The Snowmass Inter-Religious Dialogue, convened by Father Thomas Keating at St. Benedict's Monastery in Colorado from 1984 onward, is the longest-running serious contemplative-traditions conversation in modern history. Buddhist participants over the decades included Roshi Joan Halifax, Maha Ghosananda, and senior Tibetan and Theravada teachers; the archives capture sessions on prayer, meditation, suffering, the absolute, and the nature of awakening across Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, and Indigenous voices. For TPS's Lumbini contemplative-humanity framing, this archive is uniquely relevant — it is the model.
The model archive for serious inter-contemplative dialogue. Uniquely relevant to TPS's Lumbini-as-contemplative-humanity-capital framing.

The RAIN of Self-Compassion
Tara Brach's signature contribution: the four-step protocol — Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture — that has been adopted, adapted, and absorbed into hundreds of clinical and contemplative settings. In this talk she walks through the practice slowly, illustrates it with case material from her psychotherapy work, and ends with a guided meditation. It has been viewed and listened to tens of millions of times across YouTube and the Tara Brach podcast — the single most circulated practice protocol in modern Western dhamma.
Mindfulness of Mind
Joseph Goldstein — co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts — opens up cittānupassanā, the third foundation of mindfulness. The talk is from his 'Satipatthāna Sutta' retreat series and remains the clearest English-language teaching on observing the mind itself: states of greed, aversion, distraction, calm. Goldstein's exposition is famously precise, famously dry, and entirely free of decoration. It is the lecture you give a serious student who has just discovered they have a mind.
Lovingkindness
Reclaiming Your Energy
Sharon Salzberg, who effectively brought mettā practice from Burma to the American mainstream beginning in the 1970s, gives the definitive contemporary English exposition of lovingkindness. She walks the four classical phrases, the four directions of radiation, and the difficult cases — yourself, the difficult person, the enemy. Salzberg's gift is making a 2,500-year-old contemplative technology feel like a tool you'd actually pick up tomorrow morning.
