2024-10-04 Zuflucht und Vertrauen in den Weg 50:49
Renate Seifarth
Buddha lehrte einen radikal anderen Weg zu inneren Glück. Anfängliches Vertrauen bringt uns auf den Weg, das sich im Laufe unserer Praxis als tragfähig erweisen muss. Ein Drehpunkt in unserer Praxis erfolgt, wenn wir soweit von dem Weg überzeugt sind, dass das Potential zu Erwachen, die Lehre und Weisheiten darin sowie die Gemeinschaft der Praktizierenden unsere Zuflucht werden. Die Zuflucht braucht Nahrung durch Pflege dieser Ausrichten und äußerlich oder innerlich durch die Zufluchtnahme erfolgen. Dennoch können Zweifel immer wieder auftauchen. Achtsamkeit wiederum entwickelt unsere Fähigkeit zu vertrauen, uns auf das Ungewisse im neuen Moment einzulassen.
Waldhaus am Laacher See :  Vipassana und Karuna

2024-10-03 Weisheit und Mitgefühl – Teil 2 47:34
Renate Seifarth
Mitgefühl mit unbekannten Personen fordert die Fähigkeit mich mit ihnen zu verbinden und unsere Ähnlichkeit als fühlendes Wesen zu spüren. Durch entsprechende Reflexionen können wir dies in uns lebendig werden lassen. Im Dhamma reflektieren wir über unseren existenziellen Bogen von Geburt über Kränkeln, Altern und Sterben oder darüber, dass wir ähnliche Wünsche und Ängste teilen. Mitgefühl mit schwierigen Personen oder Feinden wiederum braucht die tiefe Einsicht, dass Hass und Grausamkeit als Reaktionen uns selber schaden. In unserer Praxis nähren wir die Entschlossenheit diese beiden Geistesgifte zu überwinden.

2024-10-02 The Courage to Say Yes – A Conversation with Tara and poet, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer 62:23
Tara Brach
I ran across acclaimed poet, Rosemerry Trommer, several years ago in a volume where she shares about the loss of her son, Finn, who took his life at age 16. I had never read anything on grieving that touched me so deeply, that held so much wisdom, such a deep affirmation of love. I went on to read her collection All the Honey, and now her new one, The Unfolding. These books are filled with Post-its: I didn’t realize how much I needed Rosemerry’s words to remind me of what most matters. In our interview, we talk about the key themes in her poems: grief, love, opening to what’s difficult and what’s beautiful… saying yes to life. The Unfolding, by Rosemerry Wahtola Tromer, will help you remember the loving that most matters, and to say Yes to this precious life. This is a wonderful gift to your own spirit, and for dear ones in your life! Order Rosemerry’s books, here!

Erläutert wird, wie sie zusammenhängen, einander brauchen und wo im 8-fachen Pfad darauf hingedeutet wird. Wie können wir Mitgefühl entwickeln? Abhängig von unterschiedlichen Personengruppen zeigen sich unterschiedliche Schwierigkeiten. Beleuchtet werden in Teil 1 diejenigen, die bei sich selbst, bei Wohltätern und Freunden auftreten können.

2024-09-26 Noble Rescue 24:25
Ayya Medhanandi
How can we rescue ourselves from the obstacles to our happiness? We must not disregard the power of awareness in the present moment to vanquish suffering. For in this very moment is everything we need to know. All moments, whether tainted or blessed, are conditioned by their predecessor. Without care and discernment, vigilance and integrity, we could easily fall into states of decline. Ill-will begets enmity, while joy begets ease and serenity, and each moment is the mother of the next. So too, stepping into the joys of life as it unfolds, we live by the best qualities we can reap. One bare insight into truth and we know what we truly are. Then we open the gates to the Deathless.
