Talk given by Padmasagara on 2025-12-06.This talk explores the story behind the Karaniya Metta Sutta, one of the Buddha's earliest and most important teachings on metta, or loving-kindness.The talk begins with the context in which this teaching was given: a deep and unsettling forest, filled with strange sounds, shadows, and fear. From there, the story turns inward, pointing to the "forest of the heart": the inner landscape where emotions arise, move, and seek expression in our lives.Reflecting on how easy it is to lose touch with this inner world, the talk asks what it means to really listen to the heart, and how Buddhist practice, and metta in particular, can help us connect more honestly with ourselves, with others, and with the world.Enjoyed this talk?

Talk given by Dharmasara on 2025-11-15.In this talk, Dharmasara explores the role of community and friendship in Buddhist practice and the potential of spiritual life lived together.Reflecting on his own experience, he describes how an initial search for a teaching gradually opened into a network of friends, teachers, and fellow practitioners, revealing new ways of understanding and deepening relationships.Looking at the Sigalovada Sutta, the talk explores the six key relationships the Buddha encourages us to honour, and considers why friendship and responsibility within relationships are so central.Enjoyed this talk?

We'd love to hear from you please leave a commentIn our previous podcast, we looked at the relationship with uncertainty, anxiety, and suffering Today will focus on application on loss & sufferingRon is just returning from Singapore, and while we'll talk more about the trip itself in a future episode, this one carries a deeper life experience.While they were there, Calli's beautiful mom & and lifelong friend Lily passed away. Being far from home in a moment like that creates a kind of sacred pause. And in that pause, Ron did what we've often talked about in the Wisdom Project — he leaned into the ology's that have shaped him.· Catholicism as a theology.· Buddhism as a philosophy of lived experience.Both traditions, in their own way, acknowledge something central to our Study on uncertainty, anxiety, and suffering: suffering is real. It is unavoidable. But it is not meaningless. In fact, as the Buddha teaches, suffering can be a teacher — if we allow it to be.Not in a sentimental way. In a maturing way.So this episode really sits in that space — how do we respond wisely when life confronts us with loss? How does faith, philosophy, and lived experience help move us from reaction toward wise action?

The Dead Buddhas stopped by Fox Cities Core on Code Zero Radio (WCZR) to celebrate the release of their debut album Sludge Americana.The Dead Buddhas are a band from Oshkosh, Wisconsin — Connor (vocals/guitar), JT (bass/vocals/recording & mixing), and Kevin (vocals/guitar) — who have been playing together since their high school days at Oshkosh West. They describe their sound as "sludge shoegaze" — a genre-bending collision of heavy, abrasive noise, dreamy post-rock atmospherics, and rootsy Americana influences. Think Black Sabbath meets the Grateful Dead, with a healthy dose of Johnny Cash and Korn thrown in for good measure. There's no single frontman here — all three members share vocal duties, which means any given song can swing from delicate, melodic singing to full-on aggressive screaming. Listening on headphones is strongly recommended.Sludge Americana was recorded and engineered at TR's Recording Studio in Oshkosh, a space the guys have deep connections to through longtime Fox Valley music community figure Uri Weber. JT handled all the recording, mixing, and mastering himself — a testament to the band's fully DIY approach. The album was written mostly on acoustic guitars, which is actually how the album got its name: when Connor and JT first started playing those heavy riffs acoustically, they looked at each other and said, "that kind of sounds like sludge Americana." The name stuck.In this interview we get into the full story — from their early open mic nights at New Moon in Oshkosh (where they were influenced by artists like Sarah Vos Winkle of Dead Horses and Nick Raymond of Traveling Suitcase) to their previous projects (Trying Tribals, Everything Went Silent... don't look those up, they said), to the making of Sludge Americana and what's coming next. We talk about the richness of the Oshkosh music scene, the DIY ethics driving the Fox Valley underground, and why they believe this region could become a legitimate hotbed for alternative music.We also get into the deeper themes of the album — nature, loss, urbanization, the anxiety of watching the world change around you — as well as some lighter moments: dream instruments (saxophone, cello, and lap steel), JT's hiccup phobia, the story behind the song "The Stairwell," Connor's dad and his bagpipes, and the band's whiteboard that doesn't have any markers yet.Sludge Americana is available now on all major streaming platforms and on physical CD.Fox Cities Core airs on Code Zero Radio (WCZR) — broadcasting live from Appleton, Wisconsin.
Bernd Bender, Dharma-Vortrag am 04. Dezember 2025, Rohatsu-Sesshin, WilhelmsaueSieben Tage lang soll Shakyamuni Buddha bis zu seiner Erleuchtung gesessen haben. Am zweiten Tag versuchte Mara ihn von dem abzuhalten, was er da tat: offen zu sein für das, was ist. Bernd geht in seinem Vortrag noch einmal genauer auf den Praxisansatz des Buddha ein, dessen Ausgang eine Kindheitserinnerung war, in der der junge Siddartha in tief empfundener Verbundenheit mit dem Leben ruhte. Dabei zieht Bernd Dōgen Zenjis Fukanzazengi heran und unterstreicht, dass es sich bei diesem Ansatz nicht um eine Meditationspraxis handelt, in der etwas verändert oder erreicht werden müsste. Vielmehr geht es um eine Offenheit für das, was sich von Moment zu Moment entfaltet. Als Siddartha aufhörte, etwas an seiner Erfahrung verändern zu wollen, verlor Mara seine Macht. Können wir uns und anderen erlauben, die Person zu sein, die wir sind?Support the show

Saturday, 21 February 2026 But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” Matthew 17:7 “And He came, Jesus. He touched them, and He said, ‘You rouse, and you fear not'” (CG). In the previous verse, after hearing the voice from heaven, the disciples fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. Matthew next records, “And He came, Jesus. He touched them.” This is something seen elsewhere, in both testaments. When a person is presented with the presence of deity, it so overwhelms him that he falls to the ground in a stupor. But then, a comforting hand is presented to him – “And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great terror fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. 8 Therefore I was left alone when I saw this great vision, and no strength remained in me; for my vigor was turned to frailty in me, and I retained no strength. 9 Yet I heard the sound of his words; and while I heard the sound of his words I was in a deep sleep on my face, with my face to the ground. 10 Suddenly, a hand touched me, which made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hands. 11 And he said to me, ‘O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.' While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling.” Daniel 10:7-11 “When I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, ‘Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.'” Revelation 1:12-18 Along with touching them, it says, “and He said, ‘You rouse, and you fear not.'” The words of Jesus and the familiarity of His voice would have brought them to their senses and let them know that, despite the terror the manifestation of the voice brought, they were safe in His presence. Life application: The lesson for the disciples is the same as the lesson for us today. Though humans throughout the world and in an almost unlimited number of religions constantly talk about God in their regular conversation, there is no fist-bumping fellowship between the two. Rather, the perfections of God in contrast to the imperfections found in man mean that we should rather be terrified of encountering Him on our own merits. It cannot be known how the voice from the Father occurred, but it struck terror in the hearts and minds of the disciples. It is the same reaction as occurred at Mount Sinai when Israel heard the words of the Lord God when the Ten Commandments were spoken. At that time, their response to Moses was, “You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.” Jesus is there to mediate between His Father and us. It is His perfection that allows this. Without that, there would only be horror at the majesty of God in relation to our own infinitely fallen state. It is Jesus who restores harmony between the two. It cannot come about through Muhammad, Buddha, Krishna, Mary, or any other person or figure who is prayed to by the deceived people of the world. Without Jesus, there is only the expectation of judgment and condemnation. Thank God for Jesus Christ, who makes our restoration with God possible. Lord God, how grateful we are for the giving of Your Son to bring us back to You. We praise You, and we will praise You forever and ever because of Him. Thank You for Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Ajahn Dhammasiha talks about the importance of 'Beautiful, Admirable Friendship' (Kalyānamittatā) for our Dhamma progress. "Having good spiritual friends is 100% of the holy life" (The Buddha, Saṃyutta Nikāya/Connected Discourses 45.2)Ajahn points out the connection with the 4 Factors of Stream Entry (Sotāpattiyangāni):Association with Good Persons (Sappurisa-saṃseva) Hearing the True Dhamma (Saddhamma-savanaṃ)Wise Attention (Yoniso Manasikāra) Practising Dhamma in Line with Dhamma (Dhammānudhamma-patipatti)Number one is personal contact with someone who has realized the Dhamma. Personal association with an Arahant or Streamenterer, even if only for a short time, is the first of four conditions to realize the Dhamma oneself. Ajahn Dhammasīha encourages us not to completely substitute that personal association with youtube, reading and listening to recordings. Without the personal contact, we may miss out on a crucial factor for gaining the vision of Dhamma ourselves.Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage:https://www.dhammagiri.net/newsOur email Newsletter:https://www.dhammagiri.net/newsletterLatest Photoshttps://latest-pics.dhammagiri.netOur Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@dhammatalksatdhammagiri8724#buddhism #friendship #goodfriends #buddhistwisdom #dhammatalk #dhamma #streamentry #sotapatti
Obwohl Buddha nichts mehr ass und so zu seiner Erleuchtung kam, wird im Buddhismus nicht gefastet. Aber man mässigt sich. Schliesslich meditiert weder ein voller noch ein leerer Bauch gerne. Buddha gelangte bei seiner Erleuchtung zur Erkenntnis, dass Achtsamkeit und Mässigung den Weg der Mitte weisen. Im Buddhismus wird deshalb zur Einkehr, und für einen achtsamen Umgang mit sich selbst und mit seinen Mitmenschen auf kleinere Portionen gesetzt.

#401 In this episode, Guy talked with Julian Polzin, a former psychotherapist turned spiritual teacher, and shared his profound awakening experience that began while grieving on a graveyard bench in Germany, leading to a complete dissolution of ego and entry into samadhi. Through deep meditation practices, he began remembering hundreds of past lives as a Buddhist monk and yogi, receiving downloads of ancient yogic systems and experiencing visions of Atlantis and its fall due to spiritual corruption and transhumanist technology. He explained how dark entities on the astral plane compete for human souls by offering temptations that disconnect people from divine will, and how the Buddhist system was designed to counteract the Atlantean karma of the hyperactive intellect separated from God. Julian warned that humanity is repeating the Atlantean pattern with AI, transhumanism, and recent technological interventions that disconnect individuals from divine current, leading to a timeline split between those who surrender to God and those who fall into ego gratification. Now based in Peru's Sacred Valley, he works to build a monastery and teaches proper spiritual discernment, emphasizing that true liberation requires total surrender, renunciation of worldly attachments, and the guidance of a genuine teacher assigned by divine will. About Julian: Julian practices and teaches Zen-Buddhist methods in combination with the Yogic realization process and various other mystical practices. On his spiritual path he opened himself to mystical insight. He experienced realization beyond physical experience which changed his therapeutic approach. In 2021 he traveled to Nepal to meditate in holy places to experience the land, ancient energies and intelligences of a non-material nature. He practiced psychotherapy in Germany for seven years, but moved on from the method after experiencing the limitations of the psychotherapeutic framework. Now he focusses on sharing spiritual teachings of direct inquiry to assist his clients in realizing themselves through the mystical experience.

The two practices that helped turn this self described scowling, sarcastic skeptic into an expert meditator. Devin Berry is a Core Guiding Teacher at the Insight Meditation Society and a residential retreat teacher at IMS and Spirit Rock. A meditator since 1999, his practice is rooted in long-term retreat practice and the mettā and vipassanā teachings of the Insight Meditation tradition. In this episode we talk about: Why mindfulness alone is not enough How mettā is part of four related mental skills called the Brahma Viharas The story of how and why the Buddha (according to the legend) invented mettā practice The role and practice of generosity A year long experiment that Devin ran in mettā and danā And lastly, how these practices can help us both on and off the cushion This episode originally aired on July 31st, 2024.

Are you looking for a truly transformative focus for Lent? What if I told you Tara, the female Buddha, is the perfect guide for you this Lent? The book Tara – the Liberating Power of the Female Buddha: 22 Meditations to Heal Ourselves and Repair Our World by Rachel Wooten, is the book I'm reading and recommending this Lenten season. Tara will help you to prioritize yourself and your spiritual practice time, and heal the things that make you put yourself last. In this episode, I share the miraculous story of Tara, who was told she could not be enlightened in a female body, and who swore she would not only do so but would work to help all beings become enlightened! This miraculous book illustrates the 21 aspects or manifestations of Tara, each of which has a focus to help empower you to overcome inner obstacles to enlightenment. I know this book will be an invaluable guide for you, whether during the Lenten season or anytime you read it. PS - If you would like to purchase this book, click here for the Show Notes https://francesfayden.com/how-the-female-b…-heart-this-lent/ Key Learnings: 1) As a young woman on the spiritual path, Tara caught the attention of other monks who were amazed at her spiritual stature. They urged her to transform into a man so she could become fully enlightened, not believing she could do so as a woman. She vowed right there to achieve enlightenment in a female body and to only be in a female body while she assisted all sentient beings achieve enlightenment. 2) There are 21 manifestations of Tara, all with a different color and gift to help you on your path of awakening. I read from chapter 13, The Red Burning Tara who fiercely protects your spiritual practice and supports you in prioritizing yourself! 3) The mantra for the Red Burning Tara is Om Tare Tuttare Ture Spho Traya Bas Min Kuru Soha! Here is the pronunciation – Ohm Tahray Tootahray Tooray Sfo Traiya Bahs Meen Kooroo Soha "Because you are inseparable from the web of life around you, your inner work and self-care naturally contribute to the healing of the world."

In this time of great dukkha, it's imperative to remember the importance of love and how we ground ourselves and our practice in it. Mary reflects on the wisdom of bell hooks and others to find a way to make this a foundation of our practice, and our intention as we move the the world and deal with the vicissitudes of life.Recorded Feb 14, 2026 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!

In this part, Swamiji explains the six questions raised by the sages of Naimisharanya and how Suta Goswami answered them. The sages asked: what is the highest welfare in Kali Yuga, the essence of all scriptures, the reason for Krishna's descent, His divine pastimes, the other avatars of God, and where Dharma resides after His departure. Suta Goswami revealed that the supreme Dharma is pure devotion to the Lord, free from selfish motives. He clarified that the Absolute Truth is realized in three aspects — Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan — with Bhagavan, the personal form of God, being supreme. The Lord descends to uplift souls, restore Dharma, and reveal His purifying pastimes. Swamiji then narrates the 24 principal avatars of God described in the Bhagavatam: the Four Kumaras, Varaha, Narad, Nar‑Narayan, Kapil, Dattatreya, Yajna, Rishabh, Prithu, Matsya, Kurma, Dhanvantari, Mohini, Narsimha, Vaman, Parashuram, Vyas, Ram, Balaram, Krishna, Buddha, and Kalki who will appear at the end of Kali Yuga. Each avatar demonstrates a unique aspect of divine compassion, guidance, and protection. This part emphasizes that after Krishna's departure, Dharma has taken shelter in the Srimad Bhagavatam, which shines like the sun to dispel the darkness of Kali Yuga. About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.

Ajahn Dhammasiha talks about the importance of 'Admirable Friendship' for our spiritual progress. 'Kaḷyāṇa Mittatā' can be translated as 'Beautiful Friendship', 'Noble Friendship' or 'Good Spiritual Friendship'. It means a friend who causes our wholesome qualities like virtue, generosity, kindness and wisdom to increase when we associate with them, because they have developed these qualities themselves. Such a friend in a 'Kaḷyāṇa Mitta'. The opposite, a bad friend that causes us to get more angry, stingy and deluded, is called a 'Pāpa Mitta'. Bad Friendship is 'Pāpa Mittatā'. Underlining the crucial importance of good friendship for our Dhamma practice, the Buddha once famously said to Venerable Ānanda: "Having good spiritual friends is 100% of the holy life" (Saṃyutta Nikāya/Connected Discourses 45.2)Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage:https://www.dhammagiri.net/newsOur email Newsletter:https://www.dhammagiri.net/newsletterLatest Photoshttps://latest-pics.dhammagiri.netOur Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@dhammatalksatdhammagiri8724#buddhism #friendship #goodfriends #buddhistwisdom #dhammatalk #dhamma

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.
