Anapanasati

Viveka's fresh and vibrant take on the traditional practice of anapanasati - mindfulness with breathing. Using the breath as a stabilizing presence, this series of meditations (including two fully-guided practices) is designed to help us discover the nature of reality itself by encouraging us to notice what is actually happening each moment in a direct and open way. Anapanasati is a complete path to awakening or enlightenment.

Jewel Ornament of Liberation

These reflections ask us to really take on board the 'unique occasion' of human life and, together with the reflection on the 'Ten Endowments', they descibe just how precious our human life is. Let yourself be led through them and take up the challenge of seeing just what positive circumstances we already have to do... Well, to do what with them? Therein lies the freedom and the challenge.

This is another in the series of talks from Taraloka inspired by Gampopa's text - 'The Jewel Ornament of Liberation'.

Given at Taraloka, December 2007

If we possess the 'Ten Endowments', then we are come to the right juncture in this precious human life of ours. Such is the teaching in Gampopa's 'Jewel Ornament of LiIberation'. This is part of a series of talks and reflections from Taraloka inspired by this text.

Endowment has connotations of a gift bequeathed, a legacy, something of value... if we do have some of these endowments then how are we to use them? This reflection featured on a 'Going for Refuge' meditation retreat focussing on spiritual death. Listen to this - and to its companion reflection on the 'Eight Freedoms' - you may find you are freer and more endowed than you think! And the only other thing you need is a faithful heart.

System of MeditationBuddhism - System of Meditation

Spiritual Death is about death of our fixed, bounded self, the self that is made up of bundled habits and preferences and views - especially views about existence and non-existence. So don't be surprised if, when contemplating the impermanence and unreliability of that small self, you taste fear. It's natural enough in the circumstances. After all, fine to talk loftily about 'dying to one's ego', but who will be left after that's done? Where will 'I' be? Kulaprabha explores this with reference to two Pali Canon suttas. You'll also hear about the eldrich sound of barn owls at night!

This talk was given on retreat and is part of the series on the system of meditation of the Western Buddhist Order.

Talk given at Taraloka, May 2008.
