2013-01-08 Fundamentals of the Dharma: Embodied Action 45:09
Rodney Smith
Insights remain a dormant potential but not a formative actuality until they are put into action. Action validates the insight and establishes our intention to move in line with its truth. Action overcomes doubt and aligns our cognitive system with our spiritual transformation. It is the essential component for moving our spiritual journey forward. Too often our insights get lost within our conditioned habits and are never brought into the light of day, and therefore never fully position our mental and physical systems to the Dharma.

2013-01-01 A New Year's Day of Practice: Talk and Guided Visualization 31:07
Donald Rothberg
For "A New Year's Day of Practice: Resting and Re-Visioning," this talk in the afternoon pointed to ways that our practice can work with the three aspects of time: with training in present-centeredness, with studying and eventually letting go of the negative patterns from the past, and with aspiring in the future (in this New Year) to develop in ways that are helpful for both the personal and universal dimensions of awakening. A guided visualization helps us particularly with letting go and being in touch with what calls us from our depths for the next period of time.
