1994-12-30 The Five Hindrances 60:34
Guy Armstrong
The five hindrances are difficult and painful forces in the mind, but also potential sources for greater freedom in our lives. We transform ourselves moment after moment not by getting rid of these energies but by learning to wake up within them.

1994-02-05 Intention 52:39
Sylvia Boorstein
This Dharma talk given at the beginning of a metta retreat, notes that this is a practice of intention. It asks, "What are our goals? Where are we going with it?" Sylvia reminds us to be mindful of our intention in practice. Clarity of intention is a motivator of zeal. It can help us see where we are going. It can also fortify and strengthen our practice, helping us see through the painful resistance to loving. Sylvia shares some candid stories of her own beginning practice with some suggestions for enhancing our practice.
