Laying the groundwork for retreat, yogis are encouraged to stay in touch with qualities of mindfulness, persistence and right energy. Such steady practice fortifies the citta, rather than the thinking mind, as the source of stability in an inherently unstable world. 30:35 Guided Meditation: Guidance for getting grounded, establishing safety in the space around, making the space you’re sitting in your refuge.

1. Can a stream enterer lose contact with the Dhamma? 2. (1:47) Can non-Buddhists become stream enterers? 3. (12:12) Should we observe defilements or cultivate wisdom to get rid of them? 4. (21:17) Should we as lay people work to get rid of mental dukkha? 5. (26:04) What is the difference between causes and conditions? 6. (29:09) How do we know “what’s needed now”?

Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
The world pulls us out with the promise of security in external things, but there’s only one place suffering stops. It’s in the release of mental activations. Using careful attention, yoniso manasikāra, we meet the causes and conditions of dukkha by noticing how we’re being affected by the world. This is how we can be free from the world while living in the world.

A primary source of our suffering is the conditioning to create “bad other,” or “inferior other.” This same conditioning leads us to creating a bad self and turn on ourselves. These three talks explore how we subscribe to societal myths and beliefs that perpetuate this “bad othering,” and “bad selfing.” They then guide us in bring a healing attention that can reveal the goodness that lives through all beings, and our innate connectedness. A core teaching is, “the boundary to who we include in our hearts is the boundary to our freedom.”

Donald Rothberg	Download Listen
We review and expand several perspectives on the relationship between knowing and "not knowing" (or openness) and three core practices of not knowing: (1) in mindfulness practice; (2) in listening to others (and oneself); and (3) in challenging transitional phases of one's life, when significant concerns in one's life are not resolved or clear. In the context of the third type of practice, we explore the "Dark Night," first named by the Spanish mystic, Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591), which may be briefer or longer, in terms of some of its dynamics and some suggestions on how to work with it.

We explore the centrality of the practice of "not knowing," that helps us to move from ordinary knowing to extraordinary knowing. We examine both the obvious value of many kinds of knowing and the shadow side of knowing, including its habitual and often addictive nature. Then we look at three ways of practicing not knowing: (1) in our mindfulness practice; (2) in listening to others as a practice; and (3) in being with transitional periods in our lives, when some important aspect of our lives remains unresolved.
