Understanding and developing Citta (heart-mind).
All schools of Buddhism acknowledge that the development of Citta is an essential aspect of the awakening process. Within classical Mindfulness teachings, it encompasses the entirely of the third foundation of practice. At its core, it encourages use to recognize the presence and absence of greed, hatred and delusion. In its fruition it points to embodying a mind and heart of wisdom, kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity. During this teaching session Dave will outline the basic nuts and bolts of how this can be understood and developed, both on and off the cushion.

December 23, 2017 desire vs. craving
Pulled from the archive, Against the Stream Nashville circa 2014. This talk points to the difference between desire and craving. Craving not being an expression of desire, but rather a repression of our own desire to be free, to be at ease, to be truly happy.
