(Insight Meditation Community of Richmond) Recognizing and Cultivating the Wholesome

(Cambridge Insight Meditation Center) The Buddha taught, “Whoever is addicted to society and worldly bustle, they will not partake of the happiness of renunciation, dispassion, peace, and awakening.” Wisdom and awareness practice is an invitation to wholeness and intimacy. We practice opening and receiving the activities of the mind and body with a wisdom that discerns the futility and stressfulness of attachment. The renunciation of attachment is a natural result of seeing things as they are, that all experiences arise and pass lawfully following impersonal causes and conditions. Renunciation, letting go, or letting be, is a profound giving of the heart to the moment just as it is.

(Insight Meditation Community of Richmond) Drawing on the Buddha's Simile of the Cloth (MN7), this talk explores how greed, aversion, and delusion stain the mind and obscure clear seeing. We look at how these defilements manifest in meditation and everyday experience, and how to meet them with awareness rather than resistance.

(Insight Meditation Community of Richmond) An introduction to the retreat theme of Awakening the Pure Heart.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) After some personal stories from Donald about his father, who was a veteran, and about Donald’s experiences growing up at the time of the Vietnam war and being introduced to nonviolence, we explore the three main dimensions of our practice (training in ethics, meditation, and wisdom) related to the holiday. We focus on the ethical teachings about killing and nonviolence, including the complexities of these teachings; the importance of bringing mindfulness to grief, loss, and sadness, and of grounding in kindness, compassion, and love; and the wisdom and insight teachings about seeing the roots of violence. The talk is followed by discussion.

(Insight Santa Cruz)

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) Right View is seeing in a way that aligns with reality. It is not a static belief or fixed opinion, but an ongoing, dynamic, experiential alignment with what is true. Right View brings the mind and heart into harmony, like a wheel properly set on its axle. With Right View comes clarity. We begin to see the distortions caused by clinging, greed, hatred, and delusion, and that seeing empowers us to act in ways that reduce suffering. One of the most important teachings on wise view, the Sammādiṭṭhi Sutta (MN 9), offers a simple organizing principle—a kind of Dhamma algorithm—that, when practiced, can lead to greater well-being, deeper wisdom, and ultimately freedom from grief, sorrow, lamentation, dukkha, and distress.

(Online) Drawing on the Mettā Sutta, this talk from Clear Dharma Sangha explores mettā as a way of life, a profound wish for the safety and happiness of all beings, and a way of seeing. Through the practice of the neutral person, we begin to extend goodwill beyond preference — and to cultivate a refuge that steadies us not to escape, but to turn toward the world with clarity, courage, and care.

(Insight Meditation Community of Richmond) Every moment of experience arrives simple and bare, but the mind rarely leaves it that way. This talk explores SN 35.95, the Māluṅkyaputta Sutta, and Māluṅkyaputta's insight that suffering is not in what we experience, but in what we add to it.
