2022-08-26 Concern for All Beings: Plant-Based Eating - A conversation with Tara Brach and Tricycle‘s editor-in-chief, James Shaheen. - 58:09
Tara Brach
A vegetarian diet, while encouraged in most schools of Buddhism, isn’t a requirement of the Buddhist path. But there are powerful spiritual opportunities in embracing a plant-based diet. Following a vegetarian or plant-based diet is one way to practice compassion, reduce harm, and recognize our interconnectedness with all living beings and the earth itself. So what does the dharma say about vegetarianism? How might plant-based eating support our spiritual practice?

2022-08-31 Meditation: The Presence Beyond Thoughts 17:33
Tara Brach
We spend many life moments in a trance of thinking. This meditation awakens the senses through a body scan, and attention to sound. We then rest in the presence that can come alive in the gap between thoughts—the presence that is our true home.
2022-08-31 Survival of the Nurtured – Our Path to Belonging 54:54
Tara Brach
We flourish when nurtured with love and understanding. Yet for so many, the violence of our society and lack of attuned caretakers has severed trust and belonging. This talk explores how meditation and conscious relating with each other can restore the connections so vital to healing and spiritual freedom.
2022-08-31 Satipatthana: Kontemplation der Vedanas - Der zweite Pfeil 61:01
Yuka Nakamura
Vedanā - die Gefühlstönung jeder Erfahrung - hat einen großen Einfluss auf unsere Entscheidungen und Verhaltensweisen und spielt eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Entstehung von Leiden. Aus diesem Grund ist es wichtig, sich ihrer gewahr zu werden. Ausgehend von der Salla-Sutta, der Lehrrede über den Pfeil, erläutert der Vortrag, wie sich der Geist in Reaktivität verfängt und so weitere Schichten des Leidens hinzufügt. Durch das Verstehen der unbeständigen und bedingten Natur der Vedanās entwickelt der Geist Gleichmut und erlangt Befreiung von diesen reaktiven Mustern.
