2025-10-04 Praxis freudvoll im Leben fortsetzen 35:47
Renate Seifarth
Nach dem Retreat gilt es die Praxis fortzusetzen. Das besteht im wesentlichen darin, "Böses" zu unterlassen, "Gutes" zu tun und Herz und Geist von Gier, Hass und Unwissenheit zu läutern. Dies wollen wir freudvoll tun. Dazu können wir das Glück kontemplieren einen Weg zum inneren Frieden begegnet zu sein, ihn als etwas Wertvolles erkannt zu haben und uns auf den Weg gemacht haben. Unterstützen tun uns weiter Gleichgesinnte auf dem Weg. Sich mit ihnen anfreunden, hilft ungemein, wobei wir nicht zu viel von ihnen erwarten sollten.

2025-10-03 Geduld und dulden lernen - khanti 43:38
Renate Seifarth
In der Sutta über die Bambusakrobaten überlegen die beiden Artisten, wie sie unbeschadet ihre Kunststücke zeigen können. Sie sind gegensätzlicher Ansicht. Achte ich besser auch mich oder achte ich auf den anderen? Der erläutert der Buddha anschließend, warum beide Recht haben. Achten auf sich selbst bedeutet Achtsamkeit zu kultivieren. Dadurch achtet man auch auf den anderen. Guduld, Gewaltlosigkeit, Liebe und Teilnahme zu entwickeln, bedeutet auf den anderen zu blicken, wovon man selbst ebenfalls profitiert. Geduld ist ein wesentliches Element. Geduld öffnet Raum und Zeit für Entwicklung. Zu Geduld gehört aber auch etwas Schwieriges dulden zu können. Dadurch wird Reaktivität verhindert.

2025-10-02 Mitgefühl leben 38:40
Renate Seifarth
Wer achtet auf wen? In einer Sutta diskutieren Bambusakrobaten darüber wie sie vorgehen sollen, um unbeschadet ihre Kunststücke zu zeigen. Für den Buddha ist es eine Gelegenheit darzulegen, dass sowohl das achten auf sich selbst wie das achten auf den anderen wichtig ist. Ersteres wird durch die Praxis der vier Grundlagen der Achtsamkeit erreicht, während das Achten auf den anderen in der Praxis von Geduld, Gewaltlosigkeit, Liebe und Teilnahme besteht.

2025-10-01 Die acht weltlichen Winde 41:43
Renate Seifarth
Dukkha ist Teil der Welt. Dazu gehören die acht weltlichen Winde, Gewinn und Verlust, Ehre und Verleumdung, Lob und Tadel, Freude und Leid. Sie wehen um alle, aber Personen, die in rechter Weise die Wechselhaftigkeit aller Phänomene erkannt haben, werden von den Winden nicht erschüttert.

2025-10-01 Effort means using energy wisely 46:54
Ajahn Sucitto
The indriya work together – if one's faith is placed with wisdom and mindfulness sustains the focus on the wholesome, concentration occurs and one's energy is replenished. Effort should be wisely applied to break the pull of negative obsessions, The sense of time is to be uprooted, for example in walking meditation.

2025-09-30 Mitgefühl 51:08
Renate Seifarth
Mitgefühl ist die Antwort des offenen Herzens auf Leiden. Hierin finden wir und geben wir Trost. Im Vortrag geht es um die Bedeutung von Mitgefühl und aus welchen Bedingungen heraus sie entsteht. Als Praxis entwickeln wir Mitgefühl in alle Richtungen, gegenüber allen Wesen. Dabei überwinden wir viele Hindernisse in uns wie Ärger und Angst.

2025-09-30 Indriya allies for citta's release 50:50
Ajahn Sucitto
The five indriya are factors that are accessible and take one's attention from the sensory world of circumstance to the citta -heart or mind. The initial indriya is faith, a quality that serves as a wellspring off support through the ups and downs of life.

2025-09-29 The Four Great Efforts: PACE Yourself on the Path 58:31
Marjolein Janssen
Right Effort, the 6th step on the Noble Eightfold Path, is not about striving or straining, it is about learning to guide the mind with wisdom and care. In this talk, we reflect on the Four Great Efforts: 1) Preventing the arising of unwholesome states, 2) Abandoning those that have already arisen, 3) Cultivating wholesome qualities, 4) Extending and nourishing wholesome states that are present. These four ways of applying effort, remembered with the acronym PACE.

2025-09-25 You Are Loving Awareness 45:21
James Baraz
Seeing sacredness, not only around us, but focusing inside the one who is perceiving. This mind/body (YOU) that is interacting with the world around it. I use Ram Dass's practice of seeing beyond this mind/body by abiding in the perspective "I Am Loving Awareness". This is where the devotional and non-dual meet. To aid in this exploration James shares some powerful cuts from the album Ram Dass, a collaboration of Ram Dass's voice and teachings with background music by East Forest, who will be offering a hybrid concert "Echoes of Ram Dass" at Spirit Rock October 19, 2025.

2025-09-21 Die Gefahr von Begierde erkennen 40:30
Renate Seifarth
Vergänglichkeit ist das Wesen aller Dinge. Daraus ergibt sich, dass Freude und Glück aufgrund verschiedenster Erfahrungen zu Leiden führen. Weil wir das nicht erkennen, folgen wir Begierde und Gier. In einer Lehrrede führt der Buddha auf, dass wenn wir die Gefahr von Begierde nach Sinnesbefriedigung, nach Form, nach dem Glück der Vertiefungen erkennen, wir uns von ihnen abwenden. Die Begierde nach Sinnesbefriedigung ist für ihn die Grundlage für Streit, Zwietracht und Krieg. Die Begierde nach Form die Grundlage für Raub, die Begierde nach dem Glück der Jhana die Ursache, dass wir keine wirkliche Befreiung finden. Dukkha ist. Mitgefühl ist die einzige tröstende Antwort darauf.

Mark Nunberg
We live in times when fear, greed and anxiety provoke our hearts & minds daily. Often, we relate to these triggers in ways that only amplify agitation and conflict in and around us. The Buddha’s teachings and practices help us uncover the stabilizing, tenderizing, and liberating force of wisdom and awareness. Wisdom and awareness is the necessary antidote for troubled hearts in troubled times.
