    (Gaia House) The imperfectly perfect teacher: the Buddha's hesitation to teach, a lifelong ambivalence between blissful solitude and human engagement, the human & vs the ideal Buddha. How unconditioned can awakening really be? How perfectionistic are we? Equanimity not as flawless calm but as the ability to hold fluctuations with gentleness.

    (Gaia House) Impermanence through the image of the Little Prince's rose. Is everything really dukkha just because it's transient? More on samatha & vipassanā. Stages in relinquishing reactivity. The Buddha's awakening as a discovery of secular faith, connecting impermanence to beauty & care, liberation through mettā.

    (Gaia House) His (and our) addiction to both pleasure and suffering. The four efforts as different strategies of practice, moving from problem-fixing to sustaining naturally occuring non-reactivity. Samatha as settling the mind, vipassanā as understanding how that happened. The awakening factors, joy at the release of reactivity & the first jhāna.

    (Gaia House) A meditation, reflection, and responses to questions on the power of conceiving of ourselves as interconnected. With examples from Palestine, the meditation cushion, and living with illness and loss. In all cases, perhaps this transformative idea is more potent than it is true.
