation; (2) pointing also to the centrality of a kind of not-doing (or letting go of doing) and receptivity in meditation; (3) the importance of investigating the "doer" and one's identity as a doer, in a number of different ways, in meditation and daily life; (4) the vision of a doing that comes out of being, that comes out of a deep not-doing, a vision that we find in different spiritual traditions--here we mention ways that this vision is found in Jewish, Christian, Taoist, and Buddhist traditions; and (5) how we explore and cultivate this doing coming out of a deep not-doing in daily life, in "flow experiences," in activities in which we are deeply grounded, and in such areas as sports, music, art, and dance.
