Satipatthana Sutta, Fourth Foundation: Application of Discernment
56:22
|
|
Rodney Smith
|
|
|
Applying discernment requires an honesty of intent. That honesty is the discernment at work. If you need skillful means to help balance the energy, use it. It can be helpful to back up to the First Foundation and see how the state of mind is affecting the body. Next, move to the Second Foundation and catch the feeling tone and the accompanying story. Moving onto the Third Foundation, settle to see just what this state is in essence. Finally, apply discerning questions that pick apart the solidity and truth of the state of mind such as, "Is there space for this too?" "Where is the "me" in this state?"

Breaking Free of Habits: Part 1

|
|
Martine Batchelor
|
|
|
During this daylong we will work with the habits that bind us and stop our potential for wisdom and compassion from manifesting fully. We will use the meditative tools found in the Vipassana and Zen traditions, like watching the breath, listening and questioning, to see how we can engage creatively with our habits and transform them into positive functions.

Silence
56:59

|
Leela Sarti
|
|
|
Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translations, says Rumi. Beyond the experience of deficient, negative silence in our lives, when the mind and heart becomes quiet and at times completely still and clean, we are pointed directly to the truth of our being. In the silence of all things the grooves and tendencies of the habitual mind stand out in vivid colour. In silence there is a falling away of name, form and self.

Getting Down to Direct Experience III
63:07
|
|
Donald Rothberg
|
|
|
Building on the last two sessions, we explore three inter-related aspects of ignorance or confusion: 1. How we move away from direct experience, especially because of reactivity. 2. How we develop, personally and collectively, unconscious material;and 3. How we do not fully understand impermanence, the roots of suffering and the nature of the self. We suggest ways to practice with all three forms of ignorance.

Awakening the Human Heart
41:11
|
|
Leela Sarti
|
|
|
To truly embrace the intensity of our longing and sorrow, our hopes and fears, to be present and open as we are impacted by our past, and to live with inner ground and freedom in the midst of the joys and sorrows of the world, what is is needed is a great heart, but a also a human heart. Do we know the true capacity of our heart?
