Connecting Into Interconnection
1:24:06
|
|
Nathan Glyde
|
|
|
Can we live in a sense of interconnection: where meaningfulness has meaning; and sensitivity takes priority? And can we be willing to live from there? Where the necessary renunciations call us into deeper, nourishing connection. Includes a guided meditation, Dharma reflection, and responses to questions.

The Dharma of Good Leadership
57:27
|
|
James Baraz
|
|
|
When a leader has the welfare of the people as a priority the country prospers. When a leader cares only for themselves the country declines. This talk explores the Buddha's teaching on the qualities that make a good leader, the influence a leader has on the people and the story of an actual leader who underwent a transformation from a feared merciless ruler to one of great wisdom and compassion. We discuss how these teachings apply to our contemporary world.

Wise Acceptance and Wise Non-acceptance
1:27:19
|
|
Nathan Glyde
|
|
|
Getting to know our experience is so essential, and that is greatly deepened by accepting what has already arisen. But the Dharma is also about cultivation of beautiful, skilful, and wholesome qualities. And that also means abandoning unhelpful habitual ways of being and acting: wise non-acceptance is a part of wise and timely acceptance. This recording contains a guided meditation, Dharma reflection, and questions.

Bhante Bodhidhamma

The Verses describe the sort of wrong understanding that leads to the lower realms and those that lead to happy realms. The Six Realms of Existance can also be takes as human states of mind that each of experinces at one time on another in our lives. But if there is moral justice, thre must be some way that our karma works out towards Nibbana.

Sad Heart, Breaking Heart:
Working with the Invasion of Ukraine
58:10
|
|
James Baraz
|
|
|
The news of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is particularly sad and disturbing Although there are conflicts like this happening around the world, an unprovoked invasion from one of the strongest military countries in the world into a European country that could feasibly escalate into another world war is deeply unsettling. We explore as a community how our practice can help us hold all the feelings that may be arising. Includes a 7 minute clip of Joanna Macy explaining her Spiral from her "Work that Reconnects."

32 Parts of the Body Meditation: Discovering Freedom within the Body—Week 8 Closing of Class
32:56
|
|
Bob Stahl
|
|
|
Please join us for this 8-week “32 Parts of the Body” meditation class that has rarely been taught in the West. This practice will cultivate deeper insight into the true nature of the body and most importantly to help see through the identifications, conditionings, beliefs, and narratives – the erroneous view of self. It has also been used for healing illness. Various methods will be taught to strengthen mindfulness of the body and to explore the mind/body connection. Each class will consist of silent and guided meditation, chanting of the body parts and small and large group discussion. These teachings and practices will help develop greater clarity, wisdom, and compassion; and foster the depth of practice.
