Nathan Glyde
Guided meditation and talk about four ways to see our meditation practice: gathering in well-being; radiating beautiful qualities; investigating experience; playing with lenses of perception. Because all things, including meditation, are dependently arising fabrications: there are many ways to meet them, and many (probably endless) ways of practising.

2021-12-31 The Network of Liberation 46:13
Ajahn Sucitto
Notice the web of conditions we all share, connections we take for granted – we are not separate from that, we are that weave. The decent human response is to cultivate virtue and goodwill, develop wisdom; such skillful causes and conditions purify the heart. This is the kamma that leads to the end of kamma. Connection to Dhamma via spiritual friendship leads out of suffering. It’s important to recognize such connectivity as a skillful quality, not a bondage.
