Mindfulness of 'feeling' is key to habit formation. How do we undo unskilful habits and create more skilful behaviours in our lives? This podcast continues our series of talks on The Four Foundations of Mindful Awareness.

A teaching that provides the foundation for Buddhist practice, as taught by the historical Buddha Gautuma.

In this talk we examine the fundamentals of mindfulness 

'Skilful Means' is a central plank of a bodhisattva's training. In this extract the Buddha makes this skill central to realisation and enlightenment.

The three temptations take place as the ascetic Gautama sits under the Bodhi Tree in his final attempt to see into the nature of reality and become free from suffering. Not to be confused with the notion of the 'devil', Māra is a deity from the Hindu pantheon who plays a dual role as tempter and tester for those who seek Nirvana.

The Diamond Sutra is part of the Great Heart of Wisdom cycle of scriptures. In this talk: karma, self and no-self; the bodhisattva path and nested selves.

What is wrong with desire anyway? Why did the Buddha link it to suffering? This talk investigates what the Buddha was talking about when he refers to it in the Four Noble Truths.
