2008-10-22 Practicing With Fear - part I 58:16
Donald Rothberg
Fear is a very powerful force in our lives- personally, interpersonally and socially. What is fear and how do we work with it? Here we explore the nature of fear and its complex nature as involving intelligence and an urge to action, but also commonly reactivity and delusions. We suggest several main ways of practicing, 1) coming back to balance through antidotes such as metta, beauty and refuges in our deeper values; 2) mindfulness; 3) wisdom and 4) active inquiry and engagement with our own fear.

2008-10-19 Kathina Talk 2008-Great Heart 43:19
Ajahn Sucitto
Renunciation sounds painful, but it’s actually a very useful thing to be able to do. Rather than seeking the beautiful and the good where it can’t be found, we consider what is actually needed. We find the heart is enriched through acts of generosity and sharing, and through these, we get what we need.
