2024-12-14 Gleichmut - Stabil wie ein Berg 57:21
Yuka Nakamura
Gleichmut ist eines von vier Brahmaviharas und einer der sieben Erwachensfaktoren. Er ist die innere Stabilität und Unerschütterlichkeit, die sich von äusseren Bedingungen nicht aus dem Gleichgewicht bringen lässt, und er ist die Fähigkeit, selbst in stürmischen Zeiten inneren Frieden zu finden. Gleichmut hilft uns, soziale Beziehungen harmonischer zu gestalten und Situationen, die wir nicht kontrollieren können, zu akzeptieren.

Yuka Nakamura
Mudita - das dritte der vier Brahmaviharas - wird als Mitfreude, wertschätzende oder selbstlose Freude bezeichnet. Sie ist die Herzensqualität, die das Gute, das Schöne, das Glück wertschätzt - in unserem eigenen Leben und bei anderen. Unser Leben ist reich an Anlässen für Mudita - seien es unsere Lebensumstände, die Schönheit der Natur, ethische, heilsame Handlungen und die Tatsache, dass wir dem Dharma begegnet sind und ihn praktizieren.
