DharmaMind

Welcome to the DharmaMind Channel!
Founded by Āloka David Smith in 2007, the DharmaMind practice framework is the all-embracing spirit of Mahayana Buddhism, and focuses primarily on the formless approach known as “silent illumination”.  ‘DharmaMind’ denotes the type of mind that it is crucial to cultivate to aspire to freedom from self and enjoy happiness of heart.  The spirit of our training is closely allied to Chan, Zen and Dzogchen, ‘a practice of no-practice’ that embraces all of life, and practiced in the body through direct experience before thinking.  This spirit nurtures the ability to live life without the burden of spiritual ambition and goals, and has the delicious taste of freedom from attachment.
This channel has short teachings from our library of Āloka's Dharma Talks (https://dharmamind.net/media/videos/).  Each excerpt includes a link to the full talk from which it is taken. 
Podcasts of the full talks are also available which we will add to in the coming months.
