What is the Ultimate Truth?

With Christopher Titmuss recorded on June 5, 2022.

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

The world of mind-body, mindfulness, meditation and well-being maximises priority on conventional or relative truth. This requires wise attention and change relative to our experience.

We are familiar with taking up views, remaining neutral with views or holding onto views. We might call these views relative or absolute.

Can we discover (ultimate) truth not bound to perception, not bound to mystery, not bound in any way at all?

This question lies at the heart of the deepest exploration.

    Exploring Karma, Choice and the Mind

    Recorded : June 30, 2024

    Karma is action in Buddhism, driven by intention. With practice we cultivate the ability to choose our response and our actions, internally and externally. We might think if our intentions are good our actions will follow, but our intentions are often under the influence of strong conditioning that prevents us from living our choices. But…

    Receptivity: Deep Listening as an Antidote to Reactivity and Violence

    Recorded : October 14, 2018

    In these hyped up divisive times, there is an ever-greater need for tools to de-condition ourselves from reactivity. The practice of listening – within ourselves and with others – is much more significant than we often acknowledge. The contrast of receptivity against the backdrop of a world conditioned to impose, label, judge, and solve, is…

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Miles Kessler – Week of 15 June, 2026

    This week’s theme is: The Seven Factors Of Awakening . In this week of daily meditations, you will explore the Buddha’s foundational teaching on the “Seven Factors of Awakening” (bojjhaṅga): mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity. Together we will examine how these qualities arise in meditation practice, are gradually cultivated, and are the very factors that support awakening. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how the path of practice unfolds, and you will gain practical tools for cultivating greater balance, clarity, and insight. “For one who is mindful, investigating phenomena, energy arises. For one who is energetic, joy arises…” – Samyutta Nikaya. Our Dharma Library thrives through collective generosity. Your donation helps sustain this offering for our entire community.

This session is an experiential exploration of the interplay of light…
