Interviews with Venerable Amy Miller at Shantideva Meditation Center
Shantideva Meditation Center in New York has recently started to offer short online videos to bring the wisdom of its visiting teachers to people outside of its geographic area. Unlike recorded teachings, which could be a few hours long and more likely appeal to seasoned students, these concise clips are designed to engage newcomers who are curious about the fundamentals of Buddhism and how it might benefit their lives.

Perspectives on Happiness
A presentation on “Perspectives on Happiness” for the Gross National Happiness Conference in Burlington, Vermont, June, 2010. See Ven. Amy’s talk at 2:15 – 19:45 along with some questions and answers from 45:00 – 70:00.
Karma, or action, is often presented as some kind of mystical force that governs our lives but that is incomprehensible.
In fact, the basics of karma are pretty straightforward and are actually in tune with our kind of innate inner wisdom rather than the learned external knowledge of our schooling. Effects come from causes, and similar effects come from similar causes. What we give out comes back on us. What goes around comes around.
If we want sustainable long-term happiness, which is an internal mental state, there is no point in trying to manipulate external things and events. To experience happy pleasant effects we need to look inside and set up the mental causes for them while at the same time getting rid of the mental causes that can damage our happiness now and in the future.

Choosing Kindness: Empathy, Emptiness, and Empowerment in Challenging Times
Join the Ven. Amy Miller, as she gently guides us through a very fundamental lesson for challenging times. Not only can we learn to not harbour anger and mistrust, in the face of those who offer it: if we truly acknowledge and accept our hurt and pain we can keep our emotional channels open and ‘true’. The result of working through uncomfortable emotional stages can be a truly remarkable transformation; one that has the power to change not only our own energy but also bring out the positive energy in others.
