• The Evolving of Generosity

  In this week's talk, we explore the heart practice of generosity—a teaching at the very center of the Buddhist path and a medicine so deeply needed in our world.  Together, we reflect on the two patterns that shape our lives: the tightening of grasping—the sense of not enough—and the natural ease that arises when we open our hearts and offer our care. When we become more mindful of giving, even in small and spontaneous ways, we reconnect with our innate goodness and with the love that flows through all of life. And, as we let go of the habits that create separation and reflect on the goodness within and around us, we discover the joy of a generous heart.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

• Meditation: Inner Space - Gateway to Open Awareness (20:08)

  This meditation is adapted from a meditation called "Open Focus." Let whatever comes spontaneously to your awareness to be there as you follow along with the questions, which begin with, "Can you imagine…?" (adapted from Open Focus Meditations led by Les Fehmi, Ph.D.)   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

• Awakening Compassion in a Fearful World: The Practice of Tonglen

  As anxiety, division, and digital distance numb our hearts, we risk losing our ability to truly feel the lives of others. In this talk, we'll explore how compassion arises when another becomes real to us — when we can imagine their inner world and sense our shared belonging. Through reflections, stories, and the Tibetan practice of tonglen, we'll learn how to transform suffering into care, and re-open the relational pathways that let us act from love.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

• Meditation: Collecting, Unifying and Opening the Mind (21:56 min.)

  Collecting, unifying and opening the mind, we begin with a listening attention, noticing sounds that are here. Relaxing open and letting sounds wash through. With the same receptivity to sounds, listen to and feel the aliveness of the body. Listening to the breath as if you're listening to the voice of a quiet loved one – really close in, tender attention – and including the background sounds. Not pushing away anything – a very open and relaxed, receptive attention.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music
