2022-10-28 Muditā - Wertschätzende Freude 62:31
Yuka Nakamura
Muditā ist das dritte der vier Brahmavihāras, der himmlischen Verweilzustände. Sie ist die Fähigkeit, sich über das, was heilsam und gut ist zu freuen und es wertzuschätzen - bei sich selbst und bei anderen. Muditā hilft dem Geist, angesichts von Leiden und Herausforderungen im Gleichgewicht zu bleiben. Welche Faktoren stehen der Freude im Weg und wie können wir sie bewusst kultivieren?

2022-10-26 The Importance of Cultivating Stillness 45:29
Tuere Sala
Stillness is an ever present phenomenon and yet it seems so elusive in urban (also referred to as householder or lay) practice. Within the context of contemporary society, cultivating stillness can seem self-indulgent. Our demanding can sometimes make it harder to recognize it, but stillness is part of the unconditional and thus, a necessary aspect of awakening. This talk will explore how urban practitioners can learn to cultivate stillness in the midst of movement and chaos.

2022-10-26 Meditation: At Home in the Moment 20:33
Tara Brach
This meditation cultivates a gentle, wakeful presence in the body, with the “smile down” and then guides us to resting in a home base of sensations or the breath. We then open to whatever arises with a clear and inclusive attention, saying “Yes” to the life that is here.

2022-10-26 Cultivating Inner Strength – A Conversation with Tara Brach and Lori Deschene 59:43
Tara Brach
What gives us the inner strength to meet life’s challenges with resilience, heart and wisdom? Drawing on themes in Lori’s new book, “The Tiny Buddha’s Inner Strength Journal,” Tara and Lori explore the mindset that is conducive to growth, working with negative beliefs, ways of transforming fear, and what it means to have inner strength in facing loss and death. We also talk about what can most empower and energize us in responding to a world struggling with multiple crises. NOTE: Find Lori Deschene’s “The Tiny Buddha’s Inner Strength Journal” here: tinybuddha.com/strong. Lori also created several free companion resources, available at tinybuddha.com/strength-tools.

2022-10-25 The Happiness of Release 56:12
Mark Nunberg
From the beginning of our practice on, the Buddha teaches that this path has the one taste of freedom. How can we train the heart to become more and more attuned to this flavor of release or letting go? It is the recognition of this trustworthy, onward-leading pleasure that guides the heart along the spiritual path.
