2010-10-20 Part 2 - Mindfulness of Emotions - Introductory Series 1:24:15
Tara Brach
Our conditioning is to live in a reactive trance of either resisting or become possessed by strong emotions. This reactivity fuels a trance of being separate from others, and feeling defective and insecure. In this class we explore how to free ourselves from this suffering by bringing a mindful and kind awareness to the stories and feelings that make up our emotional life.

2010-10-20 Self and Others 60:51
Stephen Batchelor
Concluding remarks: recap. on namarupa/consciousness, and reiteration that, as a way of embracing dukkha, this account of experience is prescriptive NOT descriptive; example from literature that illustrates the poignancy of this view of life; reflection on Dhammapada v. 80 to illustrate how the self is a project to be realised, a middle way approach that avoids both eternalism and nihilism; reflection on three suttas that provide a foundation for ethics and one's relation with others; how to tend to the Buddha entails tending to those who suffer.

2010-10-18 Entering the Stream 61:33
Stephen Batchelor
The parable of the ancient city as a template for a secular Buddhism, i.e. how the four truths and conditioned arising provide a framework for a new culture or civilisation; further reflection on "fully knowing dukkha" in terms of its cognitive, affective and aesthetic implications; how stream entry entails autonomy, as well as confirmed confidence in Buddha, dharma and sangha; the humanised Buddha as the appropriate model for one's practice of the dharma not the arahant.

2010-10-18 Stillness and Movement 53:46
Catherine McGee
Sometimes we long for stillness and for all activity to come to rest. Sometimes we long for movement and can't bare to be still any longer. In using the practices of stillness and movement of body we start to study this dynamic, and we see the inner life of stillness and movement and how suffering arises through not fully understanding this play: either we get hooked into the things that move because they catch our attention, or we want to reject them for the same reasons. Coming to a wise relationship with stillness and movement brings more rest in a world of things that move.
