The Skillful and Unskillful Use of Identities - A Workshop
2:09:54
|
Mark Nunberg
|
|
Led by Mark Nunberg, Shelly Graf, Wynn Fricke, and Gabe Keller Flores
The Buddha says that any position one takes including being attached to not having any fixed views is “a thicket of views, a wilderness of views, a contortion of views, a writhing of views, a fetter of views. It is accompanied by suffering... and does not lead to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation; to calm, direct knowledge, full Awakening…”
In this daylong workshop we will reflect together how necessary and unavoidable it is to use identity to illuminate the social dynamics of our lives, and at the same time how easy it is to become attached and confused by identity, taking it to be more than what it is. The same is true in terms of how the mind relates to any views. There is no way to function in the world without views about this and that. The relevant question is how one can use views without the suffering that comes with attachment.
This recording contains the following parts - in order they are:
1 - Guided Meditation with emphasis on recognizing mind states and perceptions of oneself led by Shelly
2 - Introductions by teachers and participants: Name 1-5 identities that arise in our minds conscious or not, useful or not, led by Shelly
3 - Introduction to the workshop and the Buddha’s teachings on Views by Mark followed by Q&A
4 - Panel Presentation: Each teacher discusses skillful use of identity in their lives, 5-10 minutes each, followed by large group discussion facilitated by Gab

Mettapraxis im Alltag

Yuka Nakamura

Unser Alltagsleben ist nicht nur Ausdruck von Metta, welches wir in der Meditation kultiviert haben, sondern auch ein grosses Praxisfeld. Metta kann im Alltag kultiviert werden in Form von Grosszügigkeit, ethischem Verhalten, freundlicher Kommunikation, aber auch durch die Art, wie wir uns selbst und die Welt betrachten - nämlich mit einem Blick für das, was gut ist und mit der Einsicht in unsere Verbundenheit mit allen Wesen.
