Eugene Cash
Exploring identification and attachment obscures the natural radiance. How dis-identification reveals the nature of mind. Buddha described a luminosity of mind. This talk explores the attachments and conceptualization that veil this luminosity and points us directly at the radiance of mind. Includes a guided meditation. The Buddha point to the luminous nature of mind. Our practice allows for recognition and realization of our natural luminosity.

2006-06-17 Glorious Failure 57:54
Ajahn Sucitto
Over time we experience of the limitations of body and mind. What we rely on doesn’t actually work. Life is a failure, but we can make it a glorious failure. The practice of Dhamma-Vinaya helps keep the spirit bright and impeccable in what we do. Dhamma means to establish ethical clarity, mindfulness, lovingkindness; Vinaya is bringing these ideals and aspirations forth into a living context.

Sharda Rogell
There is no need to be afraid of our personality....embracing all the condtions of our experience brings us to deeper levels of understanding. By recognizing times of deep contentment in ourselves, we plant a cellular memory of happiness that allows us to more easily find a natural resting place for the mind.

2006-06-12 It Will Never Happen To Me 40:26
Ayya Medhanandi
Shrouded in the cloud of ignorance, we believe that suffering will never happen to us. But when we emerge from that fog into a radical simplicity of heart, suffering becomes our teacher. Our eyes are opened thanks to Right View and direct experience of the Four Noble Truths. At last we transcend the tyranny of fear.

Mindfulness illuminates our present experience and allows for the qualities of openness, curiousity, interest and trust to arise as we explore what it means to be awake to our experience, whether it is pleasant or unpleasant.
