| 2015-10-11 On The Wings of the Breath 17:38 |
|
| Using the breath to move into the silent space in the heart and attentively following its rhythm, the breath becomes our whole world. We let go of all objects that arise, all thought, as we stay present and aware in the simple current of breathing. In these moments of pure presence, we are planting the priceless seeds of our awakening. |

|
| The Buddha exhorts us to look within ourselves to find the source of our suffering. A sure method to do this is by training our minds to quieten and be still. From this ungrasping calm, we can see the origin of our suffering and also of our joy. We bring peace to our hearts. So simple – and not so easy – but definitely doable. So we begin now. A talk given during a week long Satipaññā Insight Meditation Toronto retreat at Chapin Mill Retreat Centre, near Rochester, NY in 2015. |

|
| A commentary on the benefits of communal life – both monastic and lay – in keeping on the path to Nibbana. There is nothing else to do but practice with consideration and respect for ourselves and each other. Every moment in every life situation, we train the mind. We never give up inclining the mind towards the riches of the Path.. |

| 2014-08-10 Dhamma MRI – Mindful, Radical Investigation 33:59 |
|
| How can we work through mental habits that are deeply rooted? With patience, courage, and penetrating discernment we scan the heart and identify our suffering. At last, waves of compassion, loving-kindness, joy, and calm arise to bless and heal us internally and in any difficult relationships with others. And, in so doing, we grow our Dhamma wings. |

|
| 2014-07-19 Speaking of Violence 36:47 |
|
| If we can deal with the craziness of the mind, we can help to decrease the craziness and violence of the world. But we have to be so patient and keep faith with the process of of cleaning up our own violence. Even when the mind is hot, there will be some good will that we can touch – if we lean towards that which is kind and gentle – harmless – this can lead us towards fearlessness and acceptance. |

|
| 2014-06-07 The Bricks and Mortar of Forgiveness 11:29 |
|
| A short reflection on forgiveness – what we can do when we just can’t forgive. How do we deal with difficult past relationships when forgiveness seems impossible? Examining our expectations in relationship and our capacity to forgive when others have let us down – without judgment of anyone including ourselves – we start to open into compassion. Let’s give ourselves and others a second chance. |

|
| 2013-06-30 Sacred Heart: First Inside the Temple 32:40 |
|
| First talk given inside the new Sati Saraniya Temple building. Within us we have a sacred space that we need to reclaim – the very space inside the heart. Here the Four Noble Truths come to life. Know our suffering, not blaming anyone or any conditions for it, see its origin within us, and right here, resolve it, uproot it. Here then, we realize suffering’s end, time and again. And so in clearing the heart, we clear the Path. |
| Sati Saraniya Hermitage |
|
| 2012-11-22 Feast of Patience 17:25 |
|
| Can we not give vent to the wanting mind, not blame conditions nor allow discontentment to grow? Develop patience and persevere on the path. Know things as they are and accept them. Patience is the highest austerity. So change gears, and move away from old habits of mind by rubbing the dust out of your eyes. Weather difficult conditions. See the beginning of your suffering and end it in the ways of Dhamma. Plant good seeds. |

|
| Every Canadian knows Terry Fox, a teenage athlete who lost his leg to cancer, continued to train as a runner, and ran across Canada with one leg before he succumbed to his illness. His mission was to raise money for cancer research so others would not suffer. A legacy for our own journey – spiritual heroism, undaunted effort, magnanimous vision, valiant heart. The training begins now – for as along as it takes. |

| 2012-04-12 A Wilderness Traveller 39:18 |
|
| A dear friend, Malini Weerasooriya, was a worthy example to us of a daughter of the Buddha. Fearless, patient and joyous throughout her pains as she neared death, she embodied one who had found the way out of the wilderness of the mind driven by ill-will, greed and delusion. Spiritual community can also strengthen us to blaze a trail through that wilderness, to trust and persevere, with mindfulness, faith and wisdom. We are ready to make sacrifices or even suffer for the treasures of the Path. |

| 2012-04-07 Life-Saving Treasure 38:04 |
|
| A reflection on the Upaddha Sutta (Half of the Holy Life) about the importance of good friends, companions, and comrades on the Eightfold Noble Path. Good friends encourage and share in developing seclusion of mind, dispassion towards the sense pleasures of the world, and, ultimately, the cessation of suffering that leads to a lasting freedom and peace. |

| 2011-11-20 I Sit Here in Blessing 10:58 |
|
| How can we care for ourselves and each other, using our formal meditation practice as a template for daily living? As we sit for meditation, mark an intuitive pathway through painful, burdensome mind states, teaching the mind to purify itself with every breath. Gradually, we overcome our sufferings. We glimpse the peace, happiness, clarity and freedom of heart that are within our reach. |

|
| As we come to understand the wisdom of this Path, death becomes the least frightening thing in this world.The more we purify from within, the more we abide with a clarity of mind that bestows the ultimate seeing, our cosmic ordination, our unburdening from the sufferings of this realm. This will will be our Dhamma footprint. our noble warming.. |

| 2010-01-01 Let E-go 23:51 |
|
| Our Dhamma practice builds an inner refuge that we can truly trust and rely on – a steadying influence through life’s challenges to help us meet them with greater wisdom, patience, and forgiveness. In the monastic setting, a dual focus on Dhamma and Vinaya, the monastic code of discipline, further strengthen our ability to let go of ego within the seclusion and support of spiritual community. |
| Ottawa Buddhist Society |
|
| 2009-11-22 Baptism of Fire 17:47 |
|
| Sometimes it takes an illness or a loss to wake up. The wheel of Dhamma turns us towards the centre point, where all the mind’s movements are stilled so that we can see the truth of suffering. Fear arises but we can observe it ceasing in the light of our inner spiritual work. Gently, patient and aware, with selflessness and noble intent, we persevere. |

| 2009-06-19 Opinions 33:20 |

| Are you watching your breath or watching your opinions? It is not enough to just watch the breath; you must reflect closely on what is arising. Come to the truth of the way things are by identifying and letting go of your opinions. |

|
| 2009-04-04 Batik Buddha 38:54 |
|
| Ayya Medhanandi reflects on the meaning of the different mudras or hand gestures used by the Buddha himself when he gave teachings. Each represents an important quality for us to practise and develop such as fearlessness or compassion.

| 2008-11-03 Shoot Me First: Right Intention, Effort & Social Responsibility 1:17:35 |
|
| As we follow the steps of the Eightfold Noble Path, our hatred, greed, and delusion abate. We may yet suffer, but we use our suffering to fathom the meaning of it, see its causes, and see the possibility for ending suffering. The four Noble Truths come alive within. Invariably, our suffering manifests in many forms. It may never ‘end’ but it ceases to be a problem as our fear or aversion to it die. Persevering in this work is the way to make peace with our suffering. |
