Dharma Talks
2018-02-04 Chanting and Elements of the Imaginal (3 - 5) 39:34
Catherine McGee
The talks and exercises from this 'Tending the Holy Fire' retreat are intended for experienced practitioners who already have a working familiarity with this particular Soulmaking paradigm, as outlined, for example, in the following retreats: 'The Path of the Imaginal (Longer Course)'; 'Re-enchanting the Cosmos: The Poetry of Perception'; and 'Of Hermits and Lovers: The Alchemy of Desire'. Integrating that previous material and also taking the talks in this new set in their intended order will, for most, support a better and fuller understanding of the teachings from this course. Without this practice and knowledge base, the material from this retreat may be confusing and unhelpful.

2018-02-04 AM - The movement and the mover 49:12
Ajahn Sucitto
What is it that moves us? In the business model, getting things done is generally what drives us. It’s not about appreciation the quality of experience, it’s about arriving at an end result. That root perception gets embedded. The nature of kamma is that the root quality of the intention will appear in the action and also appear in the result. Still the mind, and separate out mental intention from body energy. Mental intention sets up the aim, then let the body follow through with action.

2018-02-04 Aimless walking (instruction with 30 minute silence) 3:43
Ajahn Sucitto
How is walking when there is nowhere particular to go and you want to know how this whole thing operates together? An encouraged skilful means is aimless walking. Frequent pauses to check energies and perceptions, come back into the feet and legs, how does it feel to be in this body now? [Instructions end 3:38]

2018-02-04 AM - Cultivate in accordance with ‘sappaya’: what is suitable and fitting - 20m meditation 33:01
Ajahn Sucitto
In meditation we can be confronted with inertia or pushing hindrances. Recommendation is to use physical enactment of energy - bowing, chanting -so you’re not gliding along but rising up into the occasion. Cultivate with a sense of sappāya, that which is appropriate, comfortable, manageable. Finding a frame of reference that can support moving against hindrances with patience and opening. This must be a fundamental aim in meditation. [Instructions end 12:43]

1. Could you say more about the citta? 2. (6:47) I believe you suggested this (the conditions for the citta to understand) is where things have to be undone. Could you explain this please? 3. (31:10) Could you talk about “the patience that crosses over”? 4. (44:00) If you know someone who is very dishonest and a Buddhist, what is the most appropriate way to interact?

2018-02-02 Wie wir durch unsere Sichtweisen die Welt gestalten 59:26
Yuka Nakamura
Durch die Art, wie wir schauen und wahrnehmen, erschaffen wir unsere Welt. Dharmapraxis hilft uns, uns dieses Prozesses gewahr zu werden und weniger in gewohnten, täuschenden Wahrnehmungen gefangen zu bleiben. Und sie eröffnet uns die Möglichkeit bewusst mit Sichtweisen zu spielen und solche Sichtweisen zu wählen, die unseren Herzgeist befreien.
