Shave Your Heart
13:57
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
Can we resolutely walk the moral high road and discover Dhamma treasures in the fertile ground of the heart? Good-will or heroic metta, will serve as our anti-inflammatory, quelling the fires of greed, anger, fear, and blame along with every other uncharitable mind state. ‘Shaving’ the heart with kindness and compassion, we ascend the mountain until there is no more mountain and no ‘one’ to climb it.

Guided mettā meditation. Dhamma Talk: The ghost is not in the machine. The question of robots and the soul. The Buddha's views on the soul versus others at the time e.g. Brahmanism's atta and Jainism's jiva. Understanding things through relations and processes rather than substances or a soul. Self-awareness and purpose in robots, AI.

00:33 Can you please explain the significance of the phrase “the four pairs, the eight kinds of noble beings”; 03:11 The suttas talk of a body witness. What does this mean?; 05:10 Are consciousness, awareness and citta the same thing?; 15:13 Can you speak more about the aggregates please – rupa, vedena, sanya, sankara, vinnyana? 24:03 Could you explain context and purpose in relation to sampajañña / clear comprehension? 29:52 What is meant by “mindfulness preceding the object”. Does this precede the knowing of a specific phenomenon? 32:12 Why does the mind often feel it needs to be comfortable in order to settle? Do we need to relinquish this need? 37:51 Sometimes I get the feel g the breath doesn’t want me following it; 41:22 Some teachers suggest experiencing the breath as a concept rather than a physical sensation. Did the Buddha emphasize one over another? 46:45 I have a lot of fear arising and I send it metta-karuna but samadhi seems to make it stronger; 50:27 Pease speak about the hindrance of doubt, particularly self-doubt; 55:25 Can you speak about compassion and emptiness of self.

Guided mettā meditation, Dhamma talk on dependent origination
1:21:42
|
|
Bhante Sujato
|
|
|
Guided mettā meditation to develop positive emotions, directed towards self and all beings. Dhamma talk on dependent origination in simple terms. Dependent origination answers the question: How does rebirth happen without a soul? We are neither completely fixed or completely fluid in how we are - we are conditioned; a continuity that connects past, present, and future. The Buddha’s great insight was that everything is conditioned. Daily life, high states of meditation, rebirth, and all kinds of experiences all follow the same processes. Ignorance and craving are the drivers of these processes.

Vertrauen und Vergebung
43:50
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
Beim Üben von Metta mit der Kategorie der Freunde, welche Rolle spielt Vertrauen, was weckt Vertrauen und wie können wir Vertrauen fordern. Gleichzeitig ist es fast normal, dass Vertrauen erschüttert werden kann. Durch Vergebung können wir es wieder herstellen. Eine Reflexion dazu, kann das unterstützen.

Das Wesen von Samadhi und die Kraft der Dankbarkeit
43:25
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
Die Metta Praxis zielen auf die Entwicklung von tiefer Konzentration, Samadhi, und die Entwicklung einer wohlwollenden Grundhaltung. Es geht darum, wie dieses samadhi entsteht, wie es sich äußert, was die Faktoren sind.
Da gerade mit der Wohltäter-Kategorie geübt wird, geht es am Ende um Dankbarkeit, die gerade hier auftauchen kann und zugleich eine sehr heilsame Wirkung auf uns hat.

Some of you may have your own way of practicing metta/lovingkindess meditation. Others may want to listen and follow along—but it’s not a rigid practice. Do whatever most naturally opens the heart. For some people, the recitation of words—which we’ll do—may be helpful. For others, it’s more helpful to simply sit in a field of love and radiate kindness without a lot of words, specific language, or intention. Whatever floats your heart—follow that into goodness.
