  • Christians listening, too.

    I have been listening for many years, and I’m a priest in one of the branches of Christianity. It hurts a bit when speakers speak insensitively or in overly general, facile ways about our Christian spirituality, which can actually be greatly enhanced by Buddhist wisdom. I ask dhamma speakers to consider that it is ignorance of Right Speech to do, and hinders us all in the bonds on compassion. 🪷 Respectfully offered. Radiant silence. Peace. Metta. Samadhi. 🪷

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

I Know You, Māra
Q: Could the Buddha be referring to how we move between Māra states of mind and better states of mind, as everyday concerns pull us away from practice?
Amaro agrees that this is precisely one useful way to understand the teaching. Recognizing the deceptive pull of a thought or impulse, rather than merely labeling it, helps it lose its power and prevents people from being dominated by it.
I Know You, Māra
Q: Is Māra just our defilements or is it more than that? And if it's more than that, is there any skillful means to deal with Māra in daily life?
Amaro describes Māra as spanning coarse and subtle defilements, from desire and aversion to identification with the body, personality, and the sense of being an experiencer. He recommends recognizing feelings and reactions as conditioned states through mindfulness and wisdom, rather than treating them as inherently true or acting automatically on them.
Is Belief in Kamma-vipāka the Same as Determinism?
Q: How are decisions made? Are choices predetermined karmically or is there awareness in the moment?
Awareness and intention shape actions; skillful intention leads to skillful kamma, while unskillful intention leads to suffering. Ultimately, much depends on present awareness and the ability to observe and adjust in the moment.
Why Is Everything Burning? And Why Is Disenchantment the Fire Extinguisher?
Q: What should you do in a moment of intense anxiety or anger to prevent burning?
Acknowledge the unwholesome emotion as it arises, step back, practice replacement with a wholesome thought or action, and use discernment to prevent spiraling into craving or aversion.
Why Is Everything Burning? And Why Is Disenchantment the Fire Extinguisher?
Q: How would you contain or push away the negative aspects while keeping the positive parts in a mixed-emotion situation?
Recognize that both positive and negative feelings arise and cease; avoid clinging to either by using discernment, and, when overwhelmed, replace unwholesome thoughts with wholesome ones, allowing the mind to settle.
