What Do You Mean It's Not Mine???
23 april 2023 · 25 min
Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
"Not mine, not I, not myself" is a phrase that appears in various suttas. It can be a useful reminder to let go. We cling to material things, people, and of course ourselves. When we lose something or someone, or when that idea of who I am suddenly shifts, it can manifest in significant suffering. In this episode, Doug and Jon discuss how they relate to this sutta and how it can be a helpful reminder when we find ourselves in the jaws of dukkha.

What is non-dualism all about? Is it a practice? Is it a way of looking at the world? Or is it just words? Yes and. . .
We'll discuss the dharma and practice of non-dualism. Was it found in the early texts? How do we understand and use it?

What's the Story with Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and the idea of Secular Mindfulness
9 april 2023 · 28 min
Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
The training called Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in the late '70s and could be credited with the concept of "secular mindfulness." It is taught worldwide by hundreds of teachers and has been the topic of well over 1000 scientific research papers. Is it Buddhist? Is it effective? Jon Aaron is one of the prominent teachers of this curriculum and a trainer of new teachers. He and Doug talk about the Buddhist underpinnings of this curriculum as well as it's impact on the secular mindfulness movement.

Does Clinging to Our Views Get Us Anywhere?
2 april 2023 · 27 min
Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
What are the Buddha's views about views? How are the ways we hold opinions about politics, people, food, etc, different from clinging to spiritual views? The Buddha had a lot to say about this but how do we put it into practice. How does our clinging to views, most importantly views about ourselves, impede our progress on the path?

Signposts Along the Way
26 maart 2023 · 26 min
Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
The Seven Awakening Factors are a fundamental teaching in the early Buddhist Suttas. In an active form, these factors can be a valuable antidote to any of the Five Hindrances. In a passive way, as we meditate, they can act as signposts informing us both where we are and what is needed at any given moment. Throughout our day, they can work in the same way.
Each of these factors warrants its own podcast, but here we discuss them as a whole.

The Benefactors in Our Lives
5 maart 2023 · 26 min
Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
Metta--the quality of unconditional love is considered one of the boundless qualities of the heart. We often have beings in our lives who embody this quality and have been there for us regardless of how we are, or what we have done. These beings could be grandparents, an aunt or uncle, perhaps our parents (though most parents knowingly or not have conditions to their love), our 1st-grade teacher, or even a family dog. Recalling these benefactors is of great help if we have trouble connecting with the kind of love.
In this episode, we discuss the benefactors in our lives and how the impact they can have.Support the show

As Jon returns from his heart surgery and recovery, we discuss the practice of patience, which is considered one of the Perfections of the Heart (Parami). While heart surgery itself is miraculous, perfecting the heart by cultivating this quality of patience (among others) is no less so. We look at ways to develop patience throughout our day.

Where is the Line Between Healthy Desire and Greed?
29 januari 2023 · 30 min
Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
Some folks believe that Buddhism requires us to let go of all desires. This is actually a misinterpretation of the teachings. There are undoubtedly healthy and unhealthy desires, and if one desire turns into greed, we have crossed the line. That line is only sometimes as apparent as we might think. In this episode, we discuss what the Buddha says about this and how what we have to learn from these teachings.

This Fathom Long Body
4 december 2022 · 25 min
Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
"Yet it is just within this fathom-long body, endowed with perception and cognition, that I declare that there is the world, the origination of the world, the cessation of the world, and the path of practice leading to the cessation of the world.” In this quote from the Rohitassa sutta the Buddha addresses the knowing body. All that we know and experience is in this body.
So embodied practice is not the practice of cognitive understanding (though this is important) but rather a result of our direct experience. Embodied practice is when our actions are a result of heartfelt wisdom. Where the rubber meets the road.
Doug and Jon discuss what is meant by embodiment and how do we know when we know.Support the show

Post-Thanksgiving Edition- Buddhist Practice and Food
27 november 2022 · 30 min
Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
As we head out of the week of Thanksgiving we consider eating and food in the context of early Buddhist practices. For those of who are used to eating three meals a day--a very western European way-- the notion of eating on the early Buddhist monastic schedule of one basic meal a day before noon would seem rather strange if not impossible to hold to. Of course, we don't go out for alms rounds to obtain our food and our daily schedules are quite different. There is also the question of our attitude toward food and eating. In this episode Doug and Jon explore eating as a practice and how meditation and Buddhism impacts (or not!) their food habits.

As we record this episode, Elon Musk has recently purchased Twitter. His purchase raises all sorts of questions relevant to Buddhist practice, perhaps most importantly of Right Speech. What should be allowed online? How should we practice on Twitter or other social media platforms? Does our written communication actually inline with our intent and do we have a sense of how it might land with others? This is where our mindfulness practice truly makes a difference.

Key and Peele Text Gone WrongSmall Kindnesses
By Danusha Laméris
I’ve been thinking about the way, when you walk
down a crowded aisle, people pull in their legs
to let you by. Or how strangers still say “bless you”
when someone sneezes, a leftover
from the Bubonic plague. “Don’t die,” we are saying.
And sometimes, when you spill lemons
from your grocery bag, someone else will help you
pick them up. Mostly, we don’t want to harm each other.
We want to be handed our cup of coffee hot,
and to say thank you to the person handing it. To smile
at them and for them to smile back. For the waitress
to call us honey when she sets down the bowl of clam chowder,
and for the driver in the red pick-up truck to let us pass.
We have so little of each other, now. So far
from tribe and fire. Only these brief moments of exchange.
What if they are the true dwelling of the holy, these
fleeting temples we make together when we say, “Here,
have my seat,” “Go ahead — you first,” “I like your hat.”Support the show

Is Fame a Route to Happiness or Suffering?

The Buddha became a pretty famous guy, but what did fame mean to him? Did he even think about it? Fame was not something he sought. He just taught and became well known through his teachings. If he had access to social media would he have used it? Fame and renown is certainly not the secret to happiness but so many strive for it. Join us as we discuss this interesting topic and what it means to us.

Buddhism in the Natural World

Send us Fan Mail Lees meer
Buddhism was originally practiced in the forests and it was evolving at a time when much of society was seeing itself as a separate from nature by trying to control it. The Buddha, it is written, always went into the forest when he took leave from his sangha for retreat. In this episode, Doug and Jon explore the importance of reconnecting with the natural world as part of our practice. What do we learn about ourselves and how the core teachings, particularly around 'non-self' are illuminated through re-connecting with the natural world.

Dealing with Politics in the Buddhist Context

The Buddha taught that we don't hold to fixed views. Politics often finds its way into spiritual context and can be a slippery slope. Some of us may assume that all Buddhist have the same stance on particular issues but this is rarely the case. Some political situations are important to bring up in a Buddhist context and a definitely place of investigation. How do we work with our own fixed views and the fixed views of others. Our practice, may bring us to a place of softening such views which then might create a place of common ground.
