Bhante Sujato
Meditation on the arising of desire, the drivers of thought rather than getting caught in thought. Dhamma talk Part 4 on Satipaṭṭhāna: Principles (dhammā). The 5 hindrances and 7 awakening factors common to all versions of Satipaṭṭhāna. The novelty of this section builds on the previous sections and introduces causality; where the arising of things like desire come from, as well as how they come to end, and how they don't arise again using both observation and inference. Dhamma as natural principles that describe how the world works.

Bhante Sujato
Meditation on awareness. Dhamma talk Part 3 on Satipaṭṭhāna: Mind (citta). The power of awareness. Movement towards subtlety, like an echo or an animal. Focussing on how greed, hate or delusion effect the mind; the mind with or without these. Awareness emerging from contemplation of the body and feeling. Discussion of wanting and not wanting, noticing when hate is reduced. How to see delusion in meditation; moha as thinking you know, delusion as a destraction from knowing often by way of greed and hate.

Bhante Sujato
Meditation on the elements inside ourselves. Dhamma talk Part 2 on Satipaṭṭhāna: Feelings (vedana). Satipaṭṭhāna as a "samādhinimitta", use of nimitta vs. descriptions of lights during meditation in the suttas. Anapanāsati as a another way to do Satipaṭṭhāna. Vedana as present in the breath. Pain during meditation. How the Buddha emphasised happiness during meditation (often a synonym for meditation!). Equanamity is the final stage in major lists such as the seven awakening factors, brahmavihāras.

2022-09-23 Meditation on presence of mind, Dhamma talk Part 1 on Satipaṭṭhāna: The Body 1:37:55
Bhante Sujato
Meditation on presence of mind. Beginning of dhamma talks on Satipaṭṭhāna. Part 1: The Body. The meanings of Satipaṭṭhāna; explicitly means meditation. The four Satipaṭṭhāna meditations are body (kāyānupassī), feelings (vedanānupassī), mind (cittānupassī), principles (dhammānupassī). The body as something simple to ground oneself on. Mindfulness as "presence of mind", related to time, to keep on remembering and being conscious with firmness and steadiness.

2022-09-02 Satipatthana: Kontemplation von dhammas 56:44
Yuka Nakamura
Im vierten Satipatthana geht es um die Kontemplation der Erfahrung im Licht des Dharmas und des Pfads. Das Herzstück bildet die Kontemplation der fünf Hindernisse und der sieben Erwachensfaktoren sowie der zu ihnen führenden Bedingungen. Dies ermöglicht ein geschicktes Kultivieren des Geistes.

2022-09-01 Satipatthana: Kontemplation des Citta 59:03
Yuka Nakamura
In der Kontemplation von Citta geht es um das achtsame Gewahrsein der geistigen Zustände, der Psyche, besonders um das Erkennen, ob unheilsame oder heilsame Zustände im Geist sind. Die eigenen Geisteszustände achtsam wahrzunehmen bedeutet, sie weder zu unterdrücken noch von ihnen überschwemmt zu werden, sondern sie im Gewahrsein zu halten und zu erforschen. Das Akronym RAIN stellt ein nützliches Schema für den achtsamen und weisen Umgang mit den Geisteszuständen dar.

2022-08-31 Satipatthana: Kontemplation der Vedanas - Der zweite Pfeil 61:01
Yuka Nakamura
Vedanā - die Gefühlstönung jeder Erfahrung - hat einen großen Einfluss auf unsere Entscheidungen und Verhaltensweisen und spielt eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Entstehung von Leiden. Aus diesem Grund ist es wichtig, sich ihrer gewahr zu werden. Ausgehend von der Salla-Sutta, der Lehrrede über den Pfeil, erläutert der Vortrag, wie sich der Geist in Reaktivität verfängt und so weitere Schichten des Leidens hinzufügt. Durch das Verstehen der unbeständigen und bedingten Natur der Vedanās entwickelt der Geist Gleichmut und erlangt Befreiung von diesen reaktiven Mustern.

2022-08-30 Satipatthana: Die Kontemplation des Körpers 58:34

Nikki Mirghafori
In this guided meditation, we explore connecting with our intention, relaxing the body, and then devote ourselves to the first two jhanic factors: vitakka and vicara, initial application and sustained application, or connect and continue. The guidance ends with planting the seeds for gladness and joy by noticing the absence of the hindrances, as taught in the satipatthana sutta.

2022-04-07 Clear Comprehension: The Buddha's Teaching on Four Different Elements of Practice 48:53
James Baraz
This talk explores the topic of Clear Comprehension (sampajañña in Pali) a powerful Dharma teaching on four different aspects of practice. In the Satipatthana Sutta the Discourse on the Four Foundation of Mindfulness, with regard to each foundation, the Buddha says the following: "Here, bhikkhus (practitioners), a bhikkhu (practitioner) lives contemplating the body in the body, ardent, clearly comprehending and mindful, having overcome, in this world, covetousness and grief..." Clear comprehension means more than just having bare attention. Understanding and applying these four facets of Clear Comprehension can support a real deepening of our Dharma practice.

2022-03-25 Meditation and Dhamma talk on the five aggregates (khandā) 1:26:10
Bhante Sujato
From Harris Park. Meditation on the five "aggregates" (khandā), guided by Bhante Sujato. Dhamma talk by Bhante Sujato on the five aggregates. Subtle (sukhuma) rūpa perceived by the mind. The aggregates as inseparable aspects of experience. Perception recognizes and puts details together to meaningful wholes. Sankhārā in this context: volition. Meaning of "upadāna khandā"; metaphor of the hand. Q+A: Contemplation of khandas in the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta. Why such brief introduction of the concept of khandas in the Dhammacakkapavattana Sutta (reference: MN 26).

Eugene Cash
Satipatthana - Four Foundations of Mindfulness offers us specific meditation practices with the body, breath, in four postures, in all activities, with the elements, with death, vedana, the heart/mind and the dharmas including hindrances and the seven factors of awakenings. Each of these practices includes a through line: One abides independent, not clinging to anything in the world. The not clinging to body, heart, mind or any experience is both the foundation of the Buddha's teaching and the doorway to freedom. It's the experience of coming into alignment with ' he way things are.'

2019-11-21 Attitudes of the Mind 41:25
Kate Munding
In past weeks I've been pulling inspiration from the Satipatthana Sutta, the foundational teachings on mindfulness. I've been linking them to some of it's underpinning truths of change, impermanence, suffering, and freedom from it. I'd like to continue on this thread for tomorrow's talk and bring in the third foundation, the foundation of the mind.. We'll explore how, when we aren't lost in it, the mind is a fascinating subject for our attention. When we understand our mind more fully, we can more fully understand who we are. We'll use this theme to understand better the truth of self and not-self.

2019-04-20 Satipatthanapraxis - Unwissenheit durchdringen 45:46
Renate Seifarth
Am Ende geht es in der Satipatthana Sutta um das erkennen der Unwissenheit, Täuschung bzw. das unschuldige Missverständnis in unserer Wahrnehmungsverarbeitung. Wir verarbeiten unser persönliches Erleben als etwas Dauerhaftes, Befriedigendes und Persönliches, das autark und beständig wirklich ist. Das Missverständnis führt zu Verstrickung und Leiden. Das Durchdringen der Täuschung zu Verbundenheit, Wertschätzung und Frieden. Im ersten Schritt gilt es die Täuschung zu bemerken, im zweiten Erfahrungen zuzulassen, die das Missverständnis offen legen.

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.
