Then the guided meditation begins with a brief overview of equanimity practice , followed by cultivating equanimity in both the development of concentration and mindfulness. This is followed by a brief compassion practice and then developing equanimity as a heart practice.

A description of how intentions lead to actions (cetana leads to kamma) and the importance of being mindful of this building block of reality. Guided meditation and further teachings at the end.

The practice of compassion can lead us to happiness, peace and freedom from suffering and its cause.

Teachings on Satipatthana and guided RAIN meditation

This talk explores the 2nd Noble Truth. Craving as the cause of suffering and it's end. In our meditation and our daily lives.

The Buddha described awakening not as a leap to the summit but as a gradual training, one step laid down after another. Drawing on the image of walking (forest monks on tudong, pilgrims, and the cleared trails of these woods), this talk explores the anupubbasikkhā through generosity, ethics, meditation, and wisdom. With the Buddha’s teaching to Gaṇaka Moggallāna, the bird that carries only its wings, and poetry inspired by freedom, we reflect on how one thing lawfully leads to the next. We set up the conditions, and the dhamma does the rest. The arc of the path is long, but it bends toward freedom.
