Changing the Channel - Letting in the Good
46:10
|
James Baraz
|
|
The barrage of frightening headlines every day often leave us with feelings of despair, hopelessness and negativity. While it's important to feel connected to the suffering all around us, it is equally important to nourish ourselves by opening to the goodness in life--both inside and around us. This helps us skillfully create a larger container so that we are not overwhelmed by the dukkha but rather can process it with balance and skill.

Tara Brach

The Dalai Lama regularly says that everyone wants to be happy, nobody wants to suffer. Arthur Brooks, in his new book on getting happier (co-authored with Oprah Winfrey) digs into the practical and science-based approaches that increase deep wellbeing. In this conversation Tara and Arthur discuss the ingredients of happiness, the role of unhappiness in our lives, how to work with core ego-fears, the power of metacognition, the necessity of transcendence of small self and the love that is the grounds of true happiness.

Fnding Refuge - Skillfully holding it all
52:06
|
James Baraz
|
|
Refuge is a word that is often used in Buddhist teachings. We long to feel safe and protected from inner and outer harm. When everything seems out of control where can we find true refuge? How can the practice help us hold it all?
This talk refers to a highly recommended conversation on the Mideast situation between two women (one Israeli, one German) who give communication trainings based on Nonviolent Communication: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K16F_lL4N1w.

The Wise Heart of Radical Acceptance
68:26
|
Tara Brach
|
|
When we are caught in self-judgment we forget the truth of who we are – our wholeness, awareness and love. This talk examines how we take the imperfect waves of our being personally, and become imprisoned in the trance of unworthiness, a limited and distorted reality. We then look at how the practice of Radical Acceptance enables us to come home to a fullness of being, and live from a growing sense of loving connectedness with all beings.

Gelassenheit und Mut für Veränderung
50:07
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
Gelassenheit als Kraft, die Lassen-Können und den Mut zur Veränderung beinhaltet. Beides üben wir in Vipassana. Gelassenheit als Kraft balanciert zwischen Polen und balanciert das Wünschen in den Brahmavihara. Das Unmögliche zu tun wird möglich wie wir es im Bodhisattva-Gelübde wiederfinden.

Guided Meditation: The Sea of Awareness
15:33
|
Tara Brach
|
|
Our attention habitually fixates on the foreground of thoughts and feelings, and fuels an unconscious identification with a sense of separate self. This meditation guides us in recognizing the awareness that is the background and source of all experience. By resting in and as the awareness that we are, all sense of separation dissolves revealing the vastness and oneness of Being.

Die drei Daseinsmerkmale erkennen
48:01
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
Achtsamkeit führt zum Gewahrwerden der drei Merkmale des Daseins. Ihr Erkennen ändert uns tiefgreifend. Worum handelt es sich hierbei? Und wie erkennen wir sie? Im Zentrum stehen Vergänglichkeit, anicca, und Nicht-Selbst, anatta.
