2005-08-03 Path to Freedom 42:20
Noah Levine
2005-08-05 Arising 31:08
Jose Reissig
Arisings that occur "out there" trigger their match in the screen of our mind. In the arising of experiences—like with the experience of community life and of individual life—there is also the opportunity to experience awareness itself.
2005-08-06 The Middle Way Is Not The Ostrich Way 41:03
Jose Reissig
In our efforts to avoid the trap of polarities—like pleasant/unpleasant, or good/evil— we may fall into the trap of avoidance, i.e. of ignorance. The true Middle Way results from the wisdom of a well-trained mind, capable of seeing through deception whether initiated by self or by other.
2005-08-07 Passing Away 35:32
Jose Reissig
This talk addresses the passing away of experiences, like that of a retreat, of a relationship, or of self. They become unproblematic when clinging ends, when the "thingness" of experience drops out.
2005-08-07 Suffering 1:20:17
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
The mind is always creating thought worlds that make us suffer. To get beyond this suffering, you have to confront the fears that force the mind to keep creating these worlds.
2005-08-08 Sitting In The Center Of The Circle 56:59
John Travis
Difficult mind states have a tendency to knock us off our seats. Mindfulness befriends these difficulties.
2005-08-08 Dialog on Wisdom 65:43
Jack Kornfield
with Ed Brown (?)
2005-08-12 The Body 1:19:12
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Awareness filling the body is the foundation of your meditation. It provides a sense of solidity throughout the interactions of life, and ultimately is the means for encountering the Deathless.
2005-08-13 Illuminating The Path 48:54
Narayan Helen Liebenson
The Buddha called the practice the path of awakening, yet we can't always see where we're going. This talk addresses making the path visible.
2005-08-15 Awakening in Nature 62:38
