Belonging to Each Other – Part 3 of 3
50:20
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
Mother Teresa writes that if we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. These three talks explore the causes for severed belonging, and pathways to deepening the felt sense of belonging to our own body, heart and spirit, and to all beings. Together the talks offer a natural and powerful progression of lovingkindness or metta reflections, that when practiced regularly can open us to the peace, joy and freedom of trusting our mutual belonging.

Die Entwicklung eines grundlegenden Wohlwollens und Mitgefühls gilt als zweiter Flügel in der Praxis. Die Metta-Meditation ist ein Weg diese Haltung zu entwickeln. Es wird auf die Bedeutung hingewiesen und warum die Praxis eine innere Haltung in uns verankern kann

A Gift from the Sea – Unbroken Paua Shell and Consummate Trust

Ayya Medhanandi

There are many skills and restorative qualities needed for us to grow in our spiritual work. Let us not underestimate the essential ingredient of mettā. This universal quality of love will unfailingly nurture the unfolding of the Noble Eightfold Path. It enhances our energy to persevere with courage, agility and joy so that the journey is sustainable and our trust becomes unwavering. We reach out more to others and support them in the good, while rejoicing that as we accomplish the Way, we draw close to the Buddha.

I Will Not Be Angry – How Ajahn Gunhah Won the Hearts of Outlaws
12:33
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
Laying down weaponry, giving up hostility, we can abandon negativity and establish sanctuary within us. We hear the inspirational tale of how Ajahn Gunhah transformed his kidnappers in northern Thailand. Through his embodiment of mettā they became his disciples, just as the Buddha had done with his adversaries 2600 years ago. Such is the power of pure mettā - good will or loving kindness. It is our true protection from harm. We too can rescue ourselves by developing it with great inner vigilance, wisdom, compassion and courage.

Patience
49:56
|

Kate Munding

|
Patience in the Buddhist tradition is seen as a quality that becomes polished as we awaken our minds and hearts. The cultivation of patience becomes an art form; fluidly brought into the moment, imbued with flexibility, mindfulness, and Metta (loving-kindness). We need this quality to help us meet our selves, our neighbors, and the world with openness. Patience can help us be more grounded and present when we face that which makes us angry, fearful, or confused.
