  • 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.

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.
The Body Knows
Q: Could you expand on when you were talking about knowing the right amount, especially beyond food to feelings and desires?
It's about distinguishing intuitive body signals from mental reactivity; the aim is to recognize the right amount in any domain, not just eating, by listening to the body and letting that non-conceptual awareness guide response.
The Buddha Said No to War; Isn’t That Just Weakness?
Q: How does the early Buddhist community reconcile violence or killing that occurred before ordination, such as Angulimala's past, with the monastic path?
Angulimala's transformation shows that past actions do not permanently define a person; through ordination and ethical conduct, he can achieve awakening, illustrating that the path is about present intent and ongoing wholesome action rather than dwelling on past misdeeds.
Why “More” Means “Less”
Q: With AI and pervasive information, are there skillful ways to navigate and still maintain Dhamma practice?
Treat AI as a tool but avoid letting it dictate attention or chain you to constant connectivity. Use deliberate breaks, non-digital activities, and retreats to reset awareness; bring mindful reflection to how information is used and balance it with compassionate action that does not rely on constant data consumption.
