The Buddha suggests that the practice of mettā and the other brahmavihāras can serve as a basis for refined perceptions, in which the solidity of “self” and “other” begins to dissolve. In this sequence of reflections and guided meditations, we begin to explore and experiment with such possibilities.

2026-08-27 Like the River Flows: Anattā, Impermanence, and the Freedom of no Fixed Address 47:53
Devon Hase
Download Listen
A dharma talk exploring anattā through the five aggregates and the Anattālakkhaṇa Sutta, alongside Anāthapiṇḍika's deathbed teaching from Sāriputta. Weaves impermanence and death contemplation together with not-self - drawing on Thanissaro Bhikkhu's pragmatic (not metaphysical) framing of not-self - and closes with mettā as the natural fruit of a loosened, undefended heart.

In the insight teachings, the Buddha offers radical ways of reducing suffering by relaxing the perceptions that give rise to and sustain it. Bringing these perspectives together with mettā practice offers a powerful complementarity, allowing both insight and loving-kindness to deepen and support one another.

2026-08-27 Two Essential Qualities for Awakening: Heedfulness and Wise Attention 39:58
James Baraz
Download Listen
This talk explores an important topic that James has not spoken on before. We often think of practice as simply noticing our experience in the present moment. However, the Buddha explicitly pairs heedfulness (appamada) and wise attention (yoniso manasikara) as the two primary internal factors responsible for giving birth to the Noble Eightfold Path. This talk discusses how these two qualities are applied in our practice on and off the cushion.
