The House of Inner Tranquillity Podcast

The House of Inner Tranquillity is a Buddhist Insight meditation centre located in south-west England. The centre was established in 1980 for those in search of a practical approach to the Buddha"s teaching. Stripped of ritual and cultural accretions, the path is presented in a manner ideally suited to the needs of the modern westerner. Today, just as in the times of the Buddha, someone committed to truth can travel right to the end of the path and realise the goal of enlightenment. Countless

S4 Ep18: "Clear Comprehension" by Paul Harris

The House of Inner Tranquillity Podcast ·

2020/12/18

In addition to mindfulness we need clear comprehension which gives us the true context for whatever we experience. Examples, such as the desire for world peace and the pursuit of concentrated states are given to demonstrate how the presence or absence of clear comprehension affects our practice. In discussing what aids development, Paul stresses the role of the teacher. The talk ends with the analogy of the sun behind clouds to help clarify that enlightenment is not a future goal. Paul

2020/12/11

It's important to distinguish the cultural trappings of Buddhism from the inner teaching - specifically, the 4 noble truths. Suffering is covered in detail (sub-divided into: intrinsic, due to change, due to formations; hidden, revealed). Suffering falls away when it is looked at and accepted - but we all tend to avoid doing this, thereby perpetuating our suffering. Jacqui James was a Buddhist Insight meditation teacher and the co-founder of the House of Inner Tranquillity. Jacqui passed away in

2020/12/04

We often speak in terms of perfection: the perfect relationship, car or boss, for example. Perfection in this sense is an unattainable myth. Perfection, as a qualitative rather than a quantitative term, can be applied to the meditation, first looking at perfect sila as freedom from craving and hatred in the moment, then covering the other sections of the 8-fold Path. Alan James founded the House of Inner Tranquillity, along with his wife Jacqui James in 1980. He continued to teach the way to

S4 Ep15: "Ordinary Minds" by Paul Harris

2020/11/27

Some people claim that you are already enlightened and simply have to realise it. In this talk, Paul suggests this presumes that unenlightened people have ordinary minds. Only enlightened people, he maintains, have ordinary minds. The rest have extraordinary minds, as they are warped and corrupted by ignorance, craving and hatred. The ignorant mind takes it entirely for granted, seeing it as ordinary and is caught perpetually looking elsewhere for meaning in life. The Buddha's training wakes us

The training rejects all speculations. It is rare to be born human. Life after death and emotional responses are reviewed. First noble truth:- attachment to Earth life is the problem. Second noble truth:- yearning to belong, but there is no peace where there is craving and hatred. There are lessons to learn from being human before progressing onward. What happens to a meditator after death? Emphasis is placed on practising right to enlightenment. Seeing the 3 marks, knowing the 4 truths.

S4 Ep13: "Conformity & Non-conformity" by Paul Harris

The House of Inner Tranquillity Podcast ·

2020/11/13

Our culture encourages us to forge an identity and stand out from the crowd. At the same time there is a requirement that we conform to society's expectations. The Buddha's teaching goes against the stream of worldly thinking and, to this degree, is non-conformist. Yet, to reap the benefits of following this way, a student must willingly conform to the training and the teachers instructions. This talk explores this paradox and its implications for practicing meditators as their understanding of how

Steve Hemmingsley is a meditation student at the House of Inner Tranquillity. Together with the Centre's Spiritual Director, Paul Harris, they discuss how to incorporate both the philosophy and practice of the Buddha's teaching in one's life. Timestamp: 00:00 When learning about the practice, can we over attach to knowledge? 05:40 As we match our direct experience with intellectual understanding, does that give us growing motivation to practice? 08:20 As we review our progress, can we say

S4 Ep11: "A New Direction" by Alan James

2020/10/30

We ignore our rich inner life, but we can turn our minds inward to see what is immediate and personal. We see that we act according to our characters. The three character types described. We see our minds are very busy and need quieting. This is done in steps. (1) We take refuge in the Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha. (2) We exercise sense restraint, physical and mental. (3) We develop our meditation, mindfulness and concentration sufficient to see the rise and fall of all things, especially the ultimates
