3. His teaching method to share Dhamma with others

With Metta,
Ven. Dhamma Gavesi  

You are cordially invited to join us now on the Rose Apple Mind Channel for Talk #4
 " An Informative Dependent Origination Workshop". https://youtu.be/mY37TQwrtuk


Talk # 4 Covers Dependent Origination workshop which was done few years ago. This talk about 1 Hour long. 


This talk is a phenomenological examination of Dependent Origination so that you can examine one event  like how anger  arises in daily life.  Once you understand this you also understand how any arising disturbing emotion operates and how you can change it in daily life.


In MN 28:28 and repeated in many other places, “He who sees the Dhamma, sees Dependent Origination; He who sees Dependent Origination, sees the Dhamma.”

TALK #2 is launched!
You are cordially invited to join me now on the Rose Apple Mind Channel for Talk #2
   " Managing the Hindrances".

This first group of talks were recorded in Sri Lanka in 2012.  Will appear before the new talks come in. I want to thank Ven. Mettavihari for helping me to get started with these short videos. And I thank Ven. Kusula for helping me to make this connection. You have to start somewhere, eh?
 
Talk #2 covers wholesome and unwholesome mind-states and managing Hindrances by following the Buddha's advice.  If we will abandon our attention from them, let them go, relax, smile, and come back to gently stay with your object of meditation, then our entire practice will get clearer. If we leave those steps out, progress will not be the same. I encourage you to test this in your own practice.
This talk advises us how to stay firmly with our object of meditation and not be disturbed by anything that arises. The Buddha taught his son Rahula to remember something found in MN-62, Maharaulovada Sutta that will remind us not to  be distracted to leave your internal observation.
There is also a description of Equanimity arising during a life threatening situation driving a truck. It can be a surprisingly strange experience. Please join me.
