Vesak is the Buddhist holiday that celebrates the Buddha's birth, enlightment and death. What links these events is the radical and powerful message of all Buddhist teachings: We each have the potential to realize and live from and awakened heart and mind. This talk explores how the key mythological, psychological and spiritual junctures of the Buddha's life are entirely relevant to our own transformation.

2009-05-26 Compassion 22:19
Shaila Catherine	Download Listen
Compassion, karuna, is the intention of non-cruelty. It is the aspect of loving kindness (metta) that responds wisely to pain, and wishes to alleviate suffering. Compassion training helps us to remain present with pain. There is no need to fear pain, no need to consider pain bad or wrong. A compassionate self-acceptance allows us to remain present and responsive in the face of life's most difficult moments. With compassion we can ask "How can I help?" and stay present to respond.

Donald Rothberg	Download Listen
How do we find depth, focus and support for an engaged path? And why do we need such a path? Aren't traditional Buddhist paths complete and adequate for our times? In this talk, we explore these issues, identifying 1) the structure of the traditional path of training in ethics, meditation, and wisdom; 2) what an engaged path adds or extends and the way that it meets the needs of our times; and 3) five core training areas for engaged paths.

Dhammananda Bhikkhuni	Download Listen
We always hear about the life of the Buddha, but very few of us know that his wife Yasodhara was the first and only person in the entire Buddhist canon to say “no” to the Buddha, and the Buddha accepted. This evening presentation will include a reshaping of Yasodhara’s story as well as the personal story of Ven. Dhammananda Bhikkhuni’s own journey to become ordained, and her mother’s struggles to become the first ordained nun in Thailand.
