2023-03-27 The Three Refuges - Understanding Dhamma - Week 3 - Talk 39:03
Mark Nunberg
Please join in for this four week course examining the traditional three refuges as the central practice of clarifying and strengthening one’s spiritual aspiration and intuition about the path. Without this ongoing deepening of understanding regarding the means and ends of our spiritual practice we tend to pick and choose what we like from the many choices that exist today. The Buddhist practice of taking refuge as a conscious intentional act goes against the stream of our habit energies. Taking refuge as an ongoing practice is how we keep what is most important in mind as we practice meditation and navigate our busy days. The Three Refuges exist to strengthen our allegiance with intimacy and clear comprehension of the way things are, allowing for a wiser, more compassionate and creative engagement with our lives.

2023-03-27 My Religion is Kindness 22:39
Ayya Medhanandi
Joy comes softly. First, we plow through the labyrinth of our emotional compost. We know anguish, selfishness, and all their truant cousins. Then we learn skillful ways to let go. Dying to the ‘self’, the heart is purified. Even despair and the darkest energies vanish in the presence of a happiness that is beyond ownership. There is no ‘one’ to hold on, die, or awaken, but the heart is compassionate, free, and at peace with all things.

2023-02-22 Part 2: Refuge in the Wilderness – Coming Home to Embodied Presence 53:21
Tara Brach
When we live from our mental control towers, we are in a trance that confines our life. These two talks look at the primary ways we are conditioned to leave embodied presence, and the consequence of unlived life—being cut off from our vitality, intelligence and compassion. We then explore the teachings and practices that guide us to reconnect to our senses, and the sacred presence that underlies all lived experience.
