About Dharma Talks
In this podcast, Steve Wilhelm introduces the Dharma Talk Series. Steve has been engaged in Buddhist practice since 1987. He has studied and practiced in the Tibetan and Vipassana traditions, and has taught dharma at Eastside Insight Meditation since 2000, and more recently at Seattle Insight Meditation Society. He also edits Northwest Dharma Association website, an online publication, and serves on the boards of Clear Mountain Monastery and the Tibetan Nuns Project. He is also a member of the CEIE Advisory Council. He speaks here with CEIE Director Dr. Michael Reid Trice.
Dharma is a form of teaching and brings multiple meanings from many traditions. In the podcast near the bottom of this page, Steve Wilhelm invites us to consider Dharma in the Buddhist traditions as instructions for awakening, as paths to practice toward awakening, and as a means of aligning ourselves to reality around us. This year we will hear three speakers who teach us about attachment, suffering, and our limits and freedoms, and more.
All speakers come from traditions in Buddha Dharma that are unique from, yet clearly resonant with, one another. Wilhelm responds to the question: “Why do we need a Dharma talk series this year?” To listen and learn about past Dharma Talks and teachers, scroll down below.
