    Episode 175: How To Listen

    Episode 175: How To Listen

    The focus of this episode is listening • we might think of listening as something passive, but it is actually a very active process, one that is closely associated with paying attention • a traditional dharmic example of listening fully and properly is that of a deer in the forest: when a deer hears an unfamiliar sound, its listening becomes instantly heightened • listening is talked about as the first step in developing insight or prajna • some...

    Episode 174: Lessons from the Life of the Buddha

    Episode 174: Lessons from the Life of the Buddha

    The Buddha's life can be seen as a template for our own journey along the Buddhist path • the Buddha grew up in a palace, surrounded by safety, comfort, and security • but growing up in such a sheltered environment, he started to feel claustrophobic and curious • one day the Buddha snuck out of the palace grounds with his attendant and encountered a series of “teachers”: someone who was very ill; someone who was extremely old; and the body of a dead person&...

    Episode 171: Fresh Eyes

    Episode 171: Fresh Eyes

    In this episode, I'd like to focus on awareness, or vipashyana • while mindfulness refers to stabilizing, grounding, and focusing the mind, vipashyana is about clarity, openness, curiosity, and inquisitiveness • vipashyana is a natural outgrowth of mindfulness practice: as the mind settles, it begins to naturally clarify • vipashyana draws us outward; it is based on taking a genuine interest in the details of our life, in the details of our perception, and ...

    Episode 170: The Eightfold Path

    Episode 170: The Eightfold Path

    The Eightfold Path is one of the early teachings the Buddha gave after his enlightenment • they are guidelines for living in accordance with the Dharma; they are guidelines for how to comport yourself, how to relate to one another, how to be in the world in a way that's more wise, more skillful, and more accurate • the first of the eight is right VIEW — cultivating clearer seeing, cultivating the ability to see for yourself, be curious, and to look deeply into the natu...
