Ep 840How to Feel Safe, Secure, Satisfied and Successful through Anapanasati Practice | Justin #3 | 8.2.21

Justin and Dhammarato discuss the differences in meditative approaches practiced by the Buddhists and the Westerners. Justin shares that by adhering to the method of Anapanasati, he can see tangible results in his everyday lifestyle and ways of thinking. Dhammarato revisits the issue of safety and security as a starting point for developing satisfaction and, later, success in life. He gives a more accurate definition of "enlightenment" as an easily available yet not permanent state of mind. He then focuses on sustaining it through an everyday practice by using Sati, or "remembering to catch yourself" and Nurturing yourself back into it by gladdening the mind with wholesome thoughts.

Ep 837Turning Jungle into Paradise, Nurturing vs. Critical Thinking | Christopher #2, Rodrigo | 8.13.21

Dhammarato dissects the mind jungle and ways of organizing it through Anapanasati. He breaks down the process of getting into good state of mind by waking up, noticing an unwholesome thought, Nurturing yourself into feeling good by placing a wholesome thought, and remembering to do it over and over again. He compares this practice to the practice of choiceless awareness and the Mahasi method of noting. He gives a precise definition Metta and takes another look at the Boddhisattva ideal. With a touch of humor, he shares what is usually done in the Buddhist circles around conversations about past lives and dream interpretation.

Ep 834Biology of Thoughts and Buddhist Concepts in Western Mentality | Justin #1 | 7.16.21

Dhammarato connects biology of the human mind with the way we act in this world. He identifies the difference between our critical and Nurturing thoughts, our habits to talk ourselves into feeling bad, and our ability to wake up and gladden the mind by talking ourselves into feeling good. Using real-life practical examples, he defines real powers and magical powers; tangible pain and rising above it; Samadhi and concentration.

Ep 831Suññatā: There’s Not Much to It… | Zach #2 | 7.25.21

In this conversation, Dhammarato explains the concept of reality as Sunyata (Nothing much to it) by juxtaposing it to the concept of Void (Complete nothingness). He mentions the only four requisites that we need from the conceptualized/conventional/subjective world: enough food, enough shelter, enough clothes, and enough medical attention. In that arises a new consciousness, the one in pure present.

Ep 830Practical Value of Anapanasati and Wholesome Thoughts | Gurvinder #2 | 8.15.21

Dhammarato outlines the only teaching of the Buddha that is set in noticing the Dukkha and getting rid of it immediately, and contra distinguishes it with the western mindset of meditating on just simply noticing the Dukkha without doing anything about it. He playfully compares it with 'taking a bath versus swimming in the sewer'. He helps Gurvinder conclude that even thoughts that don't contain ill-will, greed or delusion are unwholesome.

Ep 829Gathering the Factors | Tyler #3 | 7.26.21

Dhammarato shares the teaching of the Buddha, offering a little change in the conventional practice of the 8 Fold Noble Path. He suggests to start with Purification of the mind (Samadhi) while seeing the reality of the situation (Panna) without requiring seclusion (Sila) first. He also gives a useful working definition of "reaction" as an acquired habitual relationship of the human to the world akin to that of the relationship between the monkey and the coconut tree.
