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.

2022-11-07 Q and A after talk - Q&A - Empowering Faith Energizing Practice, Wat Marp Chan 15:22
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
