Reflection and Practice
Notice the pleasure and joy that arises around the choices to be ethical or not. What pleasure is short-term, based on conditions? What joy is long-term, based on actions? What is the role of internal vs. external motivation around ethics? -

Reflections
Make note of “moral beauty” this week whenever you encounter it—instances of the heart functioning well, in the service of the well-being of others. What is it like to make note of that?
Are there areas in your life that you notice helpful remorse or regret—concerns about doing something that may have violated your own sense of integrity, or concerns about potentially causing harm to others? In your experience, what is the difference between the kind of remorse that may lead to more skillful action in the future, and the kind that is shame-driven and paralyzing?

Customer Reviews
Thankful!
Thankful to have access to these even though I currently live outside of the US. Lots of wisdom and thoughtfulness. Please keep sharing so the rest of the world can continue to benefit. Sending metta to Seattle.
So helpful.
This has been a boon to me as a new father. I am unable to leave the house to go to the wonderful dharma talks around MN so hearing these from WA is the next best thing! Very good people out West and maybe someday I'll be able to see the center.
Working on being a Buddha and this podcast helps.
Absolutely the BEST talk I've heard on Buddhism.
Rodney Smith's talk--particularly the "Fourth foundation" is amazing and beautiful and eye opening. He breaks it all down without pretense & ends it so very beautifully that one feels there is nothing more important that following the spiritual path he sets before you.
