(Insight Meditation Community of Berkeley) James has been offering reflections on the Dhammapada, the Buddha's collection of pithy teachings, and how they can be practically applied in our lives. Dhammapada Verse #165 emphasizes that individuals are responsible for the direction of their own spiritual unfolding. No external force or person can do it for us.

(Sumedharama Monastery (Casa de Oração Santa Rafaela Maria))

(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.
