Where the Flame of Truth Burns Bright
25:58
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi

Dhamma is like mother, father, guardian, the Truth that we can rest in. So rest in the purity of one moment. Offering to listen, what is the message we receive? In the silence of the mind, what do we hear? If there is no silence we listen more intently and dive more deeply. Where there is no past, no future, nothing to run away from, nothing to run towards, we stop to truly listen. And we see. This is pure presence - the gift of our attention. With the compass of the mind, open to the Dhamma. No where do we find any solid essence to call a self, a me, a mine. This is the most sacred knowing.

Restraining the Outflows
58:11

Ajahn Sucitto

All the world rests on very simple human emotions – fear, anxiety, loneliness, gratification. We run out because of them, or build walls to protect ourselves from them. Practice with restraint, keep coming back to here, now, knowing, it’s like this. Don’t run out, just return, and the outflows fade on their own.

Buddhist Psychology and the Enneagram Part 1
51:54
|
|
Tina Rasmussen
|
|
|
This talk explores Bikkhu Bodhi's advice to "take stock of ourselves," by exploring our relationship to the three "Personality Patterns" of Buddhism (also known as the Defilements.) Tina then relates these three patterns to the Inner Triangle of the Enneagram, and provides and overview of how to use the Enneagram as it was intended--as a spiritual tool, rather than just another way to be identified with the personality.
