Victor von der Heyde

This talk serves - in part - as an introduction to the imaginal practice talks.

2025-10-03 Geduld und dulden lernen - khanti 43:38
Renate Seifarth
In der Sutta über die Bambusakrobaten überlegen die beiden Artisten, wie sie unbeschadet ihre Kunststücke zeigen können. Sie sind gegensätzlicher Ansicht. Achte ich besser auch mich oder achte ich auf den anderen? Der erläutert der Buddha anschließend, warum beide Recht haben. Achten auf sich selbst bedeutet Achtsamkeit zu kultivieren. Dadurch achtet man auch auf den anderen. Guduld, Gewaltlosigkeit, Liebe und Teilnahme zu entwickeln, bedeutet auf den anderen zu blicken, wovon man selbst ebenfalls profitiert. Geduld ist ein wesentliches Element. Geduld öffnet Raum und Zeit für Entwicklung. Zu Geduld gehört aber auch etwas Schwieriges dulden zu können. Dadurch wird Reaktivität verhindert.

Renate Seifarth
Wer achtet auf wen? In einer Sutta diskutieren Bambusakrobaten darüber wie sie vorgehen sollen, um unbeschadet ihre Kunststücke zu zeigen. Für den Buddha ist es eine Gelegenheit darzulegen, dass sowohl das achten auf sich selbst wie das achten auf den anderen wichtig ist. Ersteres wird durch die Praxis der vier Grundlagen der Achtsamkeit erreicht, während das Achten auf den anderen in der Praxis von Geduld, Gewaltlosigkeit, Liebe und Teilnahme besteht.

Singer ,Songwriter, Dharma Teacher, Betsy Rose shares some songs, poems and reflections on navigating our relationship to time.

Feeling pressured, squeezed, and overloaded can be a familiar experience. This talk explores practices and choices that can help restore a sense of spaciousness and wise view to the mysterious construct we call “time.”
