2024-05-25 Dukkha Demands Objectification 1:18:21
Nathan Glyde
An exploration of the dependent origination of dukkha down to the level of making things to grasp, demand, and obsess over. If we find things are ungraspable, really, how could we grasp onto them or push them away? What happens to reactivity, stress, and suffering in a world with no thing in it? A lightly guided meditation, Dharma reflection, and responses to (unrecorded questions).

2024-05-23 Walking the Buddha's Path: Taking Refuge in a Human Teacher 34:51
Gregory Kramer
Offered May 23, 2024 Gregory Kramer invites the Insight Dialogue Community to celebrate Vesak together. Vesak day is a celebration and recognition of the Buddha’s birth, awakening and death. It usually occurs on the first full moon of May. A common intention set on this day is a recommitment to Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha. This is a day to remember the Buddha's legacy and celebrate our potential for progress on the path to liberation, just as Gotama did before his awakening. In this talk, Gregory offers the following contemplations: Do you sense your own humanity? your own potential our own vulnerability? Does your own humanity connect you to the Buddha? and inspire you?

2024-05-23 Thursday is Wesak! Thursday is Wesak! Honoring the Life and Teaching of the Buddha 49:51
James Baraz
This Thursday, May 23rd is Wesak, the most special day in Theravada Buddhist countries (Burma, Thailand, Sri Lanka). The full moon in May is said to be the day that the Buddha was born, became enlightened at the age of 35 and died at the age of 80. The three holiest of days all rolled into one! On this Wesak, we can reflect on who this person was, what he discovered on his journey and the legacy he's left us.
