2016-04-28 The Story of Devadatta: Lust for Power in the Buddha's Time 52:51
James Baraz	Download Listen
Devadatta, the Buddha's cousin and brother-in-law, joined the Order in the early years with good intentions. Over time his jealousy and obsession with power turned him into the Buddha's main enemy. This dramatic story, reading like a Hollywood screenplay, gives us lessons in just what hunger for power can drive someone to do and the Buddha's wise responses to the various threats he faced.

Tara Brach	Listen to tracks Show 2 Tracks
True listening both nurtures and expresses evolving consciousness. This talk explores our ego-based conditioning to have an agenda or defendedness that prevents deep listening, and the strategies that evolve our capacity to listen fully to ourselves and others. When our listening is openhearted and full, it enables deep understanding and connectedness, and provides a transformative healing space for those who receive our listening attention.

The great heart's natural response to pain and suffering is compassion and equanimity, released by directly handling experience through embodiment. Without the natural ground of embodiment there is a tendency towards differentiation and forming abstractions about self and other that create separation.

In the embodied state body and mind are not separate. The somatic sense, or internal sense, is a mirror of what's happening to citta. This sense is more accurate than thoughts – which tend towards an abstraction that diverts awareness from unpleasant feeling.
