2015-10-14 Transcending Anger: The Metta Response to Injustice 1:15:05
Anger disguises itself as raw energy and gives us a false sense of power and control, keeps us from facing the real root of our suffering, and destroys. Metta is the raw energy of anger cooled down and transmuted into love. Metta heals, guides right action and moves the world.

2015-03-11 The Cool Place 1:24:36
The Buddha's solution to suffering does not involve driving away desire or pushing it underground. The strategy that frees us is right understanding - seeing things clearly as they are - and right intention - shifting our perspective from war to loving kindness. Our untrained minds are conditioned to go right from feeling to craving, stimulus to response. But the wise investigate all phenomena with clear seeing and so learn to bear with whatever arises without need for struggle. This is our practice.

2014-05-06 Wise and Unwise Effort 62:01
The Buddha taught the four great endeavors in the application of wise effort. What we learn is that unwise effort uses the "white knuckle" approach to gain insight and ignores feedback, while wise effort uses wisdom to do the heavy lifting.
