This is a recording of the meditation from our Thursday Morning Meditation on October 15th, 2026. We meditate with the breath for a few minutes, before opening our awareness to recognize how the mind responds to other experiences.

It’s hard to write a paragraph or two about Thich Nhat Hanh, or Thay as his students call him. A Vietnamese monk, Thay trained in Thien (Vietnamese Zen), studied Buddhist philosophy including Yogacara and Abhidharma, and trained in many early Buddhist texts in both Pali and the Chinese Agamas. Additionally, he has many teachings that are uniquely him.

A poet, activist, teacher, and guiding teacher to countless around the world, Thich Nhat Hanh lived for many years in exile from his home nation. His teachings are firmly rooted in both Thien Buddhism and Yogacara philosphy. I cannot think of a teacher who has more deeply impacted my practice (and my family’s) in daily life.

This is a recording of the meditation from the Thursday Morning Meditation group on October 8th, 2025.

This week we are discussing equanimity. Equanimity is the fourth of the brahma-viharas, one of the Seven Factors of Awakening, and one of the Ten Perfections. It is the quality of mental stability and spaciousness, allowing experience to arise and pass without being knocked off balance.
