    Beyond Success and Failure: Worldly Winds

    A dharma talk on the eight worldly winds: success and failure, praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and pain. Christopher shows how they shape our lives from the classroom onwards, then turns to what transcends them, drawing on Rumi, Meister Eckhart and the Buddha’s description of nirvana as the absence of greed, anger and delusion: not far away, but immediately accessible. *** Christopher's teaching schedule: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.christophertitmuss.net/schedule⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the Mindfulness Teacher Training Course (MTTC), a one-year CPD-certified course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mindfulnesstrainingcourse.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Support Christopher’s teaching by making a donation: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.christophertitmuss.net/donations⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** Recorded on retreat at ⁠Waldhaus, Germany⁠, on 3 August 2026.

    Love: Mettā, Friendship and Romantic Love

    A dharma talk on the three meanings of mettā: loving-kindness, friendship and love. Christopher explains the brahmavihāras: to “abide in Brahma” is to abide in love, compassion, appreciative joy and equanimity. He reads two of his own love poems and reflects on romantic love, trust, and how holding on to the past clouds the way we see the people we love. *** Christopher's teaching schedule: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.christophertitmuss.net/schedule⁠⁠⁠ Join the Mindfulness Teacher Training Course (MTTC), a one-year CPD-certified course: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.mindfulnesstrainingcourse.org/⁠⁠⁠ Support Christopher’s teaching by making a donation: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.christophertitmuss.net/donations⁠⁠⁠ *** Recorded on retreat at ⁠Waldhaus, Germany⁠, on 2 August 2026.

    The Eight States of Mind in Buddhism

    A dharma talk on mindfulness of the mind from the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta, the Buddha’s discourse on the four foundations of mindfulness. Christopher explores greed, aversion and delusion, both when they’re present and when the mind is free of them, and how advertising and social media are designed to hook our attention. He also explores the narrow and expansive mind, concentration and genuine freedom, and tells the story of Leonard Cohen. *** Christopher's teaching schedule: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.christophertitmuss.net/schedule⁠⁠⁠ Join the Mindfulness Teacher Training Course (MTTC), a one-year CPD-certified course: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.mindfulnesstrainingcourse.org/⁠⁠⁠ Support Christopher’s teaching by making a donation: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.christophertitmuss.net/donations⁠⁠⁠ *** Recorded on retreat at ⁠Waldhaus, Germany⁠, on 30 July 2026.

    Desire & Emptiness: What Emptiness Really Means

    Many people feel they don’t understand the Buddhist teaching of emptiness. In this dharma talk, Christopher explains it in plain, everyday terms.

    No Quick Fix: Suffering and Awakening

    A dharma talk on worry, excessive thinking and why there is no quick fix: telling ourselves to stop worrying is just more worry. Christopher explores the antidotes: space, trust, silence, and intimacy with the world through the senses. He looks at the quiet insights that can change a life without any “big bang”. He draws on the Buddha’s fourfold way of looking: yes, no, both and neither. He also tells the story of the Buddha being asked who creates our suffering, covers gradual and sudden awakening, and answers the question: can a human being genuinely live free from suffering? *** Christopher's teaching schedule: ⁠https://www.christophertitmuss.net/schedule⁠ Join the Mindfulness Teacher Training Course (MTTC), a one-year CPD-certified course: ⁠https://www.mindfulnesstrainingcourse.org/⁠ Support Christopher’s teaching by making a donation: ⁠https://www.christophertitmuss.net/donations⁠ *** Recorded on retreat at Waldhaus, Germany, on 27 July 2026.
