2011-10-05 Getting Down to Direct Experience 59:47
Donald Rothberg	Download Listen
The essence of our practice is to learn ever better to respond rather than react to experience. Using the model of the "Ladder of Inference," we see how we, when reactive, move away from more direct experience-personally, inter personally and socially. We then explore practices to help us "get down."

Sally Armstrong	Download Listen
The Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths – the truths of suffering, the cause of suffering , the end of suffering and the path to the end of suffering – not as a philosophy, but as practices that we can use here and now to understand why we suffer and how to find release. Using this template to gain insight into our lives can bring a radical shift to the way we relate to our experience.

Ajahn Sucitto	Download Listen
One particular faculty of mind is ability of step back and review the noise of the mind. It’s an amazingly remedial quality, to be able to hold our doubts and difficulties in this way. You don’t get an answer, but you get a result. The deconstruction of suffering, of stress.

James Baraz	Download Listen
The Buddha was called The Happy One. With the emphasis on suffering, its cause and it’s end, we can forget that this path is really a path of cultivating true happiness. In this talk we look at three principles of the teaching that can be the foundation for true well-being and how it can be cultivated both on and off the cushion.
