We then introduce one of the three forms of deeper inquiry into views mentioned, the approach of Nagjarjuna (c. 150-250 C.E.), the "second Buddha." Nagarjuna demonstrated a method of showing how any reacti...

Donald Rothberg: Practicing with Views 2
December 02, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 67.2 MB(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We continue to explore the important, complex, and often challenging theme of practicing with views (or beliefs)--a central theme of individual practice and a vital area in the contemporary collective context. We first review the teachings of the Buddha on views, mentioning several key texts in which it's clear that he takes a highly pragmatic approach to views; views are helpful if they are conducive to awakening and traditional Indian metaphysical views are b...

Donald Rothberg: Exploring the Buddha's Core Teaching: "I teach Dukkha and the End of Dukkha"
November 30, 2020 20:10 - 1 hour - 59.5 MB(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) The Buddha famously said, “I have dukkha and the end of dukkha.” Yet it can be confusing to know what the Buddha might have meant. One reason for the confusion is that there are multiple accounts of dukkha in the discourses; we explore four of them, finding that, for the first three, it doesn't make sense to speak of the "the end of dukkha." Only for the fourth sense of dukkha, which we find both in the teaching of the Two Arrows (or Darts) and in the teaching...

James Baraz: Transformation is Possible
November 19, 2020 20:30 - 50 minutes - 69.2 MB(Insight Meditation Community of Berkeley) When we start the spiritual journey we see that our mind is filled with unskillful habits of thought, colored by attachment, aversion and confusion.

This purification process leads ultimately to full awakening. The talk includes the Buddha's teaching of how this process wor...
