Donald Rothberg: Practicing with Views, Beliefs, and Positions 2
(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We start with a brief reflection on today's holiday, Juneteenth. Then we review last week's initial exploration of practicing with views, including (1) identifying the main teachings on views given by the Buddha, and (2) three basic ways to practice with views, including developing mindfulness of views, inquiring when there is a charge related to another's view, and developing careful listening. This review is followed by bringing in several further ways to understand and practice with views, including working with a specific teaching and letting the "view [coming from the teaching] be the meditation," exploring how sometimes to rest in a kind of unknowing, and then how awakening lies beyond views and concepts. The talk is followed by discussion.

Customer Reviews
Great buddhist talks
Fab
Mislabeled
That ain’t Vinny Ferraro jaja
Quality nosedive
Terrible Sound quality now makes these talks unlistenable. Why the teachers don’t know to wear headphones I will never know. It’s amateurish and unprofessional.
And yet the price for these ‘retreats’ is high, with virtually no overhead - almost pure profit. From hundreds of people at a time.
