Our practice is a unique opportunity to develop our deepest potential for happiness as human beings. We use the skills of interior investigation with patience and courage to study the intimate workings of the mind. Well-guided by the Buddha’s teachings, we gradually learn intuitively how to direct ourselves on this path of wholesomeness and devotion. By trusting our spiritual practice, we are strengthened, growing inwardly as we directly experience freedom from fear and the heart's true compassion.

Gullu explores Vendana (Hedonic Tone) which is a central and vital Buddhist teaching and the speaks about the Sallata Sutta which explores how we make our suffering worse with resistance, seeking pleasure to cover over the pain, and over-identifying with pain.

The Anguttara Nikaya is one of the five Nikayas (collections) that constitute the Sutta Pitaka, which is part of the Pali Tipitaka, the Theravada Buddhist canon.
It is also known as the "Numerical Discourses" or "Gradual Collection".
The Anguttara Nikaya is organized numerically, with suttas grouped into eleven books (nipatas) based on the number of items discussed within them. For example, the "Book of the Ones" contains suttas about a single topic, the "Book of the Twos" contains suttas about pairs of things, and so on

Energy: The Lifeblood of the Buddhist Path

The talk explores virya (energy) as a multidimensional quality essential to Buddhist practice, discussing how it functions as the "rudder and motor" that propels practitioners forward while serving as an antidote to sloth and torpor. Dawn shares personal experiences of struggling with having "too much energy" and feeling like a "bad yogi," while illuminating how embracing this quality in all its manifestations—from mild interest to balanced effort—can transform one's practice and cultivate joy. The talk invites practitioners to connect with what they trust in and have confidence in as a way to spark the balanced energy that brings forth the joy of practicing.
