Dharma Talks

A Dharma talk is a public discourse on Buddhism by a teacher or practice leader. 

It is said that a Dharma talk can be “dark to the mind but luminous to the heart.” We suggest listening not just with your ears, but with your whole body.

A Dharma talk may also be referred to as a Teisho (提唱). A Teisho is non-dualistic, and therefore different than a lecture on a Buddhist topic. A Teisho is a Dharma talk that speaks directly to the heart.

    Just What is Anger?

    Cindy Shoshin Bonney shares reflections on the experience of anger and ways to work with it skillfully. Like a hot coal, anger can feel really intense, though it also can take many forms. Irritation. Frustration. Righteousness at a perceived injustice. It can also be a good teacher, and a catalyst for loving action.
