Come and See: The Beauty of the Dhamma (Retreat at Spirit Rock)
50:10
|
|
Devon Hase
|
|
|
The second refuge invites us into intimacy with truth: something alive, immediate, and here for us whenever we remember to look. Using the ancient chant of the Dhamma’s qualities (here and now, timeless, inviting us to come and see, leading inward), this talk explores awareness as a refuge that can hold even chronic pain and old grief with both equanimity and compassion. Drawing on the suttas, Thai Forest masters, and poets like John O’Donohue and Ada Limón, we turn to kalyāṇa, the Pali word for the Dhamma as beautiful in the beginning, middle, and end. Beauty shows up in our practice, our actions, and our spiritual friendships, and it can become a companion and guide on the path home.

Whatever Arises, Ceases: Impermanence from Stardust to This Breath (Retreat at Spirit Rock)
45:14
|
|
Devon Hase
|
|
|
At the moment of his awakening, Kondañña saw that whatever arises also passes away. This talk explores impermanence at three scales: the vast span of geologic and cosmic time, the arc of our own aging and mortality, and the moment-to-moment flicker of experience. Drawing on the suttas, poetry, and stories from practice, we look at how assuming permanence shapes our lives, and how seeing through it can open into awe, gratitude, and the freedom of letting go.

The Hidden Intelligence of Anger
52:46
|
|
Amma Thanasanti
|
|
|
A talk on The Hidden Intelligence of Anger - What is your anger trying to tell you? Anger may look like one thing, but it can arise from very different conditions. Anger rooted in violated boundaries is communicating something different from anger arising from grief, fear, shame, attachment wounds, injustice, or the frustration of not getting what we want. Because the conditions are different, each calls for a different response—and each can open into a different possibility for freedom. Rather than simply managing anger, expressing it, or trying to let it go, this talk explores what becomes possible when we learn to listen more precisely. What is this anger responding to? What is it protecting? What is it asking us to understand? Through meditation, teaching, and inquiry, we’ll explore anger as a doorway into greater discernment, choice, and freedom.

Equanimity: The Ground of Wise Action

|
|
Devon Hase
|
|
|
In this Dharma talk, devon hase explores equanimity not as indifference or withdrawal, but as a source of clarity, compassion, and courageous engagement with the world. Drawing on stories from Joseph Goldstein, Mingyur Rinpoche, and other beloved teachers, she invites us to discover the unshakable center from which wise action becomes possible.

Temporary Freedoms: The Third Tetrad of the Ānāpānasati Sutta (Retreat at Spirit Rock)
52:43
|
|
Devon Hase
|
|
|
This talk follows the breath into the mind itself: experiencing it, gladdening it, gathering it, and liberating it. Along the way we look at how samādhi and insight work together, and at the small, ordinary tastes of freedom that show a mind can feel light and unburdened. Drawing on long retreat stories, poems, and Pali, it asks what becomes possible once there is, for a moment, nothing to want.

The Power of Perception
43:37
|
|
Bart van Melik
|
|
|
How does perception shape our experience? And how easily can a perception become overthinking, obsessive thinking, or taking something personally? Together, we’ll explore how perceptions arise, which ones we may have outgrown, and which ones still pull us into repetitive stories. Drawing on the Buddhist teaching that what the mind frequently ponders becomes its inclination, we’ll explore how awareness can open new ways of relating to our experience.

Dharma talk: Finding Freedom in the Bumpy Ride
62:22
|
|
Jeanne Corrigal
|
|
|
Drawing on the four foundations of mindfulness and the Four Noble Truths, we explore the difference between the inevitable difficulties of human experience and the suffering that arises through grasping and resistance. By noticing feeling tone, reactivity, and the embodied qualities of tightness and ease, we can begin to recognize moments of release and cultivate a wiser relationship with experience.
Readings from The Life and Letters of Tofu Roshi by Susan Moon; Remembering How I Got Here in the First Place by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer; The Second Music by Annie Lighthart.
