2007-11-10 What Versus Why 53:58
Andrea Fella
As human beings, we often try to understand our experience by asking the question “why”. But instead exploring “what” is happening, we can come to know the “why” of the present moment which opens to an understanding of the cause and effect nature of experience, and points towards to freedom.

2007-11-08 A Question of Faith 60:10

2007-11-07 Practicing With Thoughts And Emotions II: Invoking Inquiry, Wisdom, And Antidotes 65:16
Donald Rothberg
In the second session on practicing with thoughts and emotions, we complement the first session's focus on the more receptive practice of mindfulness. After a review of mindfulness, we explore three more active approaches: (1) deepening mindfulness through inquiry, (2) invoking wisdom through clear comprehension, (3) providing antidotes through invoking lovingkindness, compassion, and other beautiful states.
