Awe and Wonder: The Practice of Sacred Perception
44:40
|
|
James Baraz
|
|
|
We often need something to be special to catch our attention. It takes practice to be mindful of ordinary experiences like the breath, a sound or a sensation. When we practice looking at reality through the lens of Sacred Perception, however, everything becomes holy and worthy of our attention. This talk explores Sacred Perception as a practice that makes even the mundane come alive.

Wise Effort: The Middle Way, Effort to Begin and PACE
39:27
|
|
Gullu Singh
|
|
|
A practical exploration of wise effort as a balanced, sustainable path: “not too tight and not too loose.” Gullu looks at the effort it takes to begin practice (and the conditions that can support and inspire that effort, including nibbidā and saṁvega), as well as how to cultivate the mind over time through the Four Wise Efforts, offered here with the acronym PACE:
P — Preventing unwholesome states from arising
A — Abandoning unwholesome states that have arisen
C — Cultivating wholesome states
E — Extending (sustaining) wholesome states
