The Calling of the Bodhisattva in Our Times
65:26
|
|
Donald Rothberg
|
|
|
We explore the contemporary need for a new kind of Bodhisattva, one dedicated both to awakening and to helping others. We examine the Bodhisattva's resonance with the indigenous shaman and the Jewish and Christian prophets, and identify some of the qualities and capacities in which the contemporary Bodhisattva trains.

Spirit Rock, The Buddha's Path of Well-Being and Happiness
6:50:32
|
|
Howard Cohn
|
|
|
The Buddha was called 'the Happy One'. His teachings and path provide a clear and inspiring vision of our capacity to use our life to fulfill our goal of happiness. This talk of Insight Meditation will follow the Buddha's Way of mindfulness, concentration and love, illustrating how each of us, through a gradual process of applying loving awareness to our moment-to-moment experience, can move from clinging and attachment to letting go and freedom, from confusion to clarity, and from tension to ease of well-being.

The Novice With An Empty Bowl
24:50
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
A humble novice with his bowl empty exemplifies where true riches lie in this world. Meditating deep in the unchartered borders within, gain those riches by giving up worldly pursuits. See the value of what is true and what reveals the truth to us. Beyond confusion, beyond wanting, beyond harmful ways of being, purify the mind and seek that jewel of the heart's true peace, clear and free.

The Calling of the Bodhisattva 2 - Vow and Ritual
68:13
|
|
Donald Rothberg
|
|
|
After a talk continuing to explore the need for contemporary versions of the Bodhisattva, we engage in reflection and ritual, developing personal vows for ourselves as Bodhisattvas in training, and expressing them before the group (the latter is not in the recording).
