2026-09-23 Exploring Anatta: Non-Self 46:10
Tim Geil
Anatta, or non-self, is a core teaching of the Buddha, and yet can be confusing and bewildering. Sometimes the sense of self loves trying to get rid of itself, all the while maintaining itself on subtle levels. Yet, anatta is our true nature, and we release and relax into non-separation and unity. Qualities of compassion and the heart often support this understanding more than our intellect. This talk will explore anatta from a practical and experiential perspective.

2026-09-22 Ursachen von dukkha 45:29
Renate Seifarth
Die Ursachen von Leiden, dukkha, sind manigfach. Zum einen werden Formen des Verlangens und des Ablehnens, die Triebe, die Ausflüsse - asavas - genannt. Zum anderen die Unwissenheit, die Täuschung über das Wesen aller Personen und Erscheinungen. Unsere falschen Annahmen und unser greifendes Verhalten führt zu Verstrickung und Leid. Unsere Aufgabe besteht darin, die Täuschung zu durchschauen und unsere Triebe lenken zu können oder loslassen zu können.
