Engaging the World: The Six Paramitas [2: Mindful Action]

32m · Published 06 Jan 22:36

This podcast focuses on the beneficial nature of mindful action (tsultrim) which is also translated as virtue or moral ethics. When we learn what to accept and what to reject based upon realization of the action and its result, we become a "container for enlightened activity". Mindful action and speech born of bodhicitta (our motivation and enlightened nature) moves us from ignorance and deception to wisdom and right living.

Engaging the World: The Six Paramitas [1: Generosity]]

31m · Published 17 Dec 14:39

The mission of the bodhisattva warrior is to engage the world from the view of bodhicitta nurtured through meditation. The six paramitas are "action methods" accomplishing this purpose. The six paramitas are defined as generosity, discipline, patience, exertion, meditation and wisdom. This podcast focuses on the great treasure of generosity (jinpa), which loosens the grip of self-centerdness and expands our capacity for love, compassion and genuine giving born of receptivity.

Nothing: Freedom in Non-Doing

28m · Published 09 Dec 21:09

To be free of suffering, one must stop struggling against what what arises as experience. When we examine our "assumptions" about our experience, a closed system of belief, we can awaken to mindfulness.

Minding Mind: Mindfulness for Everyday Living [Episode 7: Conclusion]

29m · Published 04 Nov 16:13

Mindfulness is creating awareness in and of every aspect of our experience. This concluding episode brings the attitudes of mindfulness and its techniques together. It challenges us to create discipline and spaciousness in our lives for the seeds of mindfulness to grow so that the fragrance of our personal "involution" permeates everything.

Minding Mind: Mindfulness for Everyday Living [Episode 6: The Body]

33m · Published 28 Oct 16:48

We are reminded in the Buddhist teachings of the preciousness of human birth, and more acutely reminded that the body is a vehicle for enlightenment. Yet many Western people have a negative image of their body obtained from religious dogma, exposure to Madison Avenue advertising or developmental experiences. In the practice of mindfulness, we use the natural rhythm of the body, the breath, to ground and focus our awareness. Through the use of the body scan technique, we can "re-body" ourselves by experiencing the body without perceptive filters. We simply feel in to each part of the body with total acceptance, non-striving and pure presence.

Minding Mind: Mindfulness for Everyday Living [Episode 5: Sitting Meditation]

36m · Published 21 Oct 16:30

Caught in a world of constant doing, most of us rarely find time for being. Constant action and striving for results leaves us tired, restless and a slave to the tyranny of mind and a constant stream of thoughts. We react and our emotions seem to control us. This appears to be the human condition. With the formal practice of meditation, we open ourselves to the inherent radiant nature of mind. We find a refuge of stability and basic goodness, sanity and mystery. We navigate through the inner topography of discursive thought and emotions to arrive at the oasis of calm abiding. This podcast provides a thorough overview of the technique, posture and preparation for sitting meditation, as well as the benefits of practice.

Minding Mind: Mindfulness for Everyday Living [Episode 4: The Breath]

31m · Published 14 Oct 16:29

The breath is the foundation of mindfulness. In connecting deeply with the breath through formal sitting and informal attention practices, we come to encounter all our experiences with mindfulness and spacious awareness. In so doing, our relationship to our experience changes dramatically. We recover our ability to act from conscious awareness rather that passive reactivity. John Kabat Zinn states this most succinctly in his book, Full Catastrophe Living. "It is the very simplicity of the practice of mindfulness of breathing that gives it its power to disentangle us from the compulsive and habitual hold of the mind's many preoccupations. Yogis have known this for centuries. Breathing is the universal foundation for meditation practice."

Minding Mind: Mindfulness for Everyday Living [episode 3]

33m · Published 30 Sep 18:19

The practice of mindfulness begins with attention to seven foundational attitudes. In this episode the final three attitudes are covered: non-striving, acceptance and non-grasping.
