What are we doing on this planet? How do we cope with feelings of fear? Can we observe wisely and penetrate through the fictions of the mind? To abandon them, we must understand them. Ayyā Medhānandī coaches us to investigate emotions like fear and anger, viewing their characteristics as tiny fragments of physical sensation and learning how to refresh the mind in one instant. Then we touch the space of non-fear, serenity and joy within us. A talk given at Toronto Theravada Buddhist Community in 2015.

Why Do Beings Live In Hate?

Has there ever been a time when the world was not filled with fear and violence? Millenia ago just as now, humans have been bound in a cycle of delusion, fear, and harm. The way out is within us – learning to find the still-point in the mind, where fleeting conditions subside. Awake to the present, anxiety and clinging bow to an inner contentment and peace. We are on the Middle Way.

A day of quiet reflection, talks and discussion that will focus on the challenge of understanding and interpreting the Buddha’s dharma in the contemporary world. Rather than simply modifying certain teachings and practices of traditional Buddhism, Stephen will propose that we may need a more radical re-evaluation of the dharma in order to enable its teachings to speak directly and clearly to the needs of modernity.
