Dukkha ist Teil der Welt. Es braucht eine Antwort darauf. Weisheit bringt uns Gelassenheit, Liebe - metta - und Mitgefühl - karuna - spenden Trost. Weisheit und Metta gehören wie zwei Seiten einer Münzen untrennbar zu unserer Praxis der inneren Befreiung. Lieben wird gehindert durch Erwartungen. Weisheit befreit uns von solchen.

Yahel Avigur
Download Listen
The Buddha suggests that the practice of mettā and the other brahmavihāras can serve as a basis for refined perceptions, in which the solidity of “self” and “other” begins to dissolve. In this sequence of reflections and guided meditations, we begin to explore and experiment with such possibilities.

A dharma talk exploring anattā through the five aggregates and the Anattālakkhaṇa Sutta, alongside Anāthapiṇḍika's deathbed teaching from Sāriputta. Weaves impermanence and death contemplation together with not-self - drawing on Thanissaro Bhikkhu's pragmatic (not metaphysical) framing of not-self - and closes with mettā as the natural fruit of a loosened, undefended heart.
