Today is a bit of an unplanned talk about taking control over what we can. Specifically, we talk about the seeds of karma and what we choose to plant.

Following up on the talk from last week, today we have a guided walking meditation practice. We’ll look at the experience in the body, then open up to feeling tone and mental states while walking.

Today’s talk was inspired by another podcast I listen to, The Way Out is In. We discuss the concept of interdependence and anatta in Buddhism, looking at the five aggregates, the twelve links, and our heart practices and connections with others.

This is a talk given in response to several questions I have received recently about starting and building a meditation practice. Where do we start? What do we do? And how do we keep at it? I cover a few suggestions of mine that hopefully will support you in beginning your practice!

Today’s meditation is a practice adapted from Mahasi Sayadaw’s Manual of Insight. It is the way in which I practice, and wanted to offer to the community.

We continue our investigation of the Foundations of Mindfulness today with the Fourth Foundation of Mindfulness – Mindfulness of the Dhammas.
