The Path of Understanding and Love

CD33 - 46:20 min

In our life if we do not truly understand, we cannot really love.  We may have good intention, but without looking deeply, we may end up unintentionally cause more harm than good.  To bring about harmony, reconciliation, and healing within, we have to first understand.  To develop deep understanding, we need to practice looking at all living beings with the eyes of compassion and indiscrimination.  And once we understand, we cannot help but love.  This dharma talk was given at a non-religious workshop in the winter of 2006 in Reston, Virginia.

The Art of Transformation

CD34 - 43:27 min

In our busy lives, we often struggle in dealing with the difficulties of life.  If we don’t know how to stay balanced, we can become quite stressed and discouraged.  Mindfulness meditation is a 2,500 years old practice that is more than just about being present.  It is a deep practice that brings both body and mind together in the present moment, so that we can truly experience life as it is.  Life is filled with challenges, but life is also filled with wonders.  To only experience difficulties is not enough.  We must also learn to be in touch with peace and joy which are present in every moment.  However, in our busy lives, we forget how to be in touch with these wonderful and nurturing energies.  This dharma talk was given at a weekend meditation retreat in the Fall of 2007 at Sinh Thuc Meditation Center in Wardensville, West Virginia.
