    My Doubt and I (Link #746)

    Speaker: Abra Havens. Abra shares how doubt has played a pivotal role in her life, specifically in relation to religion. Having been raised as a Jehovah's Witness with a devout mother and non-believing father, the seeds of doubt were planted early for Abra. Becoming liberated from her childhood religion as an adult felt liberating and empowering, but Abra also came to realize how doubt had become a habit. After having encountered and embraced the Dharma, her first several years of practice were influenced by unexamined doubt. Having realized this, Abra began applying the instructions she received exactly as they were given. Examining every corner of her mind, she came upon several poignant discoveries. Eventually she learned to stop examining everything through the lens of doubt and began looking instead at doubt itself, understanding it as a habit based in fear and self-deception.

    Four Solaces (Link #745)

    Speaker: Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche. This LINK was originally given at Longchen Jigme Samten Ling in Crestone, Colorado on October 4, 2015. In this talk, Rinpoche examines the Four Solaces of the Kadampa: placing deep trust and finding solace in the Dharma, using the minimum resources to support yourself, placing your trust in "the cave" or in the solitude of retreat, and practicing until death comes to you. He examines the ways in which we are affected by our attachments, the benefits of letting go and living a simple life, and the importance of consistent practice until the day one dies.

    Power of Mind (Link #744)

    Speaker: Maki Okabayashi. Maki-san offers her reflections on how the power of our mind can move us in a positive direction. We engage the outer world with our body, speech and mind, but the mind is the driving force behind it all. In order to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts in our lives, we must learn how our mind holds power over us through habitual patterns. If we try, our mind also has the power to transform itself because all habits are created by the mind itself. Maki acknowledges the difficulty of changing habits formed over a lifetime, but reminds us that habits are temporary, formed by causes and conditions and therefore are not absolute. Dharma offers us the skillful means and for Maki, tsewa is key. Tsewa or "a radical open heart" allows us to access a peaceful mind by generating warmth and tenderness within ourselves. We all have a desire to be understood by others. At the same time, do we make an effort to understand others? Starting the flow of giving and receiving tsewa creates a cycle of kindness where we nuture ourselves by nurturing others. It can start with a smile. As our hearts open with tsewa our reach can be limitless because it is generated from within. With this, our joy can also become limitless.

    The Intention to Return (Link #743)

    Speaker: Dungse Jampal Norbu. Dungse-la stresses the importance of aspiration to navigate life's circumstances and work with them in an uplifted manner. For example, when we get lost in our daily activities, not moving in any particular direction, he advises us to apply ourselves to a meaningful goal, or aspiration. In this way all our intentions culminate toward that goal. He speaks at length about having a fierce intention to return to aspiration bodhicitta, the vehicle that transforms an obstacle into a blessing. In this way we avoid the subtle neurosis of ego-grasping, which can turn blessings into obstacles.

    Buddha's Advocate Part 2: Know Thyself and Phenomena Too (Link #742)

    Speaker: Suzy Greanias. Suzy delves into the two truths, the worldly relative truth and the supreme ultimate truth, which are the framework in which the Buddha taught. As Buddhists, we are familiar with the words of the Heart Sutra, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form", but rather than understanding their profound inseparability, many of us have the tendency to split these two truths. We all want the realization of emptiness, but we regard the appearance of compounded phenomena as painful, a kind of a nuisance. This lead Suzy on a journey to unpack the three types of valid cognition, which we can use to investigate the absolute and the relative. She then spoke about the nature of things within the Mahayana and how the Buddha's teaching on non-self is one of the main tenets of the two truths.

    A Bodhisattva Has Only One Wish (Link #741)

    Speaker: Nicholas Carter. Nick shares something Rinpoche told him on his 19th birthday: "Remember Nicholas, a bodhisattva has only one wish", but Rinpoche did not say what that wish was. Since then, Nick has come to learn that the path of the bodhisattva is a very personal path of discovery- discovery of the truth, in Sanskrit, "Dharma". We start with ourselves. We examine how we feel, how we behave, and we examine our motivations, which inevitably lead us to the truth of emptiness and dependent origination, the essence of the Buddha's teachings. Over time, and through the application of the three principles, we come to appreciate more fully the profundity of the four immeasurables in discovering for ourselves the path and wish of the bodhisattva.

    Moments that Turn My Mind Toward the Dharma (Link #740)

    Speaker: Lindsay Heppner. Lindsay describes how everyday life provides her with meaningful opportunities for practice "on the spot", including tonglen, mantra recitation and shamata meditation. Recent natural disasters such as the earthquake in Tibet and the fires in Los Angeles, as well as past travels to India allowed her to feel acutely the suffering of others, provoking a sincere wish to alleviate that suffering. In these cases, Lindsay relied on the practice of tonglen. Feeling the pain and suffering of others, Lindsay inhales their pain into herself and in return, and exhales while sending them love and complete relief from their suffering. After having been injured in a recent ski accident, Lindsay described how reciting the 100-syllable mantra in the moment provided immediate relief from her own fear and suffering. Whether performing her work as an in-home, elder care counselor or as a mother relating to her teenage sons, she has found shamata meditation to be a reliable practice to maintain a calm and peaceful state of mind, allowing her to remain present in her interactions with others.

    Contemplating the New Year (Link #739)

    Speaker: Dungse Jampal Norbu. Dungse-la shares his thoughts and advise for the new year ahead. For a fresh start, he underscores the importance of cultivating a positive mental attitude to counteract negativity. Looking forward to brighter horizons, he recommends setting aspirations for the year ahead. We must remind ourselves that despite how things may appear, we have the ability to break the cycle of samsara and this starts with taking refuge in the Three Jewels.
