Robert Thurman: "Buddhist Ethics" | Talks at Google
Published on Oct 30, 2015
Prof. Thurman discusses Buddhist ethics, which he translates as the ten-fold path of skillful and unskillful action. Instead of right and wrong, Professor Thurman urges us to consider ethical behavior as any action that helps us evolve on the path toward enlightenment. He provides a blue print for those seeking to bring spiritual values into the workplace and beyond.

This channel has been created to house video lectures for Sara Hart's World Religions course, offered as RS 105 at Humboldt State University, in beautiful Humboldt County, California. A couple tips for students: make sure that your device has good sound, as the volume can be lower than you'd like it to be. You can use headphones if you're watching the videos on a phone, or other small device. Also, I encourage you to use the comment function to communicate with one another, and with me, about the content of the videos. Enjoy!

Tara Brach's Resources

Tara Brach's Resources
Tara
Brach’s teachings blend Western psychology and Eastern spiritual practices,
mindful attention to our inner life, and a full, compassionate engagement with
our world. The result is a distinctive voice in Western Buddhism, one that
offers a wise and caring approach to freeing ourselves and society from
suffering.
As an
undergraduate at Clark University, Tara pursued a double major in psychology
and political science. During this time, while working as a grass roots
organizer for tenants’ rights, she also began attending yoga classes and
exploring Eastern approaches to inner transformation. After college, she lived
for ten years in an ashram—a spiritual community—where she practiced and taught
both yoga and concentrative meditation. When she left the ashram and attended
her first Buddhist Insight Meditation retreat, led by Joseph Goldstein, she
realized she was home. “I had found wisdom teachings and practices that train
the heart and mind in unconditional and loving presence,” she explains. “I knew
that this was a path of true freedom.”
Over the
following years, Tara earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the Fielding
Institute, with a dissertation exploring meditation as a therapeutic modality
in treating addiction. She went on to complete a five-year Buddhist teacher
training program at the Spirit Rock Meditation Center, under the guidance of
Jack Kornfield. Working as both a psychotherapist and a meditation teacher, she
found herself naturally blending these two powerful traditions—introducing
meditation to her therapy clients and sharing western psychological insights
with meditation students. This synthesis has evolved, in more recent years,
into Tara’s groundbreaking work in training psychotherapists to integrate
mindfulness strategies into their clinical work.
In 1998,
Tara founded the Insight Meditation Community of Washington, DC (IMCW), which
is now one of the largest and most dynamic non-residential meditation centers
in the United States. She gives presentations, teaches classes, offers
workshops, and leads silent meditation retreats at IMCW and at conferences and
retreat centers across North America. Her themes reveal the possibility of
emotional healing and spiritual awakening through mindful, loving awareness as
well as the alleviation of suffering in the larger world by practicing
compassion in action. She helped create the Washington Buddhist Peace
Fellowship and has fostered efforts to bring principles and practices of
mindfulness to issues of diversity, peace, and environmental sustainability, as
well as to prisons and schools. Recently, she co-founded the DC-based
Meditation Teacher Training Institute to help address the growing demand for
the teachings of mindfulness and compassion.
In addition
to numerous articles, videos, and hundreds of recorded talks, Tara is the author
of the book Radical Acceptance (2003) andTrue Refuge: Finding Peace &
Freedom in Your Own Awakened Heart (Bantam, 2013). She has a son, Narayan, and
lives in Great Falls, VA, with her husband, Jonathan Foust; their 2 dogs; and
her mother, Nancy Brach.
Awaken to the Buddha Within (1-9)

Awaken to the Buddha within
About the Talk
Over twenty-five hundred years ago a thoughtful, gentle prince became absorbed in the question of how to end suffering for all beings. He relinquished his life as a future great king to become a wandering seeker of the Way. After six years of searching, he sat down on a cushion of grass and vowed not to rise until he found the answer. Searching deep within himself, he realized the Way to liberation. This ordinary man had become “Buddha,” an awakened one.

Gautama Buddha, also known as Siddhārtha Gautama, Shakyamuni, or simply the Buddha, was a sage on whose teachings Buddhism was founded. He is believed to have lived and taught mostly in eastern India sometime between the sixth and fourth centuries BCE.
The word Buddha means "awakened one" or "the enlightened one". "Buddha" is also used as a title for the first awakened being in an era. In most Buddhist traditions, Siddhartha Gautama is regarded as the Supreme Buddha (Pali sammāsambuddha, Sanskrit samyaksaṃbuddha) of our age. Gautama taught a Middle Way between sensual indulgence and the severe asceticism found in the Sramana (renunciation) movement common in his region. He later taught throughout regions of eastern India such as Magadha and Kośala.
Gautama is the primary figure in Buddhism and accounts of his life, discourses, and monastic rules are believed by Buddhists to have been summarized after his death and memorized by his followers. Various collections of teachings attributed to him were passed down by oral tradition and first committed to writing about 400 years later.
Scholars are hesitant to make unqualified claims about the historical facts of the Buddha's life. Most accept that he lived, taught and founded a monastic order during the Mahajanapada era in India during the reign of Bimbisara, the ruler of the Magadha empire, and died during the early years of the reign of Ajatshatru who was the successor of Bimbisara, thus making him a younger contemporary of Mahavira, the Jain teacher.[7] Apart from the Vedic Brahmins, the Buddha's lifetime coincided with the flourishing of other influential sramana schools of thoughts like Ājīvika, Cārvāka, Jain, and Ajñana. It was also the age of influential thinkers like Mahāvīra, Pūraṇa Kassapa , Makkhali Gosāla, Ajita Kesakambalī, Pakudha Kaccāyana, and Sañjaya Belaṭṭhaputta, whose viewpoints the Buddha most certainly must have been acquainted with and influenced by.[8][9][note 7] Indeed, Sariputta and Maudgalyāyana, two of the foremost disciples of the Buddha, were formerly the foremost disciples of Sañjaya Belaṭṭhaputta, the skeptic. There is also evidence to suggest that the two masters, Alara Kalama and Udaka Ramaputta, were indeed historical figures and they most probably taught Buddha two different forms of meditative techniques. While the most general outline of "birth, maturity, renunciation, search, awakening and liberation, teaching, death" must be true, most scholars do not consistently accept all of the details contained in traditional biographies.
The times of Gautama's birth and death are uncertain. Most historians in the early 20th century dated his lifetime as circa 563 BCE to 483 BCE. More recently his death is dated later, between 411 and 400 BCE, while at a symposium on this question held in 1988, the majority of those who presented definite opinions gave dates within 20 years either side of 400 BCE for the Buddha's death. These alternative chronologies, however, have not yet been accepted by all historians.
The evidence of the early texts suggests that Siddhārtha Gautama was born into the Shakya clan, a community that was on the periphery, both geographically and culturally, of the northeastern Indian subcontinent in the 5th century BCE. It was either a small republic, in which case his father was an elected chieftain, or an oligarchy, in which case his father was an oligarch. According to the Buddhist tradition, Gautama was born in Lumbini, nowadays in modern-day Nepal, and raised in Kapilavastu (Shakya capital), which may either be in present day Tilaurakot, Nepal or Piprahwa, India.[note 1] He obtained his enlightenment in Bodh Gaya, gave his first sermon in Sarnath, and died in Kushinagara.
No written records about Gautama have been found from his lifetime or some centuries thereafter. One edict of Emperor Ashoka, who reigned from circa 269 BCE to 232 BCE, commemorates the Emperor's pilgrimage to the Buddha's birthplace in Lumbini. Another one of his edict mentions several Dhamma texts, establishing the existence of a written Buddhist tradition at least by the time of the Mauryan era and which may be the precursors of the Pāli Canon. The oldest surviving Buddhist manuscripts are the Gandhāran Buddhist texts, reported to have been found in or around Haḍḍa near Jalalabad in eastern Afghanistan and now preserved in the British Library. They are written in the Kharoṣṭhī script and the Gāndhārī language on twenty-seven birch bark scrolls, and they date from the first century BCE to the third century CE.
