Practice Instructions: Working With The First Foundation Of Mindfulness

Sankhara dukkha (the stress/suffering of everyday life) is often obscured because most of us are so accustomed to it. It often appears as "inconvenience." Yet its also one of the most accessible doorways to waking up and liberation when we don't turn away.

Waking Up To Everyday Inconvenience

Karma is action in Buddhism, driven by intention. With practice we cultivate the ability to choose our response and our actions, internally and externally. We might think our intentions are good and so our actions will follow, but our intentions are often under the influence of strong conditioning that prevents us from living our choices. But with practice, we can find our way to greater freedom.

Karma, Choice And The Mind

Exploring Emptiness And Compassion

This talk explores the way in which we may begin to feel our practice and the dharma path is naturally embedded in our lives and also the times when we feel distant.

When The Path Becomes Natural

In this track, instead of doing metta practice, we switch to being metta (lovingkindness). When our hearts are open we can radiate lovingkindness without limit.

Boundless Heart Guided Meditation

In Joseph's first podcast for the Be Here Now Network he clearly brings to light the sometimes very difficult convoluted notion of emptiness.

Joseph describes the wisdom factor of mind that is Right View and the function this understanding serves in illuminating both the causes, and the means for cessation, of suffering. Our actions are often rooted in the unwholesome thoughts that stem from a false view of the Self. Acting in a manner that serves and enhances the right view of non-self is the underlying context for all of our practice. It is the beginning and the end of the path, to understand the truth of Dukkha and abandon all of its causes.
