Our reactivity to situations often takes over and determines how we feel and act. However, if we can pause before reacting, we may have a very different experience. In this talk Mary discusses how we need to recognize how nothing in our reaction will change the situation, but how our reactions will impact our level of dukkha.Recorded Nov. 1, 2025 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!

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

In this talk Jogen Sensei introduces Affirming Faith in Mind as a mirror for practice and a reminder that the Great Way is neither easy nor difficult. Moving through the themes of impermanence, longing, and the poignancy of being human, he invites practitioners to meet life directly on the ground of reality. Jogen speaks of sesshin as a sacred vessel for awakening, describing three ingredients of transcendent insight: the desire to go beyond, a vivid steady mind, and bowing to what is. With clarity and humor, he shows how sesshin reveals our suffering and our freedom—teaching us to yield completely to the immediacy of this fleeting life.This is talk two of the 2025 Ancient Way Sesshin. ★ Support this podcast ★

Suryagupta explores the story of Padmasambhava, the great tantric master, who was invited to Tibet when Buddhism could not take root through reason and philosophy alone. She describes how Padmasambhava confronted and transformed the unseen forces of Maras, demons, and gods, turning their energies towards the Dharma rather than away from it. The talk urges us to face our own inner and collective forces with courage, love, ritual, and devotion, calling on Padmasambhava's blessing for personal and societal transformation.

In this episode I read and reflect on Chapter One of Keizan's Denkoroku: Record of the Transmission of Illumination. In it, Shakyamuni Buddha holds up a flower and blinks. Keizan says, "No one knew his intention, and they were silent." Then Mahakashyapa gives a slight smile, and the Buddha acknowledges him as his Dharma heir. What is going on in this koan? Keizan challenges our ideas about awakening, time, causation, and the nature of self.

In this opening talk of 2025 Ancient Way Sesshin, Hogen Roshi introduces the Affirming Faith in Mind chant—an ancient poem pointing to non-dual awareness and the ease of the great way. He reminds us that our suffering begins when we believe our thoughts, and peace appears when we let them flow without grasping. Through humor, reflection, and simple body-based practices, Hogen shows how inclusivity, satisfaction, and faith in the “heart-mind” reveal a stability beyond our judgments and preferences. The talk weaves ancient teaching, modern psychology, and poetry into a living encouragement to trust this very moment. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode, Kisei Sensei explores Koan 25, Nyozin's Pale Moon of Dawn, and Koan 33, Bodhidharma's Flesh, examining how Zen teaching passes through time, poetry, and the body. She reflects on Chyono's poem about the pale moon and the bucket, showing how our sense of self can be patched together and then fall away in practice. Drawing connections to Bodhidharma's transmission to his students, she emphasizes how awakening is both a lived, embodied experience and a study of ancestral teachings. Listeners are invited to reflect on the moon, their own practice, and the questions of body, awakening, and interconnection that these koans present.This talk was given during Kisei's online Tuesday night program. ★ Support this podcast ★

 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

Dharma talk given by Lama Matthew Palden Gocha October 26, 2025. Music by Barefoot Bran Music.

This talk explores the transformative power of tuning into the felt sense—the subtle, bodily knowing that lies beneath thought and emotion. Rooted in early Buddhist teachings and supported by contemporary somatic practices, the felt sense offers a direct path to presence, insight, and release. By connecting deeply with the body from the inside out, we ground our awareness in the Four Foundations of Mindfulness and begin to directly experience the liberating truths of impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and non-self.   You'll learn how to recognize and trust the language of inner sensation, how the felt sense awakens the Five Spiritual Faculties—faith, energy, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom—and how this embodied presence becomes a guide for wise action and compassionate insight. Through reflections, guided sensing, and practical tools, you'll discover how to stay close to what's real and alive, and how this intimacy with the body can lead to deep inner freedom.

How did Brahma create alluring women, and for what purpose? Why did the righteous King Bhangashvana choose womanhood? How did the sage Markandeya's pupil prevent his guru's wife from committing adultery? What role did Indra play in the births of Vishvamitra and Parashu Rama? How were death, diseases, desire and anger created? Why and how did the institution of kingship come about? What can one learn from the mouse who escaped the cat, the owl, the mongoose and the hunter; or the wise jackal who was betrayed by the lion king? Why did Shiva swallow Shukra, the guru of the Asuras? Embedded within the lengthy discourse on dharma in the Shanti and Anushasana Parvans of the Mahabharata are answers to a whole range of such questions-moral lessons from a dying Bhishma to King Yudhishthira, on life, death and everything in between. The Dharma of Unfaithful Wives and Faithful Jackals: Some Moral Tales From The Mahabharata is a highly entertaining selection of these tales-tangled at times, insightful at others, yet always quirky-about women, both good and bad, fathers and sons, kings, gods and kings of gods, and fables. The perceptive translations by Wendy Doniger, hailed as 'the greatest living mythologist', are a treat for anyone fascinated by the bewildering complexity of Hindu myth and lore.

In this talk, Jomon Sensei continues the autumn Ango practice period by exploring passages from the ancient Zen poem Affirming Faith in Mind. Through multiple translations and reflections, she examines how striving—whether for worldly success or inner enlightenment—entangles us in duality. She invites us to rest in simplicity and let the “way be invisible,” seeing that stillness and motion, comfort and discomfort, are inseparable expressions of oneness. With warmth and humor, she shows how retreat practice and daily life both reveal the same truth: reality is not perfect, permanent, or personal.This talk was given at the Vancouver Zen Group on October 21st 2025. ★ Support this podcast ★

Healthy relationships through dharma-bhakti balance _ Emotionally Healthy Spirituality - 3 Gita 3.26 by Exploring mindfulness, yoga and spirituality

Jogen explores the Buddha's teaching of right thought. Through vivid metaphors and down-to-earth humor, he invites us to notice what we hold onto that tethers us to unhappiness and how readiness to release can arise naturally, like ripe fruit. The talk moves from the monastic renunciate ideal to the subtler, everyday practice of relinquishment in relationships, habits, and self-images. Letting go, he says, is not moralistic or forced, but an alchemy of honesty, compassion, and faith in a deeper happiness.This talk was given on October 1st 2025 at Heart of Wisdom Zen Temple. ★ Support this podcast ★

What if the life you keep chasing is already within reach—once you change the frequency you're living on? We sit down with spiritual mentor and author Leanne Marie Lambert to uncover how energy, identity, and everyday choices determine what we attract, and how to upgrade all three without getting lost in woo or wishful thinking.Leanne's story starts with a double-decker bus and a near-death experience that cracked her open to a wider consciousness. Later, plant medicine revealed a state she calls the “God frequency,” but the real breakthrough came afterward: learning to access it without substances by dismantling mental programs, shedding shame, and rebuilding a self-concept that could hold more light. Together we break down why vision boards fail when embodiment is missing, how “fake it till you make it” keeps you stuck, and why action aligned with worthiness outperforms hustle born from lack.We also explore the mirrors we ignore: social feeds that reveal our true vibration, music that programs our subconscious, and relationships that repeat patterns until we evolve. You'll hear practical energy alchemy tools you can use today—like recalling a belly-laugh memory to reset your state, curating inputs that lift you, and using presence to shift from anxious checklisting to grounded clarity. If you've ever felt “stuck on repeat,” this conversation offers a compassionate, no-fluff path to a higher timeline: purge what dims you, practice what centers you, and choose the identity that matches the life you're calling in.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who's ready to shift, and leave a quick review so more people can find these conversations. Your frequency is your strategy—let's raise it together.Join the What if it Did Work movement on FacebookGet the Book!www.omarmedrano.comwww.calendly.com/omarmedrano/15min

Dharma: La Ley de tu Alma (Parte 1) | Ep. 366 | Psicología y bienestar

Welcome to Meaning-Making 101 where we explore the crisis of meaning in our world today, and how we may help usher in an awakening from it. In this episode we continue our deep dive into theologian David Bentley Hart's essay, 'Christ and Nothing', to consider his thoughts on the nihilism of modernity, its causes, and the unique solution that a meta-modern (as opposed to post-modern) view of Christianity provides. This continues our exploration of metamodern spirituality, which can be defined as an approach to spiritual practice that highlights a "return to the sacred" in a way that feels authentic in our fragmented, post-secular world, blending traditional wisdom with modern insights to foster a deeper, more adaptive sense of purpose and transcendence. Stay Tuned! At the end of this episode we take a look at some of the actual Good News going on in the world in our GOOD NEWS ROUNDUP!

Reflecting on the Parami of Truthfulness, Mary investigates what gets in the way and keeps us removed from reality and not seeing the world clearly. We are invited to reflect on being honest with the world and, what is sometimes even more difficult, being honest with ourselves. There is freedom in truth.Recorded Oct. 19, 2025 at Insight Community of the DesertSend me a text with any questions or comments!

In this episode, Kisei explores the unique Zen practice of mirror meditation at Tokeji, a thirteenth-century Japanese convent. Practitioners sit before a mirror, asking, “Where is a single feeling, a single thought in the mirror image at which I gaze?” Through historical stories, personal experiences, and reflections from teachers like Zenju Earthlyn Manuel and Ruth Ozeki, we witness how this practice reveals habitual judgments, fear, grief, and ultimately compassion and equanimity. By sitting with the reflection, we learn to see ourselves as nature itself, discovering clarity, openness, and our original heart-mind. ★ Support this podcast ★
