Ayya Medhanandi
Step by step instructions on developing meditation practice by beginning with close attention to the breath. Gradually investigate the impermanent nature of wanting, aversion, sleepiness, restlessness, and doubt as they arise and overcome these five obstacles to practice. With curiosity and determination, return again and again to the breath. As the mind is stilled and purified, explore the clarity, calm and spaciousness of its vast inner depths.

2007-04-05 Time To Defragment 33:51
Ayya Medhanandi
The Buddha gives us lessons in freeing ourselves but there are critical choices to be made - an emptying out, a readiness, a rising up, a deep yearning for truth. We are compelled to trust so completely to wake up to the peace in our hearts, offering the best we can. It's a harvest of wisdom. And in this remarkable learning, we receive the great gift of a love, a compassion, a kindness that pervades us and, in turn, allows us to extend it to all beings.

2007-03-28 Developing Energy In Our Practice: Wise Effort - part 1 46:42
Donald Rothberg
Developing energy and effort in our practice is crucial. In its mature form, effort becomes “effortless” but on the way, we need to support our practice’s energy both generally and moment-to-moment. We look at the traditional teaching of the four “wise efforts,” adding some contemporary metaphors, especially drawn from Kayakins.

A personal understanding of 7 aphorisms from the 7 points mind training offered to the young adults at a retreat at IMS. Consider all phenomena to be a dream. Don't brood over the faults of others. Don't be swayed by outer circumstances. Be grateful to everyone. Explore the nature of unborn awareness. Always rely on a joyful mind. Don’t expect a standing ovation.
