Life Saving Sanctuary
25:31
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
Our spiritual home is within the heart. Are we able to activate that awareness, and to treasure kindness and goodness in our daily actions and speech? Can wholesome states of mind prevail even when we face difficult or painful conditions? Moral purity is the harbinger for our waking up to the Truth within us. As we hasten to empty and weed out self-centredness, the poison arrow of craving is extracted. This is freedom – this is life-saving sanctuary.

Our spiritual home is within the heart. Are we able to know and bring to life that awareness, to treasure goodness in our daily acts and words of kindness as well as in wholesome states of mind - even where conditions are not so conducive to that? Let us empty ourselves of self-centredness to embody more and more the realization of the Truth within us. Let us guard the mind against the hindrances and pull out the poison arrow of craving. What freedom! We shall brighten the mind and lift up our hearts. This is life-saving sanctuary.

Satipatthanapraxis - die fünf Hindernisse
50:09
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
In der vierten Grundlage der Achtsamkeit, der Satipatthana Sutta erwähnt der Buddha fünf Geisteszustände, die er als Hindernisse in der Praxis sieht. Es handelt sich um Verlangen, Ablehnung, Mattheit, Rastlosigkeit und skeptischen Zweifel. Wie erkennen wir die Hindernisse und wie gehen wir mit ihnen um? Wobei diese Geisteszustände manchmal auch ganz stimmige oder sogar hilfreiche Regungen des Geistes sind.

The Winds of Change
33:02
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
We are on a mountain with a tremendous view. Let the breath speak to us. Stay present and watch, both the joy and the suffering. Investigate wisely and patiently like a parent whose child may object or run away. We try to see the breath clearly, with mindfulness that is like the sun upon a flower. Attentive and receptive, timeless, and still, we gently soften and mellow – just knowing, observing, and selflessly giving the mind back to pure presence. To trust the breath is to let go moment by moment, discovering its hidden truths – our true home here and now.

Satipatthanapraxis, Teil 1 - Körper

Renate Seifarth

|
|
Nach einer kurzen Erklärung wie und wo sich die Vipassana Meditation enwickelt hat folgt eine Erklärung, was Achtsamkeit ist und wie sie mit dem Körper praktiziert wird. Was sind die Merkmale von Achtsamkeit? Was ergibt sich daraus? Welche Einsichten werden möglich? Was verbirgt sich hinter der Täuschung?

Opening to the abundance of the moment

These sunny days, green hills, and the smell of spring are inspiring this week's talk on opening to the abundance of the moment. I'd like to explore with you how easy it is to get stuck in a rut of "not-enoughness". This could be a feeling of lack within your self or in your relationships with others. It might be how you view your life or society as a whole. How can we open our hearts and minds to see the fullness of life that is available and right in front of us? How can we use the practices of awareness and gratitude to come into a fuller acceptance of how things really are and find peace.

Beyond the Controlling Self – Part 2
49:22
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
It’s natural that we do what we can to ward off danger and further ourselves. While our control strategies – such as aggression, judging, planning, seeking approval, pretending – have a developmental role, they are not a recipe for happiness, intimacy and freedom. An essential part of our evolution is to recognize when we are over-managing our lives, and learn to let go of the controls. These talks explore how we can release the grip of the over-controller, and the profound awakening of our hearts and minds that is possible in the shift from doing to being.
