A Relational Dhamma

With Gregory Kramer recorded on October 17, 2021.

Found our teachings useful? Help us continue our work and support your teachers with a donation. Here’s how.

If humans are intrinsically relational creatures, how do we integrate this understanding with the Buddha’s teachings on suffering and its cessation? Relational suffering and craving? Dependent origination?

In this session, we explore the power and necessity of a relational understanding of the Buddha’s teachings. We discuss and practice relational aspects of the path, including the relational Vipassana practice of Insight Dialogue, and living a Dhamma-infused life of relatedness, through friendship and community.

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Gail Aylward – Week of 09 March, 2026

    This week’s theme is: Kindness Begins Within

    This week, we will explore kindness as a gentle strength of body, heart and mind where we can learn to meet our thoughts and feelings, meet ourselves and others with warmth rather than judgment. As this inner kindness deepens, it naturally flows outward, shaping how we speak, listen, and move through the world.

    Our Dharma Library thrives through collective generosity. Your donation helps sustain this offering for our entire community.
