2022-09-03 Vergänglichkeit - eine mächtige Lehrerin 53:57
Yuka Nakamura
Vergänglichkeit/Sterblichkeit ist ein zentrales Thema im Dharma. Sie ist eine existentielle Tatsache, die uns herausfordern kann und die wir oft vermeiden oder abwehren. In der Praxis wollen wir die vergängliche Natur aller bedingten Phänomene kontemplieren und Einsicht darin gewinnen. Diese Einsicht lässt uns die Kostbarkeit der Dinge erkennen und liebevoll mit anderen Menschen umgehen. Darüber hinaus spornt sie uns zur Dharmapraxis an, erzeugt spirituelle Dringlichkeit und führt den Geist zur Befreiung von Anhaftung.
2022-09-04 Ending Suffering 34:51
Hugh Byrne
The Buddha said, "I teach one thing, suffering and its end." His first and central teaching on the Four Noble Truths provides us with an understanding of suffering and its origins in craving/clinging; and how it’s possible to end suffering by abandoning clinging and the path to follow to end suffering in our lives—the Noble Eightfold Path. We can bring this teaching to bear on any moment or experience of our life and find freedom from suffering.

2022-09-08 Refuge in the Buddha Within 55:07
James Baraz
This talk explores the deeper meaning of "Taking Refuge in the Buddha." This is not simply honoring or being inspired by the historical figure who lived 2,500 years ago. Until we see the Buddha right inside of us we are missing the point of what that teacher was trying to have us awaken to. We will look at various teachings that point to discovering the Buddha within.
