Dharma on Demand | Ep15. Thanksgiving Blessings
On this Thanksgiving day, we reflect on our blessings and happiness using the Mangala Sutta (Sutra on Happiness). We reflect on what exactly is happiness and what should count as blessings. On this episode we recognize that blessings aren't the things that happen to us, but on the things that we do to create those blessings.

Dharma on Demand | Ep12. The Eightfold Path: Right Mindfulness
Right Mindfulness (Samyak Smriti/Sati) is at the heart of the Buddha's teachings. The Buddha says that the Dharma, the ultimate truth or things, is directly visible, timeless, calling out to be approached and seen. The ultimate truth, the Dharma, is not something mysterious and remote, but the truth of our own experience. It can be reached by understanding our experience, by penetrating it right through to its foundations. This truth, in order to become liberating truth, has to be known directly.

Guided Meditation | Identifying Self-Judgement and Bringing in Self-Compassion
Self-judgment and self-criticism can be very engrained thought patterns, so much so that we don’t fully realize they are present.
Many of us have a lot of conditioning that negatively impacts the thoughts we hold about ourselves. And many of us are just starting to recognize the ways in which we talk to ourselves or how often we treat ourselves with unkindness.
Much like improving our physical health, it’s important to first be aware of the ways in which we are suffering as a result of self-judgment.
It’s also important to not start judging ourselves for judging ourselves. We have been doing our best, and self-compassion is a skill that must be practiced like any other skill.
This meditation is to support us in identifying our self-judgment and then bringing self- compassion to meet it.

Ask a Monk | Buddhism's views on LGBTQ+
On this quick episode, I answer the question "What is Buddhism's views on LGBTQ+?"
It's in my experience that I know some LGBTQ+ people have hesitated to attend Buddhist services. sanghas, or groups because of fear of discrimination or denial. But, it's important to know that the Buddha welcomed ALL people into his community and sangha, and it's only in modern society where distinctions and separations are being made.
