In the Domain of No Fear
18:32
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
The Buddha himself touched the Truth with his own mind. And so can we. It’s a purifying, intimate process - internal, invisible and crossing many intersections. At each one, we patiently examine the state of the heart, discerning what is harmful and what is wholesome in everything we face. The way opens for us to enter the domain of no fear and receive the gifts of wisdom, peace, and the heart’s unshakeable freedom.

Fictitious Noodles
21:21
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
What are we doing on this planet? How do we cope with feelings of fear? Can we observe wisely and penetrate through the fictions of the mind? To abandon them, we must understand them. Ayyā Medhānandī coaches us to investigate emotions like fear and anger, viewing their characteristics as tiny fragments of physical sensation and learning how to refresh the mind in one instant. Then we touch the space of non-fear, serenity and joy within us. A talk given at Toronto Theravada Buddhist Community in 2015.

Why Do Beings Live In Hate?
29:37
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
Has there ever been a time when the world was not filled with fear and violence? Millenia ago just as now, humans have been bound in a cycle of delusion, fear, and harm. The way out is within us – learning to find the still-point in the mind, where fleeting conditions subside. Awake to the present, anxiety and clinging bow to an inner contentment and peace. We are on the Middle Way.

Stephen Batchelor
|
|
|
A day of quiet reflection, talks and discussion that will focus on the challenge of understanding and interpreting the Buddha’s dharma in the contemporary world. Rather than simply modifying certain teachings and practices of traditional Buddhism, Stephen will propose that we may need a more radical re-evaluation of the dharma in order to enable its teachings to speak directly and clearly to the needs of modernity.

Moral Integrity, Courage, and Peace
30:08
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
The real path to peace lies in developing moral integrity. Our spiritual strength depends on purity of heart and action. We learn to identify unwholesome habits that obstruct our well-being and practice courageous compassion to discover the joy of harmlessness. These are the qualities that take us the way of the Noble Ones - to the summit of our human potential.

Compass of Our Heart
50:26
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
All of our actions, our entire life experience, arises from the energy of intention. While it’s natural that our intentions are shaped by egoic wants and fears, when we bring this into conscious, compassionate awareness, we can discover the deep aspiration that guides and energizes our awakening hearts and minds. This talk explores the movement from egoic intention to liberating intention…the movement from “my will” to “my hearts will."

Continua of Practice: Sophistication to Innocence
63:05
|
|
Rodney Smith
|
|
|
The ability to enlarge our knowledge base is essential to our success, in our careers, schooling, and home life. Sophistication, the skillful use of knowledge in a civilized and cultured manner is valued, but innocence, which can be seen as guileless and inexperienced, is not. Much of our self-image is formed by how knowledgeable and sophisticated we are and we can find ourselves competing with others to prove how much information we have obtained. When we know something, we place a fixed objective view onto life and freeze it within our past associations. The problem is that nothing is fixed.
