Patience
49:56
|
|
Kate Munding
|
|
|
Patience in the Buddhist tradition is seen as a quality that becomes polished as we awaken our minds and hearts. The cultivation of patience becomes an art form; fluidly brought into the moment, imbued with flexibility, mindfulness, and Metta (loving-kindness). We need this quality to help us meet our selves, our neighbors, and the world with openness. Patience can help us be more grounded and present when we face that which makes us angry, fearful, or confused.

Meditation: Awakening Our Energy Body
19:49
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
This meditation scans the body and directly invites the awakening of key energy centers (chakras) in our body. We then rest in the openhearted awareness that includes this ever changing creative flow of aliveness. We close with a prayer of loving kindness.
"No matter how often the mind drifts, all that really matters is the quality of heart in the way you come back… to come back with interest and friendliness to this moment, then you plant those seeds for whatever else arises."

She discusses lovingkindness, joy in the good fortune of others, compassion and equanimity as well as the near and far enemies of these qualities.

The Joy Will Come
26:42
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
Joy can come with wise reflection and a pepper of difference. I learned this standing in town with my alms bowl as a mendicant nun one morning. Living for the sake of what is highest within us, we can each know the beauty, brilliance, and brightness of that joy and see how to nurture loving kindness and presence of mind. We learn to understand our predicament and forgive the brokenness and estrangements we have endured. We stand compassionate inwardly and to all, trusting our noble Dhamma inheritance to awaken in this very life.

Q&A differentiation and discernment, tension, goodwill
46:30
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Questions are paraphrased: 1. Given the stressfulness of differentiation, is choosing what kind of meditation to practice stressful? 2. (11:30) Is the undifferentiated, the signlessness – the same as emptiness? 3. (24:02) Could you repeat what you were saying about relaxing tense muscles 4. (37:25) What does it mean to imbue the heart with loving kindness, “likewise the second, likewise the third and likewise the fourth”? What is the all encompassing world…?

My Religion is Kindness – Part 2
32:38
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
Authentic kindness must include the life within us. These two talks examine the movement from an armored to a free and loving heart. The first looks at how we can awaken from the trance of unworthiness and establish a genuinely caring relationship with our inner life. In the second we explore how self-kindness awakens us to the heartspace that naturally includes all of life.
This talk is dedicated especially to youthful listeners on this solstice evening.
