2019-05-18 Commitment Is Necessary 57:03
Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
On the occasion of Vesak we are encouraged to make a commitment to training the heart. Then to steer the world of space and time we live in around that commitment. This is how actions (kamma) can build up helpful results and lead to the end of kamma.

2019-05-17 A Peaceful Abiding Is Possible 59:41
Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
We put energy into territory that can’t be under our sway, seeking security in systems and customs. What we do have sway over is this embodied mind. It can be trained to orient around wholesome qualities, and to realize that it’s most secure when clinging is released.

2019-05-17 Standing Meditation: Balance Is Conducive to Release 17:55
Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
The balance required in standing supports an uncontracted body. Lengthening, widening and deepening the somatic field, discordant energies, which may manifest as troubled moods, thoughts or impressions, can be ventilated and released.

2019-05-16 Patience 49:56
Kate Munding	Download Listen
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.

2019-05-16 Feeding What Feeds Us 56:26
Winnie Nazarko	Download Listen

2019-05-16 The Person Doesn’t Stop Clinging 59:04
Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
Clinging can’t be dealt with by the person. Meet it instead in the body where it manifests as stuck or numb places. Appropriate attention and the rhythm of breathing encourage constricted places to release, smoothing out the entire bodily field.

2019-05-16 Liberation through Non-Clinging 23:16
Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
Our reality is assembled from selected material that comes through the sense bases. As a result of craving and clinging, consciousness lands on particularly poignant material and continues the cycle of becoming and rebirth. Citta can be trained to handle material with dispassion rather than craving, awareness rather than clinging. The release of consciousness can be known.

2019-05-15 Grateful for This Moment of Life (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 51:28
Eugene Cash	Download Listen
Gratitude arises as the 5th Brahma Vihara. It is a quality of heart ripened by our coming into harmony with the reality of life and death. As we waken to the truth that this is the only moment there is, we discover the magic, mystery and beauty of simply Being.

2019-05-15 Compassion Towards All: Moving toward a Plant Based Diet 21:34
Tara Brach	View Download Listen
For most of human history it’s been “normal” to eat non-human animals. This is now changing. We are awakening to the massive suffering of the billions of animals killed each day for food, the horrors of the animal-food industry, and the impact it has on climate change (second only to fossil fuels.) In this short talk Tara shares her personal story of transitioning to a vegan diet, and invites listeners to investigate, without judgment, their own choices in this domain.

2019-05-14 The Wisdom of Walking and of Sheepdogs 50:26
Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
There are 3 kinds of wisdom: discernment, skillful means and realization. Walking meditation and appropriate mindfulness are skillful means for cultivation. Together they bring around a stewarding akin to that of the sheepdog that moves within the flock, not outside it. This results in the deep harmony of samādhi.

2019-05-13 Letting Go into Living and Dying (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 48:47
Eugene Cash	Download Listen
What it means to let go as we live and as we die. How can we begin relax with the fact that in actuality we can’t really hold on to anything? This truth helps us to come into alignment with the way things are! Reality is not static, it is ecstatic, always changing.
