2009-02-01 THe Naked Heart 40:22
Thanissara
The mind like a rabbit in the head lights of the Hua T’ou The swoon of the bardo’s and present time effects Not using meditation like a lawyer but understanding what gets us obstructed The story of Hui Neng & the world speaking the Diamond Sutra Jatukanni’s question to the Buddha
Dharmagiri Original Brightness Retreat

2009-02-01 Integrity and the Poetics of Unknowing 69:40
Rob Burbea
Please note that these talks are from a 4 week retreat for experienced meditators. The talks and meditations can be listened to in any order or individually, but as they progressively unfold different levels of understanding of Emptiness, they will probably be more fully understood and the practices more easily developed if taken in series

2009-01-31 The Empty Bell 37:07
Kittisaro
The chipmunk, the donkey and the dew drops Aspiration, despair, depression & Ajahn Chah’s encouragement Suffering for the sake of ending suffering Touching obstructions patience & kindness Giving credit for practice already done & the highest merit Like an empty bell
Dharmagiri Original Brightness Retreat

2009-01-31 Change of Lineage 44:43
Kittisaro
Direct knowing of emptiness Between existence and nihilism Emptiness isn’t empty, wonderful existence doesn’t exist Grasping & papanca is the root of birth and death Surface & depth of ocean is all water Change of lineage from reliance on papanca to pure knowing Angulimala and original hua t’ou – STOP

2009-01-31 Patience With Views and All Else 51:31
Ajahn Sucitto
In meditation, rather than getting involved with liking and disliking, we practise letting things just pass through. The movements are just shifts in energy. Learn how to move with the changes rather than reacting with sorrow, resistance or craving. Cultivate patience with your mind as it rattles on, and with a life that isn’t going the way you want, until the mind becomes big enough to hold it all.
