Learn how understanding and observing this “wanting consciousness” in daily life can lead from desire to wisdom.

In this episode, we continue exploring rootless consciousness—states of awareness that arise without mental roots of greed, hatred, or delusion. Building on Part One, we dive deeper into the 18 types of rootless consciousness, grouped as unwholesome, wholesome, and functional. Each is shaped by three factors: its nature, feeling (pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral), and kind of consciousness.Through vivid explanations, this talk shows how our sensory experiences—seeing, hearing, touching, and thinking—reflect past karma, and how neutral or pleasant feelings arise from these subtle mental processes. It also examines rare forms of consciousness unique to enlightened beings, such as the smile-producing consciousness of the Buddha and arahants.Tune in to gain a clearer understanding of how consciousness functions beneath the surface of everyday awareness, bridging theory and meditative insight on the path toward liberation.YouTube Video LinkYouTube Channel Link Website:www.satipatthana.caDonations and Memberships

This episode explores the Buddhist concept of bhavaṅga, or the “life continuum” — the stream of consciousness that connects one moment to the next, and even one life to another. It explains how our unique personalities at birth may arise from past lives, carried through this subtle flow of awareness.We also look at how consciousness operates between wakefulness and deep sleep, and how every perception — seeing, hearing, thinking — unfolds through a rapid series of thought moments. Using the vivid “falling mango” analogy, we uncover how these moments shape our experiences and generate karma. Tune in to understand how the mind's hidden processes influence who we are and the path our lives take.YouTube Video LinkYouTube Channel Link Website:www.satipatthana.caDonations and Memberships

This talk describes to how past karma patterns present experience—and how mindful attention stops old patterns from creating new ones. We explore the meaning of rootless consciousness (ahituka) in Buddhist teaching — the states of mind that arise without the “roots” of greed, hatred, or delusion, but also without the wholesome roots of generosity or wisdom. These moments of awareness don't create new karma; instead, they're the results of our past actions unfolding in the present. These moments are the ripened results of past actions—brief flashes of awareness that don't create new karma. Think of them as memories of past deeds showing up in the present, coloring how things feel and happen.We'll sketch the simple map: there are 18 rootless states in three groups—unwholesome resultants, wholesome resultants, and a small set of functional states that simply do their job and leave no trace. You'll also hear why enlightened minds (the Buddha and arahants) experience some of these functional states without creating new karma. Tune in to learn how recognizing these subtle moments can free you from repeating old patterns and support mindful practice.Notice the moments that only echo the past—so you don't keep replaying them.YouTube Video LinkYouTube Channel Link Website:www.satipatthana.caDonations and Memberships
