In this Wednesday night Dharma talk, Sensei Koshin Flint Sparks explores a simple and radical teaching: our ordinary experience is itself the awakened way. By ordinary, he means not our passing thoughts but the unmanipulated mind that holds them. Many of us come to practice believing that awakening lies somewhere else, in a later time, a better state, or in exceptional people unlike ourselves. Source

In this special episode recorded in Toronto, Swamiji speaks with Pandit Mayuran about his political career in the UK and the wider issues affecting the Western world at present. Although a contentious topic, Hinduism has never shied away from open dialogue and exploration in order to better understand the nature of dharma and our role in its development. What follows is a discussion on the Mahabharata, nuance, pragmatism vs idealism, the balance between compassion and conservation, material identifications and much more!Connect with the Community:

In this episode, an excerpt from a recent talk by Tibetan Buddhist nun Ani Choyang offers a glimpse into her remarkable journey from Tibet to becoming one of the first Tibetan women on track to earn the Geshema degree in Buddhist philosophy. The degree represents a significant milestone for women in Tibetan Buddhism and has been championed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. A Tenzin Gyatso Science Scholar, Ani Choyang was among the first Tibetan nuns to participate in a two-year science training program at Emory University. She later completed a neuroscience internship at Northwestern University and continues to participate in research exploring lucid dreaming and dream yoga. She currently serves as a science teacher and Coordinator of the Library and Learning Center at Jangchub Choeling Nunnery in Mundgod, India. In this talk, Ani Choyang shares what compelled her to escape Tibet, her profound meeting with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and the experiences that have shaped her path as a Buddhist scholar, educator, and bridge between Buddhist philosophy and modern science. Her story offers a powerful perspective on the evolving role of women in Tibetan Buddhism and the possibilities that emerge when ancient wisdom meets contemporary scientific inquiry.

"Do You Even Train, Bro?" is a Dharma Talk and brief guided meditation on spiritual bypassing and the ways we can sometimes use Buddhist teachings to avoid the very things our practice is supposed to help us face. We cover how sometimes, acceptance can become resignation, equanimity can be mistaken for indifference, letting go can become avoidance, and even meditation can become a place to hide. The Dharma isn't about pretending everything is fine. It's about learning to see clearly what is actually happening and responding with wisdom and compassion. Sometimes that means sitting with what is. Sometimes it means letting go. And sometimes…it means getting the water. I hope you find this helpful in some way. Enjoy!https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

Dharma talk by David Dae An Rynick, Rōshi, on September 22, 2026

Threaded through this talk by Bansho Sensei is the tension between wanting recognition for helping others and the practice of "not expecting applause." It frames true generosity as releasing the need to be thanked or acknowledged. It distinguishes ordinary impatience (wanting the red light to change) from a deeper "Dharma patience" of truly being with others and with our own discomfort. ★ Support this podcast ★

Centered on the idea of "futuring" or craving, this talk by Hogen Roshi examines how the mind actively shapes an infinite, formless world into a narrow personal story through wanting. It suggests liberation comes from noticing this shaping process rather than being unconsciously driven by it. ★ Support this podcast ★

This talk by Hogen Roshi explores craving as the mind's habitual grasping — "I want, I want" — and how it quietly generates most of our dissatisfaction. It contrasts two retreat experiences, agony and freedom, to show that both can lead to the same insight once we stop resisting and sink beneath the thought. ★ Support this podcast ★

This talk by Hogen Roshi unpacks a traditional chant on "blessings" by redefining the word away from divine reward and toward human capacity. It centers on discernment — recognizing foolish paths to happiness versus wise ones — and treats association with wisdom as something actively built, not passively found. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode, we reflect on why the act of simply being present for another person or ourselves, is a deeply powerful and moving spiritual experience.Questions or thoughts you would like to share?

On September 20, 2026, journalist and corporate advisor Mr Gurumurthy Swaminathan delivered the Sri S G Sundaraswamy Memorial Lecture 2026 at Sai Hira Global Convention Centre, Prasanthi Nilayam, on “Relevance of Ancient Indian Philosophical Thought to Contemporary Times.”Exploring Indian philosophy in the context of modern science and artificial intelligence, he highlighted the distinction between knowledge and information and the enduring relevance of India's civilisational wisdom. He spoke on Dharma, family, community and shared responsibilities, emphasising their relevance to social harmony, economics and governance. He also reflected on the Vedic understanding of primordial sound and the transmission of knowledge across generations as a vital force sustaining Indian civilisation.The annual endowed lecture, instituted by Mr S S Naganand, Trustee, Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, honours the late Sri S G Sundaraswamy and provides the university community an opportunity to engage with distinguished scholars and contemporary ideas.The event was attended by Mr Venu Srinivasan, Chairman Emeritus, TVS Motor Company and TVS Holdings; Mr K Chakravarthi IAS (Retd.), Chancellor, SSSIHL; Prof. B Raghavendra Prasad, Vice-Chancellor, SSSIHL; Dr Srikanth Khanna, Registrar, SSSIHL; Mr RJ Rathnakar, Managing Trustee, Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust; Mr S S Naganand, Trustee, Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, and his family; along with senior members of both trusts, faculty and students of SSSIHL.

She then discusses 'garava' as devotion for the whole richness of our Dharma Lives, including positive emotions for all beings.

Who is a Hindu? And what does it really mean to be one? Many of us grew up calling ourselves Hindu, but the deeper we look, the more questions emerge. Is Hinduism a religion or a way of life? How did the gods and deities we worship today evolve? And what ideas hold together such a diverse philosophical tradition? In this conversation, Roshan Cariappa sits down with author Ami to explore the foundations of the Hindu worldview — from karma, rebirth and moksha to dharma, the cosmic order, questioning, pluralism and the evolution of Hindu deities. The conversation also looks at how Vedic gods evolved over time, why personal forms of the divine became important, and what makes the Hindu worldview inherently plural and comfortable with different schools of thought. This is a shorter version of the full conversation, bringing together some of the key questions and ideas from the original episode.

One man's god is another man's demon. We recently learned that Kash Patel has removed bestiality as an automatic disqualification for a job at the FBI. Then the tweets began, accusing Indians of embracing bestiality. But the Hindu scriptures and laws are explicit in condemning the act, and issuing punishment. Others are angry that Hanuman, a monkey icon representing selflessness, learning, loyalty, etc., being built in Texas or the massive Swaminarayan Akshardham temple constructed in New Jersey. What happened to religious freedom, liberty, and the embracing of what Hanuman represents. Besides, Hinduism is the world's third largest religion. It maintains belief in Samsara, Karma, Dharma, Atman, and Moksha, respectively representing eternal life, a watchful moral eye, the soul, cosmic law or the divine plan, and salvation. Hindus, under a different name, maintain the trinity and deify the Creator as Brahman. It appears that faith matters more than facts, just as recently feelings mattered more than the same. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. Subscribe to remove ads.

Dharma talk by David Dae An Rynick, Rōshi, on September 13, 2026

"True Story" is a Dharma talk and brief guided meditation about learning to separate what actually happened from what the mind adds to it, how papañca (mental proliferation) can turn one unpleasant moment into an entire bad day, and how gratitude can help us see everything that is true about an experience without denying what hurts. We don't always get to choose what happens to us. But we can practice choosing what we carry away from it. I hope you find the talk useful. Enjoy!https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

Vidyamala introduces the key aspects of this part of the Sutta and then speaks of the importance of allowing for growth and integration in our practice. She speaks of the twin pillars of awareness and love and how mindfulness can lead to a deeper and deeper sense of connection with all of life and how kindness is a natural expression of that. She also speaks of her own practice after the recent death of her father.

The Dhammapada, or 'Way of Truth', is a profound expression of 'Basic Buddhism'. In its short, memorable verses, the Buddha challenges us to practise wholeheartedly – because 'a tamed mind brings happiness'. Suryagupta unpacks some of these ancient wisdom-sayings, which, as our founder has said, 'deserve to be engraved on our hearts in letters of gold – or fire.'

“Whether you did the Process with someone in your cohort or you find someone at a coffee shop with a Quadrinity sticker on their water bottle, there’s sort of that immediate recognition of, ‘Hello, another me, myself! Hello, a kindred spirit!‘” – Jasin Deegan Hoffman Alumni Department Manager Jasin Deegan completed the Hoffman Process at White Sulphur Springs in 2019. Just a few months later, he joined the Hoffman Institute in his first role. Jasin has a hunger to serve others. It’s the nature of his Spirit. And he loves the Process. Six years on, it’s a beautiful match that now serves the global Hoffman community. Before taking the Process, Jasin completed many personal transformational experiences. He arrived at the Process wanting “all the self-help resources” so he could “finally be this optimal person of service in the world.“ In his Process, he realized this was his own form of Do-Be-Have, trying to find his true Self by collecting more and more tools and resources. In an epiphany, Jasin realized he already was this “person of service.” It was simply time to be himself in a role that brought him joy and purpose. This seed of understanding was planted in his Process. It has steadily grown within him over the past six years at Hoffman. And now, with ith Jasin at the helm of the Alumni Department, the alumni department team has created the new Hoffman Alumni Home and Hoffman Alumni Circle. These online community spaces are where we can gather as a global alumni community of all Hoffman Programs. As Jasin says, there’s “an immediate recognition” when we meet another Hoffman friend, a kindred spirit. We hope you enjoy this warm conversation with Jasin and Sadie. Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify More about Jasin Deegan: Jasin Deegan has served as a transformational facilitator and guide for over fifteen years. He is dedicated to serving others on their healing and transformational journeys and is passionate about how peak experiences expand human consciousness. Jasin completed the Hoffman Process in December of 2019 and has been part of the Hoffman Institute since June 2020. Now serving as Alumni Department Manager, Jasin passionately supports Hoffman graduates who continue to do their post-Process work. As Alumni Department Manager, Jasin has led the development and design of Hoffman Alumni Home. This online community centralizes graduate resources and provides a space where Hoffman graduates can connect and build community. Before joining the Hoffman Institute, Jasin was a Shamanic Breathwork facilitator, using breathwork, ritual and ceremony, and contemplative practices to support others along their transformational and healing journeys. Jasin is trained and certified in Shamanic Breathwork through Venus Rising Association for Transformation. There, he cultivated his passion and sacred purpose for transformational service work through these direct studies. Jasin is pursuing his degree in psychology from San Francisco State University and lives with his husband in San Francisco, California. As mentioned in this episode: HOFFMAN ALUMNI HOME alumni.hoffmaninstitute.org/feed Hoffman Alumni Home is a dedicated space for Hoffman graduates to access alumni resources, connect to the community, and continue engaging with the work beyond their foundational Hoffman program. HOFFMAN ALUMNI CIRCLE alumni.hoffmaninstitute.org/hoffman-alumni-circle Hoffman Alumni Circle is a membership designed to support graduates’ continued growth, providing exclusive access to master classes and visualizations, teacher-led virtual sessions, early access to and discounts on graduate programming, and more. This paid membership lives within Hoffman Alumni Home and helps graduates sustain and deepen their Hoffman practice. Liza Ingrasci, Past CEO and President Liza and her late husband, Raz Ingrasci, founded the Hoffman Institute Foundation. Liza served as CEO and President for many years. She is now retired.
