2018-10-01 "Playground of the Mind: Exploring Bhikkhu Analayo's Brahma Vihara and Emptiness Practices" 54:29
James Baraz
"This is a talk given at James Baraz's Insight Meditation Community of Berkeley." James recently sat with Ven. Bhikkhu Analayo, an extraordinary Buddhist scholar and meditation teacher. He shares some of the teachings and practices that he learned on the Brahma Viharas and how they can help lead to deeper perceptions of emptiness including infinite space and infinite consciousness. The talk gives a glimpse of the value of experimenting and playing with the mind. With Ven. Analayo's permission, James' takes us on a quick journey through some rather profound terrain. So let whatever your experience or non-experience be okay. For a deeper dive into the material the listener is referred to Ven. Analayo's book: Compassion and Emptiness in Early Buddhist Meditation: Compassion and Emptiness in Early Buddhist Meditation.

2018-09-27 Metta is Empty of Self - Let It Go Everywhere 59:53
Nathan Glyde
Exploring how Metta is empty: How it transforms into compassion, joy, or equanimity depending on the contact. How the very expression depends on other factors: compassion is not one type of action. And how we can expand our sense of who we can radiate these infinite qualities to. And then how that also contributes to a clear view of the fabrication of not-self elements into a sense of self.
