What is said in the room does not need to stay in the room. These are lightly edited transcripts of live sessions — the voice and the ideas exactly as they were delivered, tidied only for reading.
The Buddha's map of meditation in one sitting. The two acrobats, what the meditator brings, the four foundations (body, feeling tone, mind and the nature of things), the two lenses of arising and passing, bare knowing, and the second arrow.
Not "life is suffering" — a wheel slightly out of true. The three kinds of wobble, the story behind Kisā Gotamī's mustard seed, why the problem is never attachment but taṇhā, the leper and the coals, and the cowherd's way of working with the mind on the cushion.
A map of how suffering arises, and how it ceases. An interactive study of the twelve nidānas — tap any link to open its meaning, how to recognise it in your own experience, and its Pali subcategories. Read downward for arising, upward for ceasing.
The ground the practice rests on, and how to tell whether you are meditating or merely reacting. Covers the Kalama Sutta, the two phases of concentration and insight, how a practice quietly becomes a belief, the five hindrances with their antidotes, and the only honest way to measure whether any of it is working.
Sessions are recorded and edited as time allows. Come to a class to hear them first.
