2017-01-24 Becoming Mindful of the Mind (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 64:37
Tempel Smith
After we begin to establish mindfulness of the breath and body, the next place to develop our practice is mind objects and the mind itself. Mind objects are the stream of thoughts and inner dialogue and for the mind we can observe emotions and mental states.

2017-01-23 Beginning Meditation Instruction (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 66:09
Tempel Smith
On the first morning of retreat we guide our bodies to be still and relaxed as a base for the mind to settle. We can use sounds, body sensations and the breath to gather our attention and start the training not to be lost in thought.

2017-01-18 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Buddhist Practice, and the Needs of Our Times 2: What Does A Life of Integrity Mean in Our Times? 65:06
Donald Rothberg
We review the deep intention of both Buddhist practice and the life and work of Dr. King to bring wisdom, love, and skillful action to all parts and all moments of our lives. We then look at how this results in a life of integrity, of wholeness, in terms of the Noble Eightfold Path, on the one hand, and the extension of the "love ethic" to the social and political dimensions of life by Dr. King, on the other. We look at the challenges of Dr. King's stance on Vietnam, and listen to an excerpt from his "Beyond Vietnam" speech at the Riverside Church in New York on April 4, 1967.
