1999-03-14 The Liberating News Of Impermanence 53:41
Sylvia Boorstein
Everything arises and passes away, like the breath. How to not be frightened by this or experience "existential angst" from inevitable loss in connection is often what brings us into practice. Liberation is in the heart that is wide enough to hold joy as well as the greatest pain of loss. In managing inevitable loss, we become kinder, softer, gentler and much more careful. To liberate "fixed point of view," we stay awake and attentive, always open for new insights to our stories about ourselves and others. Views change, bodies change, relationships change, but what does not change is the capacity of the heart to respond with compassion and lovingkindness.

1999-03-11 Samadhi Is Pure Enjoyment 47:42
Ajahn Sucitto
Samadhi, a Pali word, means meditative absorption or a state of concentration. This talk is an exploration of samadhi as the art of refined enjoyment. Approaching our meditation with receptivity, we carefully collect our attention for the full enjoyment of the present moment. This kind of attention is enjoyable and light, balanced and at ease.
