(Cambridge Insight Meditation Center) We are living through a profound pivot point. The old myths of our civilization–endless growth, rugged individualism, and “us first” hierarchies are crumbling. In their place, fear, division, and the architecture of fascism are rapidly rising. As the Jungian analyst Edward Edinger warned, when a central myth breaks down, meaning drains away, and primitive forces rush in. The Buddha also lived in a world burning with greed, hatred, and delusion. He challenged the systems of his time, endured attempts on his life, negotiated peace between warring factions, and even stood before armies bent on destruction. In the Sakka-pañha Sutta, when asked why beings who wish for peace end up in rivalry and violence, he pointed to the root: the mind entangled in papañca, the web of proliferating stories that harden separation. How then do we understand this immense historic moment? We can take courage from the Buddha. He didn't always succeed. Even with his wisdom and compassion, he could not prevent the destruction of his own people. Yet he still stood before armies, still spoke truth, and still acted with courage. Even when outcomes are uncertain, we too are called, at this time, to step forward with clarity, compassion, and steadfastness. Together we will explore how to bring the medicine of the Dharma into this moment of profound challenge, not as escape, but as a path of right action, refuge, and renewal.

Mindfulness of the In-and-Out-Breath, Ānāpānasati, was the favourite meditation object of the Buddha himself. He has given us very comprehensive and detailed instructions how to develop this form of meditation. However, many meditators, often even those practising regularly for many years, are not fully aware, or at least do not really apply, the instructions as provided by the Buddha. To encourage everyone to receive the full results of their Breath Meditation, Ajahn Dhammasiha goes through all 16 steps of Mindfulness of Breathing, as expounded by the Buddha; e.g. in Ānāpānasati Sutta, Majjhima Nikāya/Middle Length Discourses, No. 118Each of the four Tetrads develops one of the Foundations of Mindfulness (Satipaṭṭhāna) (i) BODY (KĀYA) (ii) FEELINGS (VEDANĀ) (iii) CITTA (MIND) (iv) DHAMMA (TRUTH) [i] 1. He breathes in mindfully, and he breathes out mindfully2.Breathing in long, he knows: ‘I'm breathing in long'; or breathing out long, he knows: ‘I' breathing out long.' Or breathing in short, he knows: ‘I'm breathing in short'; or breathing out short, he knows: ‘I am breathing out short.' 3. He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in feeling the whole body.' He trains himself: ‘I will breathe out feeling the whole body.' 4. He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in calming all bodily activity' He trains himself: ‘I will breathe out calming all bodily activity.'[ii]5. He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in experiencing rapture.' He trains himself: ‘I will breathe out experiencing rapture.' 6. He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in experiencing bliss.' He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in experiencing bliss.' 7. He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in experiencing mental activity.' He trains himself: ‘I will breathe out experiencing mental activity.' 8.He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in calming mental activity.' He trains himself: ‘I will breathe out calming mental activity.'(iii)9. He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in experiencing the mind.' He trains himself: ‘I will breathe out experiencing the mind.' 10. He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in gladdening the mind.' He trains himself: ‘I will breathe out gladdening the mind.' 11. He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in unifying the mind.' He trains himself: ‘I will breathe out unifying the mind.' 12. He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in releasing the mind.' He trains himself: ‘I will breathe out releasing the mind.'(iv)13. He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in focussing on impermanence.' He trains himself: ‘I will breathe out focussing on inconstancy.' 14. He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in focussing on dispassion / fading away.' He trains himself: ‘I will breathe out focussing on dispassion / fading away.' 15. He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in focussing on cessation.' He trains himself: ‘I will breathe out focussing on cessation.' 16. He trains himself: ‘I will breathe in focussing on letting go.' He trains himself: ‘I will breathe out focussing on letting go.'WebsiteOur Spotify PlaylistsNewsletterDhammagiri Youtube ChannelPics#anapanasati #satipatthana #mindfulness #mindfulnessmeditation #sati #breathmeditation

Ananda was born in Sri Lanka went to the village temple with his Grandfather from a very young age. Yet he came to practise meditation only after meeting the then Ajahn Jagaro & Ajahn Brahm, around 1987. He has been meditating for about 25 years and considers Ajahn Brahm, Ajahn Brahmali & Bhante Sujato as his spiritual teachers. He and his family started visiting Bodhinyana and Dhammaloka regularly in 1991 and he has served in the Committee in different capacities including Treasurer and the Secretary. He has also contributed to Buddhist communities overseas in various ways and is a student of early Buddhist texts from the Tripitaka, relying mostly on Bhante Sujato's English translations of Sutta on SuttaCentral & also, Dhammaloka Sutta classes & Sutta Retreats at Jhana Grove. Every year, the monastic community (Monks and nuns) go on a three month retreat called the “Rains Retreat” from mid July to mid October. During this period, they do not visit our centres for teachings as it's a time for deepening their own practice. While the monks and nuns are away, we will have some interesting guest speakers coming in to give the Friday Night talk. Dust in Our Eyes 2025 (Rains Retreat Speakers' Series 2025) Hear stories of everyday dhamma as told by monastics and lay practitioners from various Buddhist traditions.

June 29, 2025 SN 35.63 Migala Sutta This sutta talks about the sense bases and delight that arises from them. Infatuation arises and all then the rest. Craving is a partner with the Sense bases and leads to suffering. www.dhammasukha.org
This is the story of the Buddha's greatest miracle presented by Ajahn Moneyyo: The Fire Sermon (Adittapariyaya Sutta) and the conversion of the three Kassapa brothers and their 1000 disciples. Chapters:0:00 Let's start...0:24 The three Kassapa Brothers6:23 The Buddha arrives at Uruvela Kassapa's ashram09:04 The fiery battle with the Naga King14:22 Sakka and Brahma come to visit the Buddha16:07 Spending an afternoon in the Himalayas19:17 The great flood - The 1000 ascetics take refuge24:35 The greatest Miracle: The Miracle of instruction27:40 The Fire Sermon31:54 The most successful discourse of the Buddha33:02 How to practice to make the mind uninflammableby desire, aversion and delusion36:32 One thing to develop - Wise attention51:10 The next big move of the Buddha...For more Dhammatalks about the life of the Buddha, click on the link below: • The Life of the Buddha After the Buddha sucessfully lead his first 60 monk disciples to awakening in the Deer Park of Isipatana a few month after his awakening he sends them out in all directions to proclaim his teaching so that as many people as possible get an opportunity to hear it.The Buddha himself goes to Uruvela because he knows that there is a large group of people who are capable to understand his teaching quickly: The three brothers Uruvela-Kassapa, Gaya-Kassapa and Nadi-Kassapa - Three fire worshipping ascetics who live there together with their 1000 disciples.The Buddha is arriving at Uruvela-Kassapa's hermitage as an unknown recluse, just a few months after his awakening, while Uruvela-Kassapa is a famous spiritual teacher who believes that he is already a spiritually perfected person with a very large group of disciples.The Buddha is using his psychic powers on many occasions to undermine Uruvela-Kassapa superiority conceit until he finally takes refuge and submits to the Buddha as his teacher - and his brothers and all their 1000 disciples with him! The Buddha is then leading his 1000 new monk disciples to Gaya Sise, a hill to show them the greatest miracle: The miracle of instruction, the possibility to teach others the path of awakening - by teaching them the Fire Sermon.In the "Fire Sermon" (Adittapariyaya Sutta) the Buddha is teaching 1000 former fire worshipping ascetics that our five senses, the mind and the sense objects are burning in the fire of desire, aversion and delusion. However, the Buddha is also teaching the way of practice how to extinguish the fire and he says if we understand one thing deeply we can make our mind uninflammable for desire, aversion and delusion, so that our mind can never be set on fire again and has realized complete peace. This one thing that we have to understand is wise attention and unwise attention (yoniso manasikara and ayoniso manasikara)...more about it in this Dhamma-Talk.
