A binaural soundscape featuring several Swainson's Thrushes singing in Subalpine Fir near Baldy Mountain to the east of Oliver in the Okanagon Valley of British Columbia.  Recorded 7:20am, 28 June 2017.

This beautiful soundscape also includes the rush of a mountain brook (left channel)and the gentle gurgling of a nearby freshet (right channel). Listen also for what I believe to be six nasal calls from a young mule deer (fawn), sounding off in the distance at 6:50 as it moved through the forest.

In this podcast episode, Michael explores the ethic of not stealing (asteya). Dogen, a wonderful Zen master, translates it this way: “The self and things of the world are just as they are. The gate of freedom is open.” This ethic is about being satisfied with what I have. Another way you could translate this is: not taking what’s not given freely. 

Recorded in 2011.

Being Satisfied (Asteya)

In this podcast episode, Michael discusses the relationship between awareness and morality or mindfulness and ethics. When we are faced with the unprecedented and unrepeatable complexities of this moment, the question is not, “What is the right thing to do?” but “What is the compassionate thing to do?” This question can be approached with integrity but not with certainty. 

Recorded in 2011.
