Inspiration Without & Inspiration Within with Claire Villarreal

Harvey Aronson shares with us how the desire to reach for one's smartphone can be transformed into a frequent and deep spiritual practice using the acronym "WISER" and a quote from Rinpoche "freedom is bondage and bondage is freedom."

Smartphones and Spiritual Practice

This episode, recorded on Superbowl Sunday in close physical proximity to the Superbowl, Harvey Aronson focuses on "super centering" using the acronym F.A.C.T.; Freshness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Tenderness.

A Kind Heart with Lama Tenzin Samphel

Learn how we can show generosity to ourselves and others by being more in touch with our experiences and sharing our authentic selves. This teaching is led by Harvey Aronson with some comments from Anne at the end. 

Emotional and Spiritual Generosity

We spend considerable time and energy thinking about what we like and dislike, what we want and don't want. These thoughts can be agitating, and ultimately do not support our being to the full depth of grace. Anne frames this topic of conversation that Harvey fleshes out on the Buddhist sutra of relaxation of thoughts

The Relaxation of Thoughts

What does it mean to be inspired? Harvey Aronson invites us to examine how inspiration feels in our body, and members of the sangha share their experiences. In honor of Saga Dawa, Harvey also shares with us three inspiring acts of the Buddha.

Inspiration in the Month of Saga Dawa

Every living being is naturally luminous, and yet that luminosity is obscured by a dim unknowing. Anne C. Klein/ Lama Rigzin Drolma shares the power of good intention to optimize the process of un-obscuring our luminosity, and Shantideva's three offerings to sustain those good intentions.
