Bodhicitta: Awakening human potential Blurb The energy of bodhicitta, the awakened heart/mind, is a beautiful counterbalance to the energies of the three poisons; greed, ill will and delusion. This talk begins with a short analysis of the institutionalization of the three poisons in our culture and then explores the inherent power of bodhicitta to help ameliorate suffering on all levels.

Tara Brach
By bringing a surrendering presence to mental, emotional and physical domains, we undo the trance of separation and discover our true nature. This talk explores the practices that cultivate the non-resisting space of presence, and the flavors of our essential being that are revealed: open awareness, love and a vibrant flow of awareness.

2012-05-01 TuePM-Awareness-Dissolves-Suffering 48:04
Eric Kolvig
“In separation,” the Buddha said, “lies the world’s great misery.” This talk shows how awareness dissolves our personal sense of being separate selves. It also shows how awareness deconstructs the misery-making effects of social constructions that cause us to feel separate, and that we also take to be “self”: race, gender, sexual identity, and class.

2012-05-01 Fundamentals of the Dharma: Generosity 57:07
Rodney Smith
Why is generosity a fundamental dharma issue? The dharma opens us beyond our self-limitations, and generosity is the essential direction of that opening. There is a balance between staying within ourselves and our understanding without idealizing the dharma while working with our edges that keep us contained within ourselves. Generosity is the authentic journey out of that container where we realize we were never alone or isolated. Generosity is the manifestation in action of connectedness and is the fundamental conduit of a life lived from the heart.

2012-04-30 Opening Our Hearts 59:25
Yanai Postelnik
We can at times feel our hearts closed or hardened into a sense of distance, or disconnection from life. As we feel deeply into our experience, we can learn to meet our pain, fear, anger and reactivity, with acceptance, kindness, and courage. In this journey, our heart naturally begins to soften, revealing its natural sensitivity and the profoundly connected openness of our life.
