The Teachings of Zen Master Dogen - Moon in a Dewdrop

The Teachings of Zen Master Dogen - Moon in a Dewdrop
Dogen (1200-1253 C.E.) founded the Soto school of Zen Buddhism in Japan. His teachings are the very embodiment of the paradoxical blend of mystery and clarity that characterizes Zen. Dogen's approach to meditation has become perhaps the most influential Eastern spiritual practice in the Western world. The selections in this program are from Moon in a Dewdrop, and were chosen by Gary Snyder.

Compassion in Action - Ram Dass

Compassion in Action: Setting Out on the Path of Service - Ram Dass

The freewheeling author of the pop spiritual classic Be Here Now teams with fellow Hindu devotee Bush to guide inexperienced Americans on to the path of compassionate action--offering his own spiritual autobiography as testimony to the transforming power of love and social action. Ram Dass, n‚ Richard Alpert, treats his famous psychedelic experience with Timothy Leary at Harvard in the early 60's as a spiritual turning point, granting him beautiful if ephemeral visions of unity with the cosmos. The real emotional possibilities behind those visions opened up to him, he says, when he found Neem Karoli Baba, his beloved Hindu spiritual teacher, who instructed him to tell the truth and always love everyone. It apparently took Ram Dass (so named by the guru after a monkey god that is an archetypal servant of man) several decades of spiritual work on himself while exploring different forms of volunteerism to glimpse how it is possible to fuse the quest for a truly liberated awareness with compassionate work for others: ``The only thing about being with people that `brings me down,' that keeps me from resting in spacious awareness, that deflates that state of joyful equanimity, is my own mind....'' Finally, through his experience as a fund-raiser and chairperson for the Seva Foundation, Ram Dass, along with Bush, has come to isolate simple steps--presented here, and including doing what you love and starting small--that others can follow to come to their own path of service. Occasionally repetitive and simplistic but nonetheless a warmhearted and genuinely inspiring introduction to compassion as a way of life.

Meditating With the Body: Six Tibetan Buddhist Meditations - Reginald Ray

Meditating With the Body: Six Tibetan Buddhist Meditations for Touching Enlightenment With the Body
In Tibetan spiritual life, body-based meditation is considered vital to our spiritual and physical well-being. In today’s world, overabundant with stimuli and stress, Reggie Ray teaches, body-based meditation provides a powerful way for us to "digest" the events and experiences of our day. It allows us to open our awareness and deepen our sense of being so that our minds become clearer, our emotions more flowing, and our lives more grounded. On Meditating with the Body, listeners will learn to master a series of six Tibetan-based meditations to settle and calm the mind, channel vitalizing energy throughout the body, connect with the living, healing quality of the earth, and uncover the body’s untapped powers of perception, intuition, and wisdom.

Reginald Ray is the author of Indestructible Truth and Secret of the Vajra World. He is an acharya (senior teacher) in residence at the Shambhala Mountain Center and professor of Buddhist studies at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado.
