Breathing in, I am aware of the pain, the stress, the anxiety deep inside.
Breathing out, I offer my kind awareness to soothe the suffering deep inside.

Week 6- Podcast

Dear Friends, the talk for week 6 - on Right Effort is now available on http://deerpark.libsyn.com/webpage/class-6-of-moment-by-moment-right-effort-w...

In this class we are offered a very inspiring and empowering teaching on Right Effort.  Right Effort is the first in the Concentration Triad of steps on the 8-fold path, the place where we are able and ready to collect our mind.  At this point in our training, our mind begins to calm down.  Right effort in Buddhist teaching is not hard labor.  It is appropriate attention or appropriate effort.  We will learn how to examine what we are being fed by others and what we are feeding ourselves.   We are offered a clear, basic definition of mindfulness and you will share in the creation of helpful new acronyms-- THNYA and THAA.  There is also a pop-quiz on the Prajana Dyad so be mindful!  Best of all, you will be given the best homework in the world history of teaching-- the requirement to be lazy.
