 In this talk, we explore the Buddhist teaching of Anattā (non-self) as it appears in everyday life. Through simple examples like eating, seeing, aging, and thinking, the speaker explains how mind and body function through cause and effect rather than a permanent “self” or soul. Listeners are encouraged to observe daily experiences mindfully to develop a direct, experiential understanding of non-self and deepen their meditation practice. YouTube Video LinkYouTube Channel Link Website:www.satipatthana.caDonations and Memberships

He's the "Buddha of Bourbon," the "Master Distiller's Master Distiller," and the living heart of Wild Turkey. I'm talking, of course, about the legendary Jimmy Russell.

It turns out The Kingdom of Heaven and The Western Pure Land may have a few things in common...

This talk explores Right Livelihood as a living inquiry rather than a rigid moral rule, asking how we can earn a living without gradually betraying our values, vitality, or sense of dignity. Grounded in the Buddha's teachings and everyday work life, the talk examines the ethical foundation of do no harm, the importance of inner congruence between what we do and what we feel in our bodies, and the often-overlooked relational impact of our work—how it shapes our patience, speech, and capacity for care. Rather than idealizing purity, the talk brings a grounded, compassionate lens to the real tensions people face around money, responsibility, and meaning.   You'll learn how to recognize subtle ways work can create inner fragmentation, how to listen to bodily signals and conscience as guides to integrity, and how to assess whether your livelihood is making you more humane or more armored. The talk also offers a wise, practical approach to compromise—showing how to live in the world as it is without collapsing into cynicism or self-betrayal, and how to take small, sane steps toward a livelihood that supports both survival and awakening.

Norman Fischer gives the thirteenth talk of the Dhammapada series to the Everyday Zen dharma seminar.  The Dhammapada or “Path of Dharma” is a collection of verses in the Pali Canon that encapsulates the Buddha’s teachings on ethics, meditation and wisdom and emphasizes practical guidance for living a virtuous life.

 In this talk, we explore the forty types of supramundane (lokuttara) consciousness and how they arise through insight meditation. The teacher explains the relationship between jhāna, path consciousness, and fruition consciousness, showing how different meditation approaches can lead to the same stages of awakening. By understanding these mental processes, listeners gain insight into non-self (anattā) and learn how Buddhist psychology supports deep mindfulness and spiritual development. YouTube Video LinkYouTube Channel Link Website:www.satipatthana.caDonations and Memberships

The old story about a good wolf and bad wolf that live in our minds aligns beautifully with the Buddha's teachings on cultivating what's beneficial and letting go of what isn't.

Something To Think About Series #329 Thought of the day from Venerable Robina Courtin

What has love got to do with it? Love and compassion is what drives most people to a spiritual path, but it is in fact more advanced. If you look at the Lamrim, the packaging of Buddha's teachings, they're in a nice orderly way, according to the capacity of the disciple. I prefer to call it - junior school, high school, and university. Love and compassion are taught in university. That's a big surprise to us. There's the wisdom wing and the compassion wing, a bird needs two wings. The wisdom wing, which is all about you, is like self compassion, self love. Buddha doesn't talk like that, but it's how we talk in the west, it's how you take care of yourself. So of course if you hear about self love, you hear about having a relax and a nice massage, you can do that too, but that's not Buddha's approach. If you don't start working on your mind, then you can never change, you'll never get happy. The Buddha's first teachings - the four noble truths - he's telling us exactly what to do if we want to be happy. Guess what! - it's not to get someone else to make us happy, or to get the nice cake or vacation - but to work on our own mind! That means we have to understand what he means. What he means is that in the mind we have a bunch of neuroses, the voices of ego, attachment, anger, and the rest. Surprisingly to us, they don't come from outside, they're triggered by the outside, but the cause of them is in our own mind. These tendencies are the source of our suffering. So self love for the Buddha is getting rid of these, working on your mind, that's how you get happy. That's how you take care of yourself. Very surprising! Then when you've done that, to the degree that you've done it, is the degree to which you open your eyes and realise we're all in the same boat. So then you're able to understand others, and now you can help them, by giving them love and compassion, kindness and patience. It's very logical. Why is it difficult to have love and compassion for others? If we haven't worked on our own minds, this is the problem, we leap in and make a mess half of the time, because we haven't sorted out our own minds. We haven't identified attachment, we haven't identified the source of our own pain. So we rush out and try to be kind and loving to others and then wonder why things go wrong. Or why you're out there helping others and you feel like you're being abused and misused for being a nice person. Or you help others during difficult times and you get dragged down and depressed by the amount of suffering. So we assume that being kind to others is why we're suffering. No - you are not suffering because you are kind to others, you are suffering because you have attachment. We have to work on the wisdom wing first, really work on our own minds, mind our own business, work on our body, speech, and mind. Buddha's teachings on the four noble truths are addressed to us, this is the inner job, like retreat mode. This is absolutely vital, it's the starting point for practice. On the basis of success at this, you can see others, and now you can begin to be of benefit to others, without making a mess. Questions include - what does His Holiness mean when he says no enemy inside - no enemy outside, compassion for the person who harms another, getting angry at our self, how do we transform love for family into love without attachment, 'good enough dear' by Lama Yeshe, 'this is a pretty cup' is an opinion but is 'this is a cup' also an opinion, sensory and mental consciousness, can a person believe in a creator and also Buddha's teachings, is forgiveness a step on the path or is it just about the I, and techniques to work with strong aversion? Valentine's Day 2024 teaching and Q & A at Tse Chen Ling Center for Tibetan Buddhist Studies in San Francisco.

Dharma talk by Melissa Myozen Blacker, Rōshi, on February 10, 2026

(London Insight Meditation) Joy is an important aspect of the Buddha's path to freedom, appearing as both an awakening factor and one of the four heart qualities known as the brahmavihāra. However, for many people it can feel elusive - or even irrelevant – in the midst of so much global, societal and individual suffering. For this reason, the word Joy in the title of this talk is accompanied by question marks, as an invitation for us to explore together some common questions and/or doubts that often come up in relation to joy in the context of insight practice. Together we'll discover some of the ways that cultivating joy can help nourish the heart and deepen wisdom, even amid the challenging everyday realities that most of us face.

In this enlightening episode, Bahar is joined by Manish Mallas, a neuroscience-informed mindfulness teacher whose lineage traces back to the Buddha himself. Blending ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience, Manish brings clarity and depth to the practice of mindfulness for contemporary life. The conversation explores the transformative power of mindfulness, breathwork, and emotional regulation, revealing how these tools can enhance presence, performance, and peace, especially during midlife transitions. Together, they discuss the role of ancestry in shaping spiritual awareness, the science behind meditation and breath, and the importance of taking radical personal responsibility for one’s emotional wellbeing. Manish also unpacks how scent and sensory awareness can influence emotional states and how a consistent mindfulness practice can lead to profound personal awakening. This episode, in partnership with Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat, invites listeners to slow down, look inward, and embrace the art of conscious living in a distracted world. Key Takeaways Mindfulness is a practical pathway to transformation. Breathwork is fundamental for emotional regulation and optimal performance. Heritage and ancestry deepen the understanding of mindfulness. Science and spirituality together strengthen awareness. Scent profoundly influences emotional states. Presence in daily life builds resilience and calm. Starting small with mindfulness creates lasting change. Retreats deepen the connection to self and purpose. Midlife can be a powerful time for awakening. Radical responsibility fuels emotional growth and freedom.

Ajahn Dhammasiha talks about the 4 kinds of Karma the Buddha has expounded: Dark Karma (Sanskrit 'Karma' = Pāli 'Kamma'): Bad actions like killing, stealing etc Bright Karma: Compassion, Kindness, Contentment, Truthfulness etc. Mixed Karma: A blend of various dark & bright actions. Karma that leads to the end of Karma The last one is the most profound and difficult to understand: Karma that's neither dark nor bright, but leads to the ending of Karma, awakening, the realisation of Nibbāna.

In this episode, you'll discover how the Buddha's teachings illuminate the path to understanding suffering and attachment. Margaret explores key concepts, such as the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, while weaving in her own narrative of grief and healing. Through rich storytelling and insightful discussions, she offers a fresh perspective on how we can learn to navigate the ever-changing nature of life with grace and clarity. Join Margaret as she shares wisdom from her book, Sitting with Death, and sets the tone for what promises to be a meaningful exploration of how we can live more fully by embracing the impermanence that surrounds us.

February 8, 226: May God's words be spoken, may God's words be heard.  Amen. You know, when I left Minneapolis and the -35 windchill weather, I did NOT remember packing that cold air to bring back to New Jersey.  Lordy!  I had hoped to leave that behind, but it is smacking us in the face now, isn't it?  I am glad to be inside this time, rather than out in it for hours marching down the street.  I am also grateful to those of you who ventured out into this insane cold to be here this morning. Perhaps we all have a better appreciation for the people of Minneapolis and all they do in weather colder than this. So, given all the ice that is around these days, on the sidewalks and armed in the street of our cities, I was glad to hear the texts for today.  In the gospel we are hearing part of the sermon on the mount.  After the familiar “Blessed are those…” statements we call the beatitudes, Jesus then says “You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.  “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.” “You are the salt of the earth.” “You are the light of the world.” Well, that's good news – considering both will melt ice (come to think of it – maybe that is an appropriate acronym then for that armed band of hate enforcers – it shows just how vulnerable they really are). But here's the thing about this proclamation of Jesus…he isn'tinviting us to those things.  He is telling us that we already ARE those things.  This isn't a choice folks.  We are salt.  We are light. Then he offers absurd comments about salt losing its saltiness and hiding a light under a bushel basket.  Jesus did have a sense of humor, and clearly his sarcasm is showing here, because salt cannot lose its saltiness, and no one would put a basket over an open flame, which is what a light would be in those days.  Both scenarios are ridiculous, but then again, Jesus wasn't trying to offer a science or fire safety lesson.  He is preaching and being a bit cheeky to make a point, as he sometimes does.  So, what was Jesus trying to tell his followers – then and now?  I am reminded of two sayings by the Buddha: “Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”  And, “There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.” Some have suggested that Jesus studied Buddhist principles in India during his early adult life, but whether he did or he didn't, he is certainly preaching them here.  He wants humanity to understand a fundamental truth – our very essence – in the hope that we will honor that truth within ourselves, allowing God to shine in us and through us.  We can turn away, we can forget, we can get lost…but the truth of who we are cannot be hidden – not to God anyway.  And, as the Buddha says, the path to understanding that truth is only impossible if we don't try, or we stop trying. But still, what does it mean for us to live this truth – what does that look like in our lives?  Well, maybe we need to think about what salt and light do, particularly for those in the time of Jesus, to understand how important it is for us to be what we were born to be. The thing is, we are so far removed from what these things would have meant to the people in the Ancient Near East, that the meaning of Christ's metaphor may be lost to us.  We have refrigeration and electricity. But they did not.  Salt was a way to preserve the life of meat and fish, and to enhance its flavor, and it was used in health regimens.  It was so important to them that Roman soldiers were sometimes paid with salt – hence the word we use today – salary – sal being the Latin for salt.  And light – well, in these dark days of winter, even with our electricity, we can understand the value of that, but imagine living where there is no electric light.  It is hard for us now, but if you think about it – in the long history of the world, there has been less than 150 years of light bulbs.  In the time of Jesus, and up until 1880, there was the sun, and then there were oil lamps, candles, fires, moonlight, and torches for the night.  Light then and now makes it possible to see dangers in the night, to keep warm, and to thrive, and without the light of the sun, life would be impossible. Jesus is telling us that we can enhance and preserve life and overcome darkness for the world.  But note – not for ourselves alone.  Salt's very purpose is to enhance or preserve life.  The purpose of light isn't to shine for itself, but to illuminate other things, to dispel the darkness.    If we are the salt of the earth, and the light of the world – and we are – then what does that mean in practical terms for us now?  We get that answer in the passage from Isaiah we heard earlier. First, we need to understand the setting:  The powerful elite who benefited from the oppression of others believes its pious rituals of fasting will please God.  But God tells them that there is only one fast that is righteous – the one that comes from a place of empathy and compassion, not haughtiness and privilege.  In words we will hear again on Ash Wednesday, God makes it clear that only a fast from oppression by loosening the bonds of injustice, and freeing the captives, is what we are to offer.  Only a fast from abundance by caring and feeding the poor and the hungry, will be acceptable to God.  Notice then, that the acts God wants from us are not ones that draw attention to ourselves, or are miraculous feats, but are ones that serve others.  The truth that Jesus is asking us to see is that we are the salt that will give life to those who have been pushed to the brink of death. We are the light that will overcome the darkness of hate and division.  We live this truth when we offer the fasts God chooses – compassion, mercy, grace, and love in whatever small way we can.  Or, as our own Anglican archbishop, the late Most Rev. Desmond Tutu, put it “Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” And so that brings me to the Olympics.  How many of you watched the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Games Friday? It was wonderful.  But there was a message there too that we need to consider today. The theme of this Olympiad is Armonia, meaning Harmony, and of course – the parade of athletes is always one of the best parts.  But this Olympiad's opening ceremonies had a message for the world too.  Sure, like all them, it celebrated the beauty and gift of the host country's culture, in this case, Italy, but far more was going on this time.  It was essentially a colorful display of diversity, and the hope for harmony in a world filled with conflict and division.  From red, yellow, and blue paint seemingly pouring down onto the platform from enormous suspended paint tubes, to multi-colored swirls of people dancing across the platform, the message of harmony amid difference was hard to miss.  But it was the speech of Kirsty Coventry, a seven-time Olympic swimming medalist, and the 10th President of the International Olympic Committee, given just before the lighting of the Olympic flame, that I think offered the world a good definition of what it means to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, even if that was not her intent. Speaking first to the athletes, Ms. Coventry said “Over the next two weeks, you're going to give us something truly special.  You'll show us what it means to be human. To dream. To overcome. To respect one another. To care for each other.  You'll show us that strength isn't just about winning – it's about courage, empathy and heart. You will not only make incredible memories. You will reach your Olympic dreams – and you will show the world how to live. This is why we all love the Olympic Games. Because through you, we see the very best of ourselves. You remind us that we can be brave. That we can be kind. And that we can get back up, no matter how hard we fall.” Then she addressed everyone, saying “And to everyone watching, here in Italy and around the world – thank you for joining this moment. Thank you for believing in the magic of the Olympic Games. When we see an athlete stumble and find the strength to rise, we are reminded that we can do the same. When we see rivals embrace at the end of a finish line, we are reminded that we can choose respect. When we see grace, courage and friendship – we remember the kind of people we all want to be. The spirit of the Olympic Games is about so much more than sport. It is about us – and what makes us human. In Africa, where I'm from, we have a word: ubuntu. It means: I am because we are. That we can only rise by lifting others. That our strength comes from caring for each other. No matter where you come from, we all know this spirit – it lives and breathes in every community. I see this spirit most clearly at the Olympic Games. Here, athletes from every corner of our world compete fiercely – but also respect, support and inspire one another. They remind us that we are all connected, that our strength comes from how we treat each other, and that the best of humanity is found in courage, compassion and kindness.” Coventry was telling everyone that the very things the athletes embody at the games are examples for all of us.  Jesus might call their example being salt and light.  God might say “Yup – do that!” I just want her to come preach here some Sunday. Now, in the audience that night was the US Vice-President, and watching were millions across our nation.  I can only hope that her message, and that of these games, sinks deep into their hearts, because clearly the scriptures they claim to believe in have not.  But, whether or not that happens, she is right, we all can take a lesson from those athletes, especially followers of Jesus, because it is a model for our lives in Christ. Of courses, when we watch these games, and see the competitors fly through the air, twisting and turning, speeding down icy tracks, or spinning effortlessly on ice, we should remember – that isn't what God is asking of you.  Remember the passage from Isaiah – it isn't the great feats, but the compassion, kindness, and respect they share that we are to model.  Each of us will be salt and light in the way God has gifted us to be, so long as we model that.  Remember too that every athlete at those games started as a small child of God with a calling.  To be where they are today, they had to make a small start.  The skier had to put on a pair of skis and be willing to go down the bunny slope for the first time.  The skater had to strap on skates and put their feet on the ice.  And, to get where they are today, they had to train constantly, get up after they fell or failed, and get back out there to live their truth. It is as the Buddha said: “There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.”  We have to start, and then we have to keep going, even if we fall. And there is more to what we can learn from these athletes to help us in our own quest to do what we are called to do.  One of the sponsors of the Olympics is a mattress company.  And in the ads, the athletes remind viewers that rest isn't a break from training – it is a part of their training.  Without it, they would break and never make it. The same is true for us who are salt and light.  We too need rest from our training, our continued work in the world.  And we get that renewal here at this table, and among the fellowship we find here in Christ.  So, today we rest. Tomorrow we do what those athletes do – show the world what is possible when we are strong enough for empathy and courageous enough for love. You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world. There is no one who can keep you from that truth but yourself, and there is no time that truth is needed more than now. Amen.

This is a new version of one of our first episodes, that I remade because the sound was a bit harsh and uneven when I started the podcast. I also added a few elements to the script. In this bedtime story, I tell you all about Buddhism: the beliefs and culture of Ancient India; the life of Siddartha Gautama, the historical Buddha; how Buddhism spread in Asia; the differences between various Buddhist traditions (Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana, Zen, Tibetan or Tantric Buddhism...); and I explain a lot of terms that you might have encountered without knowing their full meanings, like Vedas, Karma, Middle Way, Samsara, Tantra and Mantra. #sleep #bedtimestory #asmr #sleepstory #history #buddhism #buddhist Welcome to Lights Out Library Join me for a sleepy adventure tonight.

Silver Quintette - "Sinner's Crossroads" [As early as 3000 BC the Roman and Cretan civilizations were using candles on altars to help receive the blessings and needs that they desired. Today it is no different. Practically, every religion uses spiritual candles on altars as part of rituals for Easter, Passover, or offerings to Buddha. Spiritual candles are used with magical oils and incense, both in community gatherings or private mediations for help to focus on the blessings and the needs that are desired. Spiritual candles will help you pray and focus your thoughts and desires to help you receive more wealth, happiness, and control of your situations.

Distinguishing aspiration from striving with ego, Joseph Goldstein gives listeners permission to have a sense of purpose along their spiritual path.This week on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein discusses:Having a sense of purpose within the impersonal nature of all things Aspiration: understanding why we are practicing What the Buddha said about purpose and aspiration on The Eightfold PathSeeing the world objectively without reference to the selfBeing a great faith follower versus a dharma followerResting in our practice and letting go of unhealthy striving Insight Meditation Society and its commitment to diversity Maintaining the right attitude and openness to all experiencesThis episode was recorded at the Insight Meditation Society Forest Refuge and originally published on Dharmaseed"The Buddha definitely laid out a goal. The Eightfold Path leads someplace—it's not just meandering around, not going any place. The Eightfold path is leading to awakening, to enlightenment. We can have that aspiration which sets the direction for our practice, we can say that is a sense of purpose, but we're seeing it not so much in terms of an egoful striving, but a realization of our values and what leads to the accomplishment of our values." – Joseph GoldsteinSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A particularly difficult human challenge involves trying to balance a desire to be there for others – both those in our personal lives and in our society in general – and a desire to offer ourselves our own self-care. When these two needs are unbalanced, we and others tend to suffer because of it, largely based on the degree of the imbalance. Gratefully, the Buddha offered us many ways that we could address these competing needs through our mindfulness meditation practice, and develop a sense of peace and ease for both self, and others. This talk explores some of his most important teachings on this topic. It includes a meditation at the end.

"My Four Tenets of Good Design are not rules to follow, as much as they are a framework to help you think about design, not just as something pretty to look at but as something that inspires you to be the best version of yourself in the moments when no one is watching." —Nate Berkus, Foundations A feeling of immediate release of any tension, letting the day wash away, and a trust that the comforts and reminders of love and bounty of a beautiful life lived surround you is what a thoughtfully decorated sanctuary gives us each time we cross the threshold.  The truth is a sanctuary can be found anywhere, and in fact doesn't need to be a place, but as we talked about in Monday's Motivational post, can be people or even ineffable things – concepts, ideas where we rest our mind. However, most definitely, our home can be a sanctuary, and today, we're going to explore 7 ways to transform your home into just that.  Because a home isn't always a sanctuary. It may have four walls that keep us warm and shelter us, but the definition of a sanctuary is that it is a reliable place of refuge to rejuvenate ourselves. As defined in Buddha's Brain, a book written by Rick Hanson and the inspiration behind episode #327, a sanctuary is anyone or anything that provides reliable protection, so that you can let down your guard and gather strength and wisdom." So with that definition in mind, when American interior designer Nate Berkus' new book, Foundations, was released this past November, I found a helpful companion resource to help each of us identify what would make our home a sanctuary and where to start the journey of gradually decorating a nest that feels far more than just a home, but most definitely a sanctuary.  The guiding premise of Foundations is Berkus' four tenets of good design: make it personal, embrace history, introduce character, and develop your vision. These will guide us through today's episode/post. Let's begin exploring how to lay the foundation of our decorating journey so that as we progress, adding pieces, making decisions along the way, we have clarity and trust what we choose.

(Cambridge Insight Meditation Center) One of the seven factors of awakening is investigation-of-dhammas (or phenomena), which includes an attitude of patient curiosity or keen interest. This important factor works together with strong mindfulness to help us discriminate between the wholesome and unwholesome mind states present at any given moment. The Buddha described this as one of the key qualities that led to his awakening. This talk will explore how we can better understand this factor and begin implementing it more in our practice.

This talk begins with the question of how to embody the freedom and ease of Zen's empty hands while being fully attuned to the cries of the world – including
