2022-11-05 Die vier edlen Wahrheiten 59:22
Yuka Nakamura
Die Lehre über die vier edlen Wahrheiten stellt die Essenz der gesamten buddhistischen Lehren dar. Die vier edlen Wahrheiten weisen auf unsere existentielle Situation als Menschen hin, mit Leiden und Unzulänglichkeit konfrontiert zu sein, und auf unser Potential, dieses Leiden zu überwinden. Sie laden uns ein, uns für unsere eigene Erfahrung zu öffnen - für Schmerz, Leid, Konflikte etc. - und Einsicht in die Ursachen und Bedingungen von Leiden zu gewinnen. Und sie zeigen einen gangbaren Pfad auf, der zum Ende von Leiden führt - zum Erwachen.

2022-11-04 Indriya - Die fünf spirituellen Fähigkeiten 61:44
Yuka Nakamura
Um den Weg des Erwachens zu gehen, braucht es die fünf spirituellen Fähigkeiten - die Indriyas: Vertrauen, Energie, Achtsamkeit, Sammlung und Weisheit. Sie ermöglichen es, den Geist absichtsvoll und bewusst auszurichten und zu steuern. Auch wenn sie eine Art Sequenz darstellen - ein minimales Vertrauen ist Voraussetzung, um sich überhaupt auf die Praxis einzulassen - müssen letztlich alle Fähigkeiten in einer ausgewogenen Weise entwickelt werden. Diese Liste und das achtsame Gewahrsein helfen uns zu erkennen, wie stark die verschiedenen Fähigkeiten in uns entwickelt sind und entsprechend darauf zu achten, dass wir die noch weniger entwickelten Fähigkeiten stärken.

Mark Nunberg
Cambridge Insight Meditation Center

2022-11-02 Meditation: Befriending Our Experience 22:37
Tara Brach
We begin the meditation with a sense of befriending our experience – with an intention towards gentleness and kindness as the attention goes inward. We scan the body, opening to sounds and the senses, resting in the awareness that includes this changing life. When the mind drifts, as it naturally does, we notice, then relax back into a receptive, listening presence. There’s nothing to do, simply letting life be as it is. Resting in the freedom of awake, open awareness.
Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC

2022-11-02 Three Practices for Nurturing Wise Hope 50:02
Tara Brach
Wise or spiritual hope includes the aspiration to manifest our full potential, individually and collectively, and the trust that this is possible. This talk explores how, especially in stressful times, this hope gets clouded over by fear; and how when it is alive, wise hope energizes and guides all spiritual transformation. We look at three practices – 3 A’s – that help us nurture hope: Aspiration for what we love, Attending to what we love, and Actively serving what we love. This talk includes several poems by poet Danna Faulds.

Yuka Nakamura
Upekkhā - Gleichmut oder Ausgeglichenheit - ist das vierte und letzte der Brahmavihāras, der himmlischen Verweilzustände. Gleichmut hilft uns, inmitten herausfordernder, schwieriger Umstände innerlich stabil zu bleiben. In Beziehungen zeigt sich Gleichmut als Toleranz für andere Menschen und als die Fähigkeit, zwischenmenschliche Konflikte nicht eskalieren zu lassen. Mit Gleichmut fällt es auch leichter, in Situationen, die jenseits unserer Macht liegen, loszulassen.

Muditā ist das dritte der vier Brahmavihāras, der himmlischen Verweilzustände. Sie ist die Fähigkeit, sich über das, was heilsam und gut ist zu freuen und es wertzuschätzen - bei sich selbst und bei anderen. Muditā hilft dem Geist, angesichts von Leiden und Herausforderungen im Gleichgewicht zu bleiben. Welche Faktoren stehen der Freude im Weg und wie können wir sie bewusst kultivieren?

2022-10-26 The Importance of Cultivating Stillness 45:29
Tuere Sala
Stillness is an ever present phenomenon and yet it seems so elusive in urban (also referred to as householder or lay) practice. Within the context of contemporary society, cultivating stillness can seem self-indulgent. Our demanding can sometimes make it harder to recognize it, but stillness is part of the unconditional and thus, a necessary aspect of awakening. This talk will explore how urban practitioners can learn to cultivate stillness in the midst of movement and chaos.
Cambridge Insight Meditation Center

2022-10-26 Meditation: At Home in the Moment 20:33
Tara Brach
This meditation cultivates a gentle, wakeful presence in the body, with the “smile down” and then guides us to resting in a home base of sensations or the breath. We then open to whatever arises with a clear and inclusive attention, saying “Yes” to the life that is here.
Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC

2022-10-26 Cultivating Inner Strength – A Conversation with Tara Brach and Lori Deschene 59:43
Tara Brach
What gives us the inner strength to meet life’s challenges with resilience, heart and wisdom? Drawing on themes in Lori’s new book, “The Tiny Buddha’s Inner Strength Journal,” Tara and Lori explore the mindset that is conducive to growth, working with negative beliefs, ways of transforming fear, and what it means to have inner strength in facing loss and death. We also talk about what can most empower and energize us in responding to a world struggling with multiple crises. NOTE: Find Lori Deschene’s “The Tiny Buddha’s Inner Strength Journal” here: tinybuddha.com/strong. Lori also created several free companion resources, available at tinybuddha.com/strength-tools.

Mark Nunberg
From the beginning of our practice on, the Buddha teaches that this path has the one taste of freedom. How can we train the heart to become more and more attuned to this flavor of release or letting go? It is the recognition of this trustworthy, onward-leading pleasure that guides the heart along the spiritual path.

Ayya Medhanandi
Strong in restraint, courageous in wisdom, we use the compass of right view to steer us on the Noble Eightfold Path, while right intention sustains the healing actions of mind that let go unwholesome thoughts and endless fabrications. We learn to live and respond to life compassionately, responsibly, mindfully, with integrity and noble presence of mind. Healing from above and below, from the outside and internally, we listen to the unspoken silence of the heart that resounds in the galaxies. Keenly aware, supremely blessed, we rejoice in the totality of unbounded compassion.
