  • Exudes lack of peace and joy

    I don’t mind that he is self-taught and achieved his enlightenment on his own. However, there is a very good reason that monks often wait a decade or more after ordination before being permitted to give Dhamma talks. David’s hurried speaking is a symptom of a lack of maturity in the Dhamma and quite off-putting for those used to Dhamma talks and lectures given by monks or trained laypeople. I believe that he means well and may be knowledgeable, but listeners should be wary of his self-aggrandize... more

  • Thorough and practical

    This is an excellent introduction to the teachings of the Buddha presented in clear and accessible language. Unlike many Buddhist podcasts, this one is practical rather than aspirational, and is a very useful guide and how to start and build a practice. I always thought the goal of the path was enlightenment, but now I know it's enlight-a-ment!

  • Beautiful teachings

    David Roylance is well spoken and direct in his presentation of the Buddha’s teachings. I like to mix it up, sometimes listening to a class on the Pali canon and sometimes taking a weeklong retreat. David’s approach is what I’ve been looking for for many years.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 1059 - (Group Learning Program) - The Four Stages of Enlightenment & The Ten Fetters at Wat Tung Yu
Q: how do you verify the return or non-return instead of it being a belief?
Verification comes through experiential understanding and, for some, memory of past lives as a corroborating factor; for most, verification occurs as the mind reduces discontentedness and progresses through the stages, providing observable changes in experience rather than blind faith.
Ep. 1059 - (Group Learning Program) - The Four Stages of Enlightenment & The Ten Fetters at Wat Tung Yu
Q: stream entry point, three questions. Conduct in rituals. Is perfection in the Sila required?
Perfection of moral conduct is needed to the degree outlined in the Eightfold Path; rites and rituals are not what leads to enlightenment. Practice and refinement of conduct, along with deepening understanding, are essential for entering the first stage of enlightenment.
Ep. 1053 - (Group Learning Program) - The Eight Fold Path - Moral Conduct (Part 2 of 3)
Q: My question is when you in kind of way optimize your own five factors, how do you react when the other people don't respect you in this way?
The approach is to avoid reacting and instead respond from a place of calm. Understand that disrespect reflects the other person's mind, not your own worth, and choose to respond calmly or walk away if needed to protect your own contentedness.
Ep. 1058 - (Pali Canon Study Group) - Breathing Mindfulness Meditation - Volume 7 - (Chapter 11-20)
Q: Okay, Samantha, can you explain what 'attainments' Samantha read refer to in the context of the mind's development?
They are advanced mental states accompanying progress on the path, including the Jhanas, developed through a combination of meditation and ethical living, not achieved by meditation alone, and requiring broader cultivation of wisdom and conduct.
Ep. 1052 - (Pali Canon Study Group) - The Natural Law of Kamma - Volume 6 - (Chapter 41-45)
Q: So is it correct that concentration and single-mindedness of action leads to the elimination of contact since awareness is necessary for contact?
Concentration helps create the wherewithal to step away from conflict, and by altering volitional formations you reduce ongoing contact and thus reduce associated karma, aiding the path toward emancipation.
