2007-11-29 The Dharma Is Not The Dharma 60:04
Thanissara
Buddhism + the Dharma is the peel left behind. The immediacy of here and now Dharma. Disenchantment as a doorway is the transcendent. The irritation that rubs to the pearl. The immovable suchness of Being.

2007-11-25 Sakkaya Ditthi: Who Do I Take Myself To Be? 58:00
Sharda Rogell
Our mind becomes obsessed with three views that define who we take ourselves to be, me, mine and myself. Born from confusion about the way things are, we see ourselves and others in a narrow, contracted way and lose contact with our deepest nature. This talk is a clear and candid exploration that encourages practicing with awareness to find out what is true about this person I take myself to be.

2007-11-24 Time and the Emptiness of Time 56:55
Rob Burbea
Time is one of the fundamental aspects of existence we usually take for granted, leaving its seeming ‘reality’ unquestioned. But Dharma practice and inquiry can puncture and shatter our belief in the real independent existence of time – both the past/future and the present/the ‘Now’, and, in so doing, open awareness up to a truly inconceivable and immeasurable liberation.
