For many people who are not raised Buddhist, it may be confusing to approach this spiritual tradition or to feel &quot;a part of&quot;, especially because, for many people, it doesn&apos;t feel distinctly religious or dogmatic. But do we lose something by keeping our distance from identifying as a Buddhist? doesn&apos;t the buddha himself encourage us to not get lost in &quot;identification&quot; anyway?

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Apologies for the audio! We'll have it cleaned up next time. In this episode, Andrew begins a series of talks that are centered around the Buddhist Suttas, which are the recorded teachings that were passed down by the Buddha 2600 years ago. He starts it off by talking about the popular teaching of "The Second Arrow". The summary of the lesson here is: pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Enjoy!</p>

      <title>A Brief History of Buddhism</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Andrew attempts to tell a concise history of Buddhism--a 2600 year old tradition--in a single Dharma talk. Referencing the work of John Peacock, Andrew details an overview of what it might have actually been like to live during the time Siddhartha Gautama walked the Earth, and most importantly, how we can understand the significance of the Buddha's teachings within the context of the Religious, Economic and Social setting of the time.

      <title>The 3 Marks - Anatta</title>

      <title>The 3 Marks - Impermanence of Self</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Andrew continues a series of talks on the Buddha's teachings of the 3 Marks of Existence. How often do we suffer over the story the mind tells about ourselves? The endless comparisons, expectations, and negative self-talk. What if the Buddha told you that all of those stories are simply just thoughts? At first that may feel condescending, but once you sit in meditation and start taking the mind less personally, we can find so much freedom from its unhelpful stories and comments. Enjoy!</p>

      <itunes:subtitle>Andrew continues a series of talks on the Buddha&apos;s teachings of the 3 Marks of Existence. How often do we suffer over the story the mind tells about ourselves? The endless comparisons, expectations, and negative self-talk. What if the Buddha told you that all of those stories are simply just thoughts? At first that may feel condescending, but once you sit in meditation and start taking the mind less personally, we can find so much freedom from its unhelpful stories and comments.

      <title>The 3 Marks - Impermanence is King!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This is a continuation of a series of talks on the topic of "The 3 Marks of Existence". These are the essence of the Buddha's teachings: impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and not-self. Andrew kicks it off by talking about how we can notice impermanence on every scale of our lives: macro (birth, aging, illness, and death), mezzo (changing events and experiences in our lives), and micro (moment to moment changes in our sensory experience and mind). In particular, Andrew highlights how the Buddha teaches that sitting with the micro level of our experience helps us to acclimate to impermanence in a more internalized way. How meditation truly teaches us peace and equanimity with change. Enjoy!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode WHMC facilitator Roy Wyman takes a deep dive into Viparinama Dukkha.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>On the second morning of the Peace Within the Wild Heart Retreat, Marika Maypop offers an overview and meditation instructions on the 2nd foundation of mindfulness, "Mindfulness of Feeling Tone". By exploring our relationship with the pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral feelings of each moment, we can see how the mind's reactivity builds up, causing clinging and aversion. The link between feeling tone and reactivity is where the Buddha instructs us to practice letting go, and experiencing the liberation that comes from stepping out of reactive patterns in the mind.

      <title>LovingKindness Retreat - LovingKindness And The Five Hindrances</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Andrew offers a Dharma talk on LovingKindness and the Five Hindrances on the first night of the Memorial Day Weekend Retreat at Heartwood Refuge. He talks about these visiting tendencies of the mind -- craving, aversion, restlessness, lethargy, and doubt -- and how they obstruct wisdom. Rather than attempting to get rid of these mind states, the Buddha offers something more radical, to meet them with kind awareness. Kind awareness naturally diffuses their grip on the mind and helps us move out of the reactive habits that flow from these mind states. Enjoy!</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode Andrew talks about the second factor of the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path: "Wise Intention". Andrew discusses the link between Wise View and Wise Intention (the first two "wisdom factors" of the eightfold path), the 3 ways that the Buddha taught about intention in the suttas, and then finally he discusses the 3 wise intentions: renunciation, goodwill, and harmlessness. Renunciation combats craving and greed, Goodwill combats aversion or illwill, and Harmlessness combats cruelty or harm. We hope you enjoy!</p>

      <title>The Eightfold Path - Wise View</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Andrew speaks on the topic of Wise View. He talks about mindfulness being not just for the sole purpose of being present, but as a practice that radically changes the way that we see and relate to the world. In the Buddha's teachings, wisdom is cultivated by seeing our human experience through the lens of the 3 marks of existence: the impermanent, impersonal and imperfect nature of the world.</p>

      <title>The Fourth Noble Truth - The Eightfold Path</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Andrew discusses the Noble Eightfold Path. The Eightfold Path serves as a guiding structure that helps to bring forth our innate wisdom and compassion, rather than a set of rigid rules and requirements to follow heedlessly.

      <title>The Third Noble Truth - Awakening!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Andrew speaks on the topic of Awakening. Far from the ever-elusive state of bliss that we often think of when we hear the words awakening, enlightenment or nirvana, the Buddha was very clear that awakening is an on-going process of stepping out of reactivity through engaging with the eightfold path. Awakening isn't a special or privileged state that is only achieved by superior meditators, it is instead the cooling down of reactivity that is the natural result of cultivating a simple and pragmatic path of ethical living, mindfulness, and wisdom.</p>

These are core principles that we turn to for stability and support as we navigate the instability of trudging through life on life's terms. In a path that teaches of impermanence and the inconstancy of life, where can we find a solid ground to stand?

      <title>The Second Noble Truth - Craving &amp; Clinging</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Andrew continues the series on the Buddha's core teachings, the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, speaking on the topic of the Second Noble Truth: Craving & Clinging. Although life is unpredictable and largely outside of the realm of our control, we can learn to meet these ups and downs with less reactivity, with less craving and clinging. When we become reactive, we make life harder than it has to be. Mindfulness helps us to step back and observe when reactivity arises, without taking the bait. I hope you enjoy!</p>

      <title>Mindfulness of The Body</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode Mikey Noechel offers a talk on the first foundation of mindfulness, mindfulness of the body. He presents  specifically what is outlined in the Satipatthana Sutta. </p><p><strong>First foundation of mindfulness:  </strong></p><p>Thus have I heard.</p><p>At one time the Blessed One was living in the Kurus, at Kammasadamma, a market-town of the Kuru people.</p><p>Then the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus as follows: "This is the only way, O bhikkhus, for the purification of beings, for the overcoming of sorrow and lamentation, for the destruction of suffering and grief, for reaching the right path, for the attainment of Nibbana, namely, the Four Arousings of Mindfulness."</p><h3><strong>THE FOUR AROUSINGS OF MINDFULNESS</strong></h3><p>"What are the four?</p><p>"Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body, ardent, clearly comprehending (it) and mindful (of it), having overcome, in this world, covetousness and grief; he lives contemplating the feelings in the feelings, ardent, clearly comprehending (them) and mindful (of them), having overcome, in this world, covetousness and grief; he lives contemplating consciousness in consciousness, ardent, clearly comprehending (it) and mindful (of it), having overcome in this world covetousness and grief; he lives contemplating mental objects in mental objects, ardent, clearly comprehending (them) and mindful (of them), having overcome, in this world, covetousness and grief."</p><h3><strong>1. THE CONTEMPLATION OF THE BODY</strong></h3><p><strong>Mindfulness of Breathing</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And how, O bhikkhus, does a bhikkhu live contemplating the body in the body?</p><p>"Here, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, gone to the forest, to the foot of a tree, or to an empty place, sits down, bends in his legs crosswise on his lap, keeps his body erect, and arouses mindfulness in the object of meditation, namely, the breath which is in front of him.</p><p>"Mindful, he breathes in, and mindful, he breathes out. He, thinking, 'I breathe in long,' he understands when he is breathing in long; or thinking, 'I breathe out long,' he understands when he is breathing out long; or thinking, 'I breathe in short,' he understands when he is breathing in short; or thinking, 'I breathe out short,' he understands when he is breathing out short.</p><p>"'Experiencing the whole body, I shall breathe in,' thinking thus, he trains himself. 'Experiencing the whole body, I shall breathe out,' thinking thus, he trains himself. 'Calming the activity of the body, I shall breathe in,' thinking thus, he trains himself. 'Calming the activity of the body, I shall breathe out,' thinking thus, he trains himself.</p><p>"Just as a clever turner or a turner's apprentice, turning long, understands: 'I turn long;' or turning short, understands: 'I turn short'; just so, indeed, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, when he breathes in long, understands: 'I breathe in long'; or, when he breathes out long, understands: 'I breathe out long'; or, when he breathes in short, he understands: 'I breathe in short'; or when he breathes out short, he understands: 'I breathe out short.' He trains himself with the thought: 'Experiencing the whole body, I shall breathe in.' He trains himself with the thought: 'Experiencing the whole body, I shall breathe out.' He trains himself with the thought: 'Calming the activity of the body I shall breathe in.' He trains himself with the thought: 'Calming the activity of the body I shall breathe out.'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally, or he lives contemplating the body in the body externally, or he lives contemplating the body in the body internally and externally. He lives contemplating origination-things in the body, or he lives contemplating dissolution-things in the body, or he lives contemplating origination-and-dissolution-things in the body. Or indeed his mindfulness is established with the thought: 'The body exists,' to the extent necessary just for knowledge and remembrance, and he lives independent and clings to naught in the world. Thus, also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>The Modes of Deportment</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And further, O bhikkhus, when he is going, a bhikkhu understands: 'I am going'; when he is standing, he understands: 'I am standing'; when he is sitting, he understands: 'I am sitting'; when he is lying down, he understands: 'I am lying down'; or just as his body is disposed so he understands it.</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally, or he lives contemplating the body in the body externally, or he lives contemplating the body in the body internally and externally. He lives contemplating origination-things in the body, or he lives contemplating dissolution-things in the body, or he lives contemplating origination-and-dissolution-things, in the body. Or indeed his mindfulness is established with the thought: 'The body exists,' to the extent necessary just for knowledge and remembrance, and he lives independent and clings to naught in the world." Thus, also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>The Four Kinds of Clear Comprehension</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And further, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, in going forwards (and) in going backwards, is a person practicing clear comprehension; in looking straight on (and) in looking away from the front, is a person practicing clear comprehension; in bending and in stretching, is a person practicing clear comprehension; in wearing the shoulder-cloak, the (other two) robes (and) the bowl, is a person practicing clear comprehension; in regard to what is eaten, drunk, chewed and savored, is a person practicing clear comprehension; in defecating and in urinating, is a person practicing clear comprehension; in walking, in standing (in a place), in sitting (in some position), in sleeping, in waking, in speaking and in keeping silence, is a person practicing clear comprehension.</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally... and clings to naught in the world. Thus, also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>The Reflection on the Repulsiveness of the Body</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And further, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu reflects on just this body hemmed by the skin and full of manifold impurity from the soles up, and from the top of the hair down, thinking thus: 'There are in this body hair of the head, hair of the body, nails, teeth, skin, flesh, fibrous threads (veins, nerves, sinews, tendons), bones, marrow, kidneys, heart, liver, pleura, spleen, lungs, contents of stomach, intestines, mesentery, feces, bile, phlegm, pus, blood, sweat, solid fat, tars, fat dissolved, saliva, mucus, synovic fluid, urine.'</p><p>"Just as if, O bhikkhus, there were a bag having two openings, full of grain differing in kind, namely, hill-paddy, paddy, green-gram, cow-pea, sesamum, rice; and a man with seeing eyes, having loosened it, should reflect thinking thus: 'This is hill paddy; this is paddy, this is green-gram; this is cow-pea; this is sesamum; this is rice.' In the same way, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu reflects on just this body hemmed in by the skin and full of manifold impurity from the soles up, and from the top of the hair down, thinking thus: 'There are in this body: hair of the head, hair of the body, nails, teeth, skin, flesh, fibrous threads (veins, nerves, sinews, tendons), bones, marrow, kidneys, heart, liver, pleura, spleen, lungs, contents of the stomach, intestines, mesentery, feces, bile, phlegm, pus, blood, sweat, solid fat, tears, fat dissolved, saliva, mucus, synovic fluid, urine.'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body, internally... and clings to naught in the world.</p><p>"Thus also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>The Reflection on the Modes of Materiality (Elements, </strong></p><p><i><strong>Dhatu)</strong></i></p><p> </p><p>"And further, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu reflects on just this body according as it is placed or disposed, by way of the modes of materiality, thinking thus: 'There are in this body the mode of solidity, the mode of cohesion, the mode of caloricity, and the mode of oscillation.'</p><p>"O bhikkhus, in whatever manner, a clever cow-butcher or a cow-butcher's apprentice, having slaughtered a cow and divided it by way of portions, should be sitting at the junction of a four-cross-road; in the same manner, a bhikkhu reflects on just this body, according as it is placed or disposed, by way of the modes of materiality, thinking thus: 'There are in this body the mode of solidity, the mode of cohesion, the mode of caloricity, and the mode of oscillation.'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally... and clings to naught in the world.</p><p>"Thus also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>Cemetery Contemplation 1</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And further, O bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu, in whatever way, sees a body dead, one, two, or three days: swollen, blue and festering, thrown into the charnel ground, he thinks of his own body thus: 'This body of mine too is of the same nature as that body, is going to be like that body and has not got past the condition of becoming like that body.'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally... and clings to naught in the world.</p><p>"Thus, also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>Cemetery Contemplation 2</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And, further, O bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu, in whatever way, sees, whilst it is being eaten by crows, hawks, vultures, dogs, jackals or by different kinds of worms, a body that had been thrown into the charnel ground, he thinks of his own body thus: 'This body of mine, too, is of the same nature as that body, is going to be like that body, and has not got past the condition of becoming like that body.'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally or he lives contemplating the body in the body externally, or he lives contemplating the body in the body internally and externally. He lives contemplating origination-things in the body or he lives contemplating dissolution-things in the body, or he lives contemplating origination-and-dissolution-things in the body. Or indeed his mindfulness is established with the thought, 'The body exists,' to the extent necessary just for knowledge and remembrance, and he lives independent, and clings to naught in the world.</p><p>"Thus, also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>Cemetery Contemplation 3</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And, further, O bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu, in whatever way, sees a body, thrown in the charnel ground and reduced to a skeleton together with (some) flesh and blood held in by the tendons, he thinks of his own body thus: 'This body of mine, too, is of the same nature as that body, is going to be like that body, and has not got past the condition of becoming like that body.'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally, or he lives contemplating the body in the body externally, or he lives contemplating the body in the body internally and externally.</p><p>"He lives contemplating origination-things in the body or he lives contemplating dissolution-things in the body, or he lives contemplating origination-and-dissolution-things in the body. Or indeed, his mindfulness is established with the thought, 'The body exists,' to the extent necessary just for knowledge and remembrance, and he lives independent, and clings to naught in the world.</p><p>"Thus, also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>Cemetery Contemplation 4</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And, further, O bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu, in whatever way, sees a body thrown in the charnel ground and reduced to a blood-besmeared skeleton without flesh but held in by the tendons, he thinks of his own body thus: 'This body of mine, too, is of the same nature as that body, is going to be like that body, and has not got past the condition of becoming like that body.'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally... and clings to naught in the world.</p><p>"Thus, also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>Cemetery Contemplation 5</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And, further, O bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu, in whatever way, sees a body thrown in the charnel ground and reduced to a skeleton held in by the tendons but without flesh and not besmeared with blood, he thinks of his own body thus: 'This body of mind, too, is of the same nature as that body, is going to be like that body, and has not got past the condition of becoming like that body.</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally... and clings to naught in the world.</p><p>"Thus, also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>Cemetery Contemplation 6</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And, further, O bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu, in whatever way, sees a body thrown in the charnel ground and reduced to bones gone loose, scattered in all directions — a bone of the hand, a bone of the foot, a shin bone, a thigh bone, the pelvis, spine and skull, each in a different place — he thinks of his own body thus: 'This body of mine, too, is of the same nature as that body, is going to be like that body, and has not got past the condition of becoming like that body.'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally... and clings to naught in the world.</p><p>"Thus, also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>Cemetery Contemplation 7</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And, further, O bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu, in whatever way, sees a body thrown in the charnel ground and reduced to bones, white in color like a conch, he thinks of his own body thus: 'This body of mine, too, is of the same nature as that body, going to be like that body and has not got past the condition of becoming like that body;'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally... and clings to naught in the world.</p><p>"Thus, also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>Cemetery Contemplation 8</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And, further, O bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu, in whatever way, sees a body thrown in the charnel ground and reduced to bones more than a year old, heaped together, he thinks of his own body thus: 'This body of mine, too, is of the same nature as that body, is going to be like that body and has not got past the condition of becoming like that body.'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally... and clings to naught in the world.</p><p>"Thus, also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>Cemetery Contemplation 9</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And, further, O bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu, in whatever way, sees a body thrown in the charnel ground and reduced to bones gone rotten and become dust, he thinks of his own body thus: 'This body of mine too, is of the same nature as that body, is going to be like that body and has not got past the condition of becoming like that body.'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally, or he lives contemplating the body in the body externally, or he lives contemplating the body in the body internally and externally.

In the same way, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu reflects on just this body hemmed in by the skin and full of manifold impurity from the soles up, and from the top of the hair down, thinking thus: 'There are in this body: hair of the head, hair of the body, nails, teeth, skin, flesh, fibrous threads (veins, nerves, sinews, tendons), bones, marrow, kidneys, heart, liver, pleura, spleen, lungs, contents of the stomach, intestines, mesentery, feces, bile, phlegm, pus, blood, sweat, solid fat, tears, fat dissolved, saliva, mucus, synovic fluid, urine.'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body, internally... and clings to naught in the world.</p><p>"Thus also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>The Reflection on the Modes of Materiality (Elements, </strong></p><p><i><strong>Dhatu)</strong></i></p><p> </p><p>"And further, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu reflects on just this body according as it is placed or disposed, by way of the modes of materiality, thinking thus: 'There are in this body the mode of solidity, the mode of cohesion, the mode of caloricity, and the mode of oscillation.'</p><p>"O bhikkhus, in whatever manner, a clever cow-butcher or a cow-butcher's apprentice, having slaughtered a cow and divided it by way of portions, should be sitting at the junction of a four-cross-road; in the same manner, a bhikkhu reflects on just this body, according as it is placed or disposed, by way of the modes of materiality, thinking thus: 'There are in this body the mode of solidity, the mode of cohesion, the mode of caloricity, and the mode of oscillation.'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally... and clings to naught in the world.</p><p>"Thus also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>Cemetery Contemplation 1</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And further, O bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu, in whatever way, sees a body dead, one, two, or three days: swollen, blue and festering, thrown into the charnel ground, he thinks of his own body thus: 'This body of mine too is of the same nature as that body, is going to be like that body and has not got past the condition of becoming like that body.'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally... and clings to naught in the world.</p><p>"Thus, also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body."</p><p><strong>Cemetery Contemplation 2</strong></p><p> </p><p>"And, further, O bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu, in whatever way, sees, whilst it is being eaten by crows, hawks, vultures, dogs, jackals or by different kinds of worms, a body that had been thrown into the charnel ground, he thinks of his own body thus: 'This body of mine, too, is of the same nature as that body, is going to be like that body, and has not got past the condition of becoming like that body.'</p><p>"Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally or he lives contemplating the body in the body externally, or he lives contemplating the body in the body internally and externally.

      <title>The Paramis - Effort &amp; Energy</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Andrew continues the series of talks on the 10 Paramis, discussing the topic of "Effort & Energy". It's said that the Buddha taught about effort more than any other topic in his Noble Eightfold Path, which is likely because of how essential it is for the development of wisdom and compassion, as well as the nuance of how to cultivate energy without becoming rigid or falling into the other extreme of lethargy or complacency. </p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Andrew discusses the essential Buddhist teachings of the Five Aggregates and Anatta ("not-self"). Rather than a philosophical or intellectual undertaking, the Buddha encourages meditators to contemplate the impermanent and impersonal nature of the mind-body process. Through our investigation of the causes and conditions that make up our direct experience, we come to see the nature of reality, that "we" (as people) are not-selfs (I.e. permanent entities that exist as nouns), but an ever changing flow of phenomena arising and passing in each moment. </p>

      <title>Wise Action - Embodiment &amp; Engagement</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Andrew discusses the 4th factor of the Buddha's eightfold path, "Wise Action". In order to bring better clarity to discerning the skillfulness and appropriateness of our behavior, we must first look at Wise View and Intention as a way to challenge the distortions of perception and the aspirational principles that should be guiding our decisions; this lays the foundation for embodying these principles instead of just "believing in them". As we learn to embody principles in our lives, we can move into the world into a place of engagement that is better in line with our values and moves us towards more collective harmony and peace as a society.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>“People have suffered in one place, so they go somewhere else. When they have suffered there, they run off again. They think they are running away from suffering, but they are not. It goes with them. They carry suffering around without knowing it.

      <title>The Faith to &quot;Let Go&quot;</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Why do we keep doing things that cause suffering in our lives? Usually, it's because those destructive habits temporarily provide us with comfort, even though they don't serve our long-term wellbeing. When we practice letting go of destructive habits or thoughts, there is often a fear of losing the temporary relief that those thoughts and behaviors provide. In letting go, it requires that we practice resting in the faith of our spiritual practice- the faith to persevere through the discomfort and into the liberation that comes from letting go of things that no longer serve our happiness.</p>

      <title>Guest Speaker - Dave Cuomo - From Angel City Zen Center</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Recorded live in Nashville, TN! Asked to introduce Zen and share his own personal journey Dave goes bare bones honest with a talk about giving up and giving in to disillusionment and the liberation that comes when the bottom drops out on life and reality turns out to be nothing like what you asked for. Dave drops some history with Zen's beginnings amid the chaos of 9th century China and the worst disaster in human history and how Zen gave the only honest answer to that moment with its great promise of nothing. He goes on to tells his own story of giving up at the bottom of the barrel and the happy hopelessness you find when you finally admit to what you don't know. Along the way the sangha discusses how to help people in a world where no one wants your help, how to be angry without getting angry, and why you would never recommend Zen to a friend you want to keep.</p>

      <title>Uprooting Jealousy, Envy, &amp; Scarcity - Taking Delight in the Joy of Others</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Andrew offers a talk on &quot;Sympathetic Joy&quot;, which is the practice of taking active delight in the joy and successes of others. We often get caught up in comparison, competition, and insecurity when we hear about others' successes; this usually comes from a place of scarcity (that there is not enough) or a fear of falling out of our place in the tribe (that we are losing our status). The Buddha offered a practice for working with these common expressions of fear, calling &quot;Sympathetic Joy&quot; one of the sublime states of mind.</p>

      <title>Craving... And its End</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Andrew shares some reflections on the Buddha's personal path to awakening - leaving the comfort of worldly pleasures in seek of deeper abiding fulfillment. He discusses how the Buddha uncovered the cause of much of human dissatisfaction to be led by a seemingly unquenchable desire for things to be different than the way they are in the present experience - this is what is called, tanha, or craving. The Buddha taught a way of cultivating a deeper sense of abiding happiness that is not dependent upon craving for temporary conditions to be pleasant; this deeper happiness is what we call the Noble Eightfold Path (wise view, intention, speech, action, effort, mindfulness, and concentration).</p>

      <title>Dukkha... What is it good for?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Andrew discusses one of the most essential of the Buddha's teachings: the reflection into the nature of dukkha -- dis-ease, stress, &amp; dissatisfaction. How do we learn to cope with the inherent fragility and unpredictability of living in a world that is ruled by ever-changing conditions? Learning to embrace the vulnerability of the human condition is the heart of the Buddhist quest for awakening. Seeing clearly into the nature of reactivity in the mind and learning to embrace what is, instead of what is wanted or not wanted.</p>

      <title>Awakening the Heart of Joy</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The Buddha's path of practice is aimed at extinguishing the fires of greed, hatred, and delusion that so often overwhelm our unconscious motivations and behaviors. In doing so, we must learn how to look deeply into our own minds to examine our beliefs and motivations and learn to practice and intentional way of relating to the changing conditions of our lives. Our ability to awaken demands that we have access to enjoyment, learning to take active delight in the pleasures and successes of our lives without falling into the habit of enmeshment, obsession, or unhealthy attachment. We must also learn to take delight and sympathize with the goodness of all beings. Having an ability to see the good in others allows for the development of a compassionate heart, one that dissolves the barriers of separateness that so often keep us isolated and in conflict.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Forming intimate relationships are necessary for both an integrated sense of self in the world and the development of healthy coping mechanisms to help us overcome life's inherent struggles. Often times, some of our most troubling experiences stem from our interactions with others.

In this talk, Andrew explores how the Buddha's teachings on Wise Communication can bring us into healthy relationships.</p>

      <title>The Wisdom of Dissatisfaction</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Often times we develop clarity and wisdom through the most challenging aspects of our lives. As we embark on a contemplative path of practice, we learn to tune into more moments of experience and investigate the nature of dissatisfaction in the mind. Although we will never rid our lives of painful physical, emotional, or mental experiences, through practice, we learn that we can, indeed, come to liberate ourselves from the very habits that perpetuate further depths of dissatisfaction and distress -- the &quot;extra&quot; suffering. The Buddha discussed the importance of fully knowing the wide breadth of our humanity -- the pleasure &amp; pain, gain &amp; loss, and beauty &amp; tragedy of our lives. Learning to embrace the existential reality: we are susceptible to woundedness, but we don't have to wound ourselves.</p>

      <title>Tending to the Fields of Experience</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The process of awakening is likened to tending to a field for harvest. The growth and deepening of wisdom develops as we learn to: 1. Survey the land, 2. Plan &amp; Prepare the field, 3. Plant the seeds, 4. Tend to the crop, and 5. Pick the fruit. The Buddhist path of practice invites us to take a seat in the middle of several fields of experience, amidst the intersection of our internal &amp; external lives. The Buddha offered a holistic map in which we can navigate and tend to our fields of experience with greater clarity, empathy, and wisdom:  complete view, wise intention, wise speech, action, and livelihood, and wise effort, mindfulness, &amp; concentration</p>

      <title>Walking the Line: judgement or discernment?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The historical Buddha's style of teaching was open, inviting personal exploration and investigation (pali sanskrit term, Ehipassiko, meaning &quot;come and see&quot;). Although the encouragement of mindfulness practice is to bear witness to one's own subjective involvement in moment to moment experience, we can often fall into the trap of judging our experience as &quot;right&quot; or &quot;wrong&quot; or &quot;good&quot; or &quot;bad&quot;.</p>
<p>“Although discerning skillful from unskillful is basic to the Buddha’s teaching, in our Western culture it is a very delicate process. For many people, it is an easy step from recognizing a particular mind state, [mood, or attitude] as being unwholesome to the feeling that you’re a bad person for having it, or that somehow it’s wrong for the mind state to even arise. This pattern of reaction simply leads to more self-judgment, more aversion, and more suffering. It’s not a helpful cycle” - Joseph Goldstein.</p>

      <title>Forgiveness: breaking free from the prison of the past</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Often, when we build up our defenses around the heart, we are trapping ourselves inside the walls with the pain we are trying to protect.<br />
Forgiveness is the intentional practice of &quot;giving up any hope for a better past&quot;, learning to dissolve the resentments towards ourselves and others that keep us bound to past experiences. We can learn to understand that harm is caused out of suffering, and we can learn to let people back into our hearts, without letting them back into our homes.</p>

      <title>Wise Action: Stabilization &amp; Support</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The eightfold path factor of Wise Action is not meant to be another set of commandments or rules that will help us become a better Buddhist, but instead a set of trainings that help us to engage with our day-to-day lives with more ease and wellbeing. In order to 'act' with more ease, we must learn to SLOW DOWN, gauge the impact of our emotions, and develop supports that encourage changes in behavior. Before we jump into discussing Wise Action, it's important to discuss Stabilization &amp; Support.</p>

      <title>First Noble Truth</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The following is a talk from Against the Stream Nashville Founder, Dave Smith, that he gave while teaching a retreat at New Life Foundation in Thailand. Dave discusses the &quot;Wisdom of Dissatisfaction&quot; as it relates to Buddhist teaching and practice. The First Noble Truth is the cornerstone of the path to developing a deeper understanding of the ways in which we self-generate stress and often dismiss, avoid, or avert our attention from what is painful and difficult. Often, in our efforts to avoid pain, we often create more pain. Dave discusses the importance of turning towards the difficulty of life as a way of liberating the heart and deepening our understanding of human nature. Enjoy!</p>

      <title>Spiritual Urgency</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Andrew discusses the role of commitment and motivation in the undertaking of spiritual practice. He talks about the pali sanskrit word, samvega (“spiritual urgency”) as a foundational element of Buddhist practice. This talk spotlights the five reflections (Upajjhatthana Sutta) as a tool for remembering the temporariness of our life, health, and wellbeing. By taking time to reflect on the impermanent nature of life, we can remember how important it is to be present and available for the many challenges and joys that make life meaningful.</p>
