Dear friends,
Today we share a talk by Brother Phap Hai. He shares insights on our culture of consumerism and discusses how it applies to our practice. Over our time as a practitioner, we may have accumulated some layers of practice. Our brother encourages us to let go of these layers, these formalities and return to the essence of our practice.
Now, enjoy this moment to stop and look deeply.
(If you prefer the full 1-hr talk, it is available here.)

Dear friends,
Today we continue Brother Phap Hai's talk from Deer Park Monastery. He introduces The Eight Verses of Mind Training to help us practice and transform. Over the course of the next few months, our brother will offer all the eight verses for us. Today, the first verse: "May I always cherish all sentient beings and consider that compared to a wish-fulfilling jewel, they are far superior for liberating my heart."
Now, enjoy this moment to stop and look deeply.

Welcome to the Deer Park Dharmacast. Dharma flowing from the Ocean of Peace.
Today we share a talk by Brother Phap Hai, shortly after his return to Deer Park from Europe. Our brother reminds us of the the meaning of the word: gratitude. To feel gratitude is to know what has been done for us. May we look back and look inside to remember. Now, enjoy this moment to stop and look deeply.
(The full 1-hour talk is also available here.)

Dear friends,
Welcome to the Deer Park Dharmacast. Dharma flowing from the Ocean of Peace.
Today we continue to share a talk given by Sister Man Nghiem at the recent Wake Up retreat. Our sister reflects on the idea of building our true home and asks us what we have chosen to build that home out of. Knowing to nourish ourselves with the Four Nutriments, we can build a solid home to withstand huffing and puffing from anyone and anything outside. To hear more about the Wake Up movement, go to wkup.org.
Now, enjoy this moment to stop and look deeply.
