2022-03-05 Wise Acceptance and Wise Non-acceptance 1:27:19
Nathan Glyde
Getting to know our experience is so essential, and that is greatly deepened by accepting what has already arisen. But the Dharma is also about cultivation of beautiful, skilful, and wholesome qualities. And that also means abandoning unhelpful habitual ways of being and acting: wise non-acceptance is a part of wise and timely acceptance. This recording contains a guided meditation, Dharma reflection, and questions.

Bhante Bodhidhamma
The Verses describe the sort of wrong understanding that leads to the lower realms and those that lead to happy realms. The Six Realms of Existance can also be takes as human states of mind that each of experinces at one time on another in our lives. But if there is moral justice, thre must be some way that our karma works out towards Nibbana.

2022-03-03 Sad Heart, Breaking Heart: Working with the Invasion of Ukraine 58:10
James Baraz
The news of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is particularly sad and disturbing Although there are conflicts like this happening around the world, an unprovoked invasion from one of the strongest military countries in the world into a European country that could feasibly escalate into another world war is deeply unsettling. We explore as a community how our practice can help us hold all the feelings that may be arising. Includes a 7 minute clip of Joanna Macy explaining her Spiral from her "Work that Reconnects."
