13_Track_13.mp3RIGHT ACTION2073 viewsFirm in our purpose we have act,
Our feet in Wisdom’s Way;
Nor shall the transient things of earth,
Our resolution sway.
We spurn the lure of fame or gold,
The lust for things of sense;
And find purity and peace,
Our ample recompense.
Unselfish love to all that live,
Our lives shall manifest;
In thought, in word, in action show,
Its inspiration blest.
Though steep and toilsome be the path,
We shall but strive the more;
Nirvana’s holy realm to gain,
And peace forevermore.

26_Track_26.mp3SONG OF THE PILGRIM1974 viewsNo sentient life in all the worlds,
Will ever cease to be,
Unending all as Thou and I,
Though forms change constantly,
Then life imprisoned in the earth,
May bloom as lovely flower,
So all evolve a fairer birth,
CHORUS:
Remembering always “Buddha Thou artâ€
The path will lighter grow,
The Buddha seed within our heart,
Will guide to those who know.
On through the endless eons of time,
Through forms from stone to man,
All beings to perfection climb,
Such is the faultless plan.
Perfected man the masters are,
And we shall also climb,
To starry heights in worlds afar,
And know the Truth sublime.

File04_(AM)_Contemplating_elements.mp3Contemplating the Elements1729 viewsPatrick Kearney's Vipassana Retreat Talk at Bodhi Tree Monastery (2009)
The foundation of satipatthana (establishing mindfulness) is the tracking (anupassana), or contemplation, of our experience of body. As we remain present to physical experience over time, we learn to drop beneath our concepts of body to its direct, sensual impact. What we normally take to be “my body†becomes, as we go deeper, different manifestations of the four elements of earth, air, fire and water.
