When we bear ill-will to anyone in life, it's a sign that there is some hatred being carried within. This is self-harming. It's like taking poison. Even worse, if we dwell in poisoned habits of thought, fear, anger, selfishness, or careless ways of b... more

Come out of the shadows. There, ego is silent. It has no say in our intuitive knowing of what we truly are. When universal truths come to light within us, we see all as impermanent, not who we are – and empty of any self. With pure present awareness,... more

The Dhamma path is one of blessings – for our own life and for the joy of other beings who also benefit. So we train ourselves to live ethically and kindly in our actions, speech, and even our thoughts. This is a noble commitment to harmlessness, int... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Joy, Ayya Anuruddha
Q: Would it be possible to avoid being overwhelmed by horror movie previews or other frightening stimuli, while still engaging with the world honestly?
The approach is to watch our minds and practice, allowing the thought processes to come and go as impermanent, and to protect the mind by not over-stimulating it; value your training and surrounding influences, and choose spaces and companions that support mindful practice.
Trust Wisdom, Ayya Anuruddha
Q: If you have any thoughts on the ways that you have found or witnessed the practice and how the practice might manifest in the scientific world, in the lay world for people outside of the monastery, and the ways that you saw the form of the practice being used by others, or ways you applied it yourself to the way the modern scientific and research world operates?
The speaker describes moving from a medical/science background to teaching and integrating inquiry with practice, noting that science excels at thinking but that deeper practice goes beyond thinking; they see value in using science as a metaphor and a source of reflection on change, impermanence, and the limits of conceptual knowledge.
Trust Wisdom, Ayya Anuruddha
Q: So, I have a question about just about vulnerability and sensitivity. Do you see that as being something that arises when we are opening, or when we are moving into seeing ourselves in a deeper way?
The guest explains that vulnerability and sensitivity are natural, varying with conditioning and openness, and that true practice helps discern when sensitivity is healthy versus when it becomes a pattern that harms connection, with growth occurring through honest self-observation.
A Gift for Everyone, Ayya Anuruddha
Q: How to reconnect with love as someone who didn't grow up with much love around and shut off their emotions?
The speaker explains the importance of recognizing limitations in past experiences of love, suggesting that understanding and acknowledging the inner void is a step toward reconnecting with love.
Vanquish Hatred With Love, Ayya Nimmala
Q: Ideas on how to help people see their response is not itself kind?
One must realize that despite external negativity, cultivating kindness within ourselves can change our interactions and help others see the benefit of kindness, even when they are not reciprocating it.
