2017-05-23 Finding Balance, Sustaining Wise Action 57:32
Oren Jay Sofer
Equanimity arises from understanding the nature of this world, and provides the balanced perspective needed to inform and sustain long service.

2017-05-23 When Truth Speaks Out – Limbless Man On the Bridge 31:21
Ayya Medhanandi
When delusion, impatience and lack of trust prevail in our spiritual work, we rape our own goodness and execute ourselves over and over again. This suffering, clearly known, helps us to see how we cling and how we let go. When clinging again, let go again – stop the subterfuge of clinging and undermining ourselves. Actually, we are our own liberators. We are powerful beyond our understanding.

2017-05-23 Rising Up Like A Swan 15:05
Ayya Medhanandi
Reviewing our effort to practise, recalibrate and make adjustments as needed. Make peace with what arises – neither controlling nor being passive; like a parent – compassionate, mindful, discerning. Whatever hindrance is most predominant, make it skilful, waking up if we’re asleep, or settling down if we’re restless, calming when agitated or patiently balancing. This is nothing short of the way to Nibbana, the supreme goal. Step by step, through all manner of sufferings and joys, we radiate blessings in the ten directions.

2017-05-23 Funeral of the Ego & Chant on Impermanence 3:45
Ayya Medhanandi
We come on retreat from our busy lives where we can easily relapse into old unworthy mental habits, hoping that here, at last, we can put them to sleep. They too are impermanent. Reflect on their impermanence using these chants for the funeral of our ego and the death of our ignorance. Once their corpse is seen and placed in a coffin, it’s possible to sustain open compassionate awareness wherever we are.
