2016-11-17 "Equanimity: Finding Balance In Difficult Times" 61:48
James Baraz	Download Listen
In times of uncertainty and emotionally charged situations the teachings show us the power of equanimity–a balance of mind and heart. This is very different from a resigned quietism. Equanimity involves the courage to feel all our intense emotions and act from a balanced, committed heart.

Discover the riches of the Noble Eightfold Path again and again. See into the depths of the mind by rightly remembering and using the Buddha's guidance not only in formal meditation practice but in every waking hour of daily life. Begin, sustain, and deepen the practice of clear seeing and understanding the Path. This is how we step out of suffering into true blessing and joyous freedom.

During scary and uncertain times, the habitual reflex is to try to find ground by creating stories about what’s happening and hardening into us-them blame. This only perpetuates the aggression and violence that is so prevalent in our societies. These two talks are a reflection on how we as awakening bodhisattvas can evolve our consciousness in a way that serves authentic societal healing and transformation.

The Buddha offers us an extraordinary medicine – the medicine of Truth. No one can take it for us nor can we take it for anyone else. And we discover it through our own wisdom, love, and compassion. We are the surgeon and the Dhamma is our saving grace. Even in the midst of the raging fires of the world or the fires of greed, hatred and delusion within us, we gain a foothold to the heart's peace.
