In this seasonal Dhamma talk, Practicing with Ghosts, we explore how Halloween and traditions surrounding the dead invite us to reflect on mortality, grief, and the preciousness of life. Through Buddhist stories and the Five Recollections, we consider how remembering that life is uncertain can deepen our gratitude for the present and help us live with greater awareness and care.
Prompt: What's something you loved, feared, or were convinced was real as a child that you see differently now?

Loneliness and Spiritual Community: Talk
This week, Andrew explores the experience of loneliness through the lens of Buddhist teachings on suffering, not-self, and spiritual friendship. Drawing on the Buddha's teachings, contemporary research, and personal reflections, he examines how craving, aversion, and the stories we tell ourselves can deepen feelings of disconnection. He also reflects on the importance of meaningful relationships and community in supporting our well-being and spiritual growth, reminding us that belonging isn't simply something we find, but something we help create for one another.
Prompt: What are some moments in your life, past or present, when you've felt lonely?
