Meditation: Breath Love In Breath Love Out | Monday Night Talk
24:18
|
|
Jack Kornfield
|
|
|
Meditation is an invitation in this moment’s practice to turn our attention to our body, heart and mind. Begin to pay attention to this mysterious human incarnation. Feel how your body is breathing itself… you don’t have to do anything. Add metta or lovingkindness to each breath. With each breath in, fill your body and being with lovingkindness for yourself. With each breath out, sense you are sending love out to the world.

Many of us discover we live partially in a dreamworld, cut off from our body and whole pieces of our life. Though we may sense our disconnection, we do not know exactly what is wrong.
James Joyce captured this dilemma when he wrote of one character, “Mr. Duffy lived a short distance from his body.” Enlightenment must be lived here and now through this very body. In this body and mind we can discover the cause of suffering and the end of suffering. For awakening to be an opening into freedom in this very life, the body must be its ground.

Cleaning Citta - New Moon Lunar Observance

Ajahn Sucitto

|

Purification of mind is not just spiritual jargon but necessary for happiness. No matter how gross or subtle, our speech, mental intentions and bodily actions affect us. Training and cleaning citta involves bringing uplifting qualities to mind and refraining from contracting to the unpleasant. This is how our kamma can begin to change.

Wie entsteht unser Ich-Gefühl? Ein wichtiger Mechanismus ist unsere Tendenz, uns ständig mit anderen zu vergleichen und zu messen. Der Dünkel (mana), der dabei entsteht, also das Gefühl besser, schlechter als oder gleich wie andere zu sein, ist die Quelle von viel Leiden. Der Vortrag behandelt verschiedene Formen von Dünkel aufgrund von Geburt, Wissen, Schönheit u.a. und zeigt Wege auf, wie wir damit praktizieren können.

The Choice is Ours:
Wise Relationship to Our Experience

James Baraz

These days have even more ups and downs than usual. For many it's both a time of sorrow and a time of joy. The mind can easily get caught in the difficulties when it's contracted by stress. But our Dharma practice shows us we have a choice how to wisely relate to our experience.

No Going Back
29:27
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
On a wilderness trail, at times the path is clear, at times not. We get lost, confused, and disheartened. Tested again and again, we gain strength, skill, and clarity, and we learn to see what we could not see at first. The spiritual way is not a trail under our feet but a daunting passage of the heart. Once our view is purified, we know there is no going back. Persevering with humility and trust, we navigate across the depths of our pain and brokenness. We break free.
