Renate Seifarth
Freude kommt eine wichtige Bedeutung auf dem spirituellen Weg zu. Zwei Quellen der Freude können unterschieden werden. Die Freude, die aus dem Kontakt mit freudvollen beglückenden Erfahrungen und Objekten kommt, und die Freude, mit der uns bestimmte Geisteszustände wie Achtsamkeit, Mitgefühl, Großzügigkeit und Dankbarkeit erfüllen. Letztere Quellen können wir uns aktiv erschließen durch unsere Praxis.

2019-11-06 Die fünf Khandha zur Illustration von Anatta 48:27
Renate Seifarth
Der Buddha erlegt das, was wir Ich nennen, in fünf Haufen. Durch die kognitive Funktion des „Greifens“, der Identifikation entsteht der Eindruck, dass ich das bin. Eine Betrachtung unserer Erfahrung durch die Einteilung in fünf Haufen, kann dies als Illusion erkannt werden.

2019-11-05 Denken als Objekt der Achtsamkeit 41:47
Renate Seifarth
In Vipassana Meditation schließen wir das Denken ein in unser Erforschen. Wir ergründen das Wesen des Denkens und erkennen das Entstehen und Vergehen der Gedanken. Gedanken sind nötig für unser Sein in dieser Welt. Problematisch ist die Identifikation mit unseren Gedanken, die zudem eine ganz zentrale Rolle in unserem Selbstverständnis spielen. Ein Resultat hierbei ist das Entstehen von Hochmut wie Minderwertigkeit. In der Praxis wollen wir uns aus der Identifikation mit den Gedanken befreien.

2019-11-04 Geisteszustände und schwierige Emotionen als Objekt der Achtsamkeit 47:35
Renate Seifarth
Der Buddha sagt, dass gewöhnlich der Geist dem Körper voran geht. Geisteszustände und Emotionen leiten uns zu bestimmten Handlungen. Wir wollen ihnen nicht länger blind folgen, sondern entscheiden können, welchen wir folgen und welchen nicht. Ein Gewahrsein ihrer ist dafür unerlässlich. Was kann uns hierbei helfen, dass sie uns nicht davonschwemmen?

Tara Brach
The boundary to what we accept is the boundary to our freedom. This talk explores the often unconscious ways we create separation by judging ourselves and others, and the key pathways of meditation practice that release the habit of blame and free our hearts.
