The dharma talk, "Patience & Compassion," was given at a Downtown Meditation Community residential retreat in January 2009. In the talk, Peter Doobinin describes how we cultivate these essential qualities, in the service of deepening our practice and knowing a greater happiness in life. As Peter explains, quoting Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the dharma student must learn to develop a "tough mind and a tender heart."
May all beings live with patience and compassion.

The dharma talk was given at a Downtown Meditation Community retreat in July 2015. In the talk, Peter Doobinin describes how we practice "Heedfulness of Thinking." When we're heedful of our thinking, in meditation and in our lives, we're able to abandon unskillful thinking: thinking that leads to suffering; and we're able to cultivate skillful thinking: thinking that leads to true happiness. As Peter explains, this is a skill that all dharma students can all learn.
