Akincano Marc Weber
Relationship of different instructions to each other. Many spices, but we don't cook with all of them at once. Orientation: how to find out and recognize what's going in your mind. (Using the satipaṭṭhāna map) Relationship: a) getting reliably in touch with and b) learning to relate skillfully to the states. Shifting attention away from habits. Mindfulness does not mean 'no discernment' – it is quite capable on discerning what is wholesome and unwholesome.

Akincano Marc Weber
Kafka and the girl with a lost doll. Satipaṭṭhāna and Suttas in general – a little history. Satipaṭṭhāna as a cartography of human expericence: the 'raw materials' to establish mindfulness in. (This is not the satipaṭṭhāna as exercise but their use as a map of the somatic, hedonic, affective and discursive aspects of mind.) This orientation helps greatly with the actual practice of satipatthana exercises outline elsewhere.

Cittānupassanā, die Kontemplation des Herzgeistes, ist ein wichtiger Teil der Vipassanā-Praxis und das dritte der vier Satipatthanas. Es geht um die Achtsamkeit auf den Zustand des Cittas, die uns erkennen lässt, welche Emotionen, Stimmungen und Kräfte jeweils präsent sind, und wie gefangen oder rein und gesammelt der Geist ist. Der Vortrag geht auf die Schwierigkeiten ein, die das Wahrnehmen von Emotionen erschweren können und zeigt praktische Wege auf, um mit diesen umzugehen.

Unser Herzgeist - Citta - und seine Zustände sind der Bereich des dritten Satipatthana. Wir üben uns darin, achtsam auf die ganze Welt der Emotionen, Stimmungen, Impulse, Gedanken zu sein. Wie gelingt dies, ohne sich in Emotionen zu verlieren und ohne sie zu verdrängen? Durch diese Praxis gelangen wir zur Einsicht, dass alle diese psychischen Zustände vergänglich und unpersönlich sind.

2022-10-14 Meditation on the arising of desire, Dhamma talk Part 4 on Satipaṭṭhāna: Principles (dhammā) 1:27:36
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.
Lokanta Vihara

2022-09-30 Meditation on the elements inside ourselves, Dhamma talk Part 2 on Satipaṭṭhāna: Feelings (vedana) 1:22:06
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.
Lokanta Vihara

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.
Lokanta Vihara

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.
Meditationszentrum Beatenberg

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.
Meditationszentrum Beatenberg

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.
