Renate Seifarth
Ein Vertreter einer anderen spirituellen Gruppierung zweifelt an der Lehre von Anatta und versucht sie zu widerlegen. Im Disput zwischen ihm und dem Buddha wird er überzeugt, da er keine der 5 khandha Kontrolle ausüben kann. Genauso können wir in unserer Praxis vorgehen und das, was wir erleben, in Hinblick darauf untersuchen, ob wir eine Kontrolle darüber ausüben können und falls nicht, wieso wir davon ausgehen können, dass dies Ich oder Mein sein kann.

None of the things that we identify with as ourselves have an essential "me" in them. This can be investigated in different domains of experience, from the body to emotions to the mind.

By opening to the perspective of everything arising and passing away in the space of awareness we see through the illusion of separation, directly experiencing anatta, the selfless nature of reality.

Die Ursache von dukkha wird in tanha gesehen, Sinnenlust, Daseinsbegehren und Selbstvernichtungsbegehren.

Ajahn Amaro
Questions are précised - 00:12 Q1 My practice of forgiveness turns into shame when I consider how I ever did that to that person. 08:58 Q2 I have had a health ailment for about a decade and there are moments of deep pain. I’ve gone past “Why me?” but I find I am very angry. I also find I easily dismiss other people’s pain. 20:51 Q3 Can you explain more about the difference between Dhammaniyāmatā and the Idappaccayatā? 29:27 Q4 What’s your view on euthanasia? Also – how can we plan to live in a commune rather than a hospice as we age? 40:05 Q5 What about organ donation? 43:40 Q6 What is euthanasia and what is taking active steps to expedite death? And what about people who decide not to continue treatment that prolongs life? 47:28 Q7 What about palliative care? 49:00 Q8 Are there any residential retreat places for parents with their children? I struggle with leaving my child alone and the problem of child care. 50:34 Q9 Regarding the old lady who came to Ajahn Chah for advice, [it seems like she was advised to practice] anatta. 55:34 Q10 That which is observing the five khandas, is that called dhamma itself?

Ajahn Achalo
04:02 Q1 - How can one truly love oneself? Many times even though we do an entire project we blame ourselves for some mistake and focus on the negative things. 10:25 Q2 - I'd like to know if faith is all about being positive? What about the things that we really can't do? Is accepting that an aspect of faith as well? Ajahn mentions 1) the Anatta-lakkhana Sutta: The Discourse on the Not-self Characteristic. It is available here: https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn22/sn22.059.than.html 2) Adittapariyaya Sutta: The Fire Sermon, available here: https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn35/sn35.028.than.html

2022-05-16 The Most Basic Truths: Gateways to Freedom | Monday Night Talk 53:39
Jack Kornfield
When I first entered the monasteries in Thailand and Burma, I was taught everything is anicca (impermanent), dukkha (unsatisfactory), and anatta (no-self). The reason these were repeated over and over again is because if you see these, you see with the eyes of wisdom. Because everything is changing, the more you cling and hold on, the more you suffer. To free ourselves, we need to quiet the mind through some mindfulness in meditation. Then, instead of identifying with the changing conditions, we learn to release them and turn toward consciousness itself, to rest in the knowing. My teacher Ajahn Chah called this pure awareness, "the original mind," or resting in "the one who knows." As the Jiddu Krishnamurti said, “It is the truth that liberates, and not your efforts to be free.” With practice, we discover the selflessness of experience; we shift identity. We can be in the midst of an experience, being upset or angry or caught by some problem, and then step back from it and rest in pure awareness. We let go; we release holding any thought or feeling as "I" or "mine." We release the whole sense of identification, and the conditioned world is just anicca (impermanent), dukkha (unsatisfactory), and anatta (empty of self) -- it has nothing to do with our true nature. We learn to trust pure awareness itself. This is one of the ways Ajahn Chah taught about liberation. Awakening is always here and now. Practicing this way, your life is transformed.
