Sensing with Soul (Part 1) - (The Mirrored Gates) 11 mentions

• um and you'll know that the classical buddha dharma counts the mind uh whether it's thinking or imagining or
• um i think it was in the talk image mythos dharma in the first part of that talk
• of um teachings of bear attention that used to be quite common in the dharma world at least
• um so and then within buddha dharma you can also see how that word means really
• um and it's fine you know according to buddha dharma if there's a certain level of mindfulness just a basic level of
• mindfulness that's focused through some or other lens of a dharma concept so for example
• um sense contact looked at through the the dharma lens of the um sixth sense spheres
• words focus narrowly according to this dharma lens there's a second way and and that has the effect the skill in that is
• so even the idea of bear attention as a sort of dharma concept becomes a dharma lens
• of life is actually embedded in buddha dharma and the centrality of the four noble truths which concern themselves

Opening the Sense of the Energy Body - (Four Circles, Four Parables of Stone and Light) 11 mentions

• um sensing the soul to imaginal practice and the whole soulmaking dharma um but for some people some of them
• not an experience that they're used to many dharma practitioners as well it says for some people that will be one
• um so you can see for example sometimes a person has been practicing dharma for 30 years but they've never really
• um is that also the kind of dharma that one might gravitate towards
• determine to some extent will contribute to determining what kind of dharma one gravitates towards
• and and so that one is less drawn to a dharma for instance like soulmaking dharma that tends to talk uh in
• dharma for instance like soulmaking dharma that tends to talk uh in religious terms and soul terms and
• and that's not to say uh that any one dharma direction is better or worse um uh so we really don't just that's
• just a completely irrelevant thing to to try and measure soulmaking dharma better than this dharma or mahasi or
• try and measure soulmaking dharma better than this dharma or mahasi or just it's just not interested but there

Pain, as Void and as Sacrament - (In Psyche's Orchard) 11 mentions

• about directing matter to phenomena to dharmas um
• oftentimes our understanding of buddha dharma is that vedana is just a given it's just what it is this is what we're
• i think it's in that talk um two-part talk approaching the dharma i think it's called other other places
• uh dharma practice in the sort of uh any dharma practice
• dharma practice in the sort of uh any dharma practice should
• or could then or whatever it is any dharma practice should bring about a reduction of pain
• or if one is or if one can't help including any attention for any dharma practice should bring a reduction in
• pain to some degree why because any dharma practice all dharma practices even practices like meta or whatever are
• get fabricated less any dharma practice should bring a reduction in pain right now not because
• so all this of course is related uh in dharma what i said about that uh to what i said about that that middle middle
• what's important um in our dharma practice because you have to decide that what's important for

• that's actually something realistic that's like so again dharma scenes are tend to be one way or another insight
• so sometimes that's my tendency in the dharma setting is actually to rush through to be impatient
• or readings or you're listening to a dharma talk on cd or tape or whatever and we hear something we hear the
