2017-07-15 No- Self in the Brain: Insights from Neuroscience ( Daylong at Spirit Rock) 49:00
Rick Hanson
Day Long class. We all experience having a particular identity that helps us navigate the world, but the sense of self is also a source of great suffering as we cling to its wants and react to how others treat it. Examine 'self' and its release in light of Buddhism and modern brain science.

2017-07-18 Living Wisely in the World: Caring for Mind, Family, Society, and Planet 3:23:00
with Jennifer Dungan, Lisa Dale Miller, Nikki Mirghafori, Robert Cusick, Shaila Catherine
A famous verse in the Dhammapada states: “All experience is preceded by mind, led by mind, made by mind. Speak or act with a corrupted mind, and suffering follows, as the wagon wheel follows the hoof of the ox … Speak or act with a peaceful mind, and happiness follows, like a never-departing shadow.” This guest speaker series will explore the ways in which care for our minds leads to care for our families, societies and our planet.
2017-07-19 The Dharma in the Holy Land 1 1:12:08
Donald Rothberg
In the first of two talks reflecting on just returning from five weeks of teaching and traveling in Israel/Palestine, we start to explore two themes: (1) identity in the context of Buddhist teachings about anatta and Donald's experience of being with many people in Israel with very similar East European Jewish ancestry; and (2) how to understand, be with, respond to, and transform unresolved and tragic historical trauma and suffering, found both with Jewish Israelis and Palestinians both in Israel and the occupied territories. A second talk will continue this exploration.
