Equanimity (Upekkha)
Hi friends,This is the first talk in a series I’m offering on the Limitless Attitudes (Pali: Appamāṇa), which are also called the Divine Abodes (Pali: Brahmavihāra). I am working my way backward through the Limitless Attitudes, starting with equanimity, which is often taught last and is the subject of this talk. This was recorded at Downtown Dharma on April 12th. I hope you find it beneficial. Upcoming Offerings:I’ll be back at Downtown Dharma on June 14th, and will be teaching a few classes at River Road Unitarian in May, June and July, though the dates have not yet been finalized. I will post a complete schedule soon, with those details and, hopefully, details on next year’s spring retreat.

Right Speech (Sammā-vācā)
Hi everyone,This is a talk on Right Speech and its place in the Eightfold Path that I gave at Downtown Dharma on January 4th, 2026. The recording also includes the Q&A that followed the talk. Also, I learned last night that the audio posts I have been sending out are also podcasts, published to Apple Podcasts and Spotify and elsewhere. In order to make it easier to find them across the web, I gave the podcast a title. It’s called “Dharma &” beacuse it is about the Buddha’s teachings, which are often called the Dharma, as well as other related topics like therapy and mental health and my struggles getting small children into the bathtub. I hope you find it helpful.Upcoming Offerings:January 7th, 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM: Drop in class at River Road Unitarian Church, 6301 River Rd, Bethesda, MD 20817.March 12th - March 15th: Residential retreat in the Insight Meditation tradition.

I hope you find it beneficial!Upcoming Events3-Day Meditation Retreat in the foothills of the Shenandoah MountainsA meditation retreat is a chance to learn how your mind works, experience the peace that comes from collected mental energy, and to open your heart. If that is of interest to you, consider joining me and my co-teacher Dechen Ellen McSweeney for a 3-day medtiation retreat March 12-15 in the Insight Tradition. It’s a rare opportunity to step out of the rhythms of daily life and see what happens to a mind that is allowed to settle.
