Grenzenlose Güte - ihre Bedeutung und Entwicklung
48:29
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
Es wird auf den Zusammenhang von Weisheit und Mitgefühl hingewiesen. Die Grundlage von Mitgefühl ist die tiefe Güte des menschlichen Herzens, Metta. Güte verringert unser aller Leid. Sie stellt keine Bedingungen und kann nicht zu Enttäuschung führen. Sie ist eine unendliche Kraft in unserem Herzen, in Angesicht von Leid wandelt sie sich in Mitgefühl, wird Wohlergehen wahrgenommen, entsteht Mitfreude. Die Ausdehnung unseres Blick führt uns zu der Motivation von Bodhicitta.

Worin liegt meine Zuflucht?
43:46
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
Bewusst oder unbewusst haben wir alle eine innere Zuflucht. Daran orientieren wir uns insbesondere, wenn wir in Not geraten. Bisher sind unsere Strategien geprägt von Unwissenheit, Gier und Ablehnung. Aber schenkt uns diese Zuflucht Frieden? Eine neue Zuflucht bietet Buddha, Dhamma und Sangha. Was können wir genauer mit diesen Begriffen verbinden und uns so eine neue Zuflucht schaffen, die tröstet, Schutz gibt und Mut verleiht.

Meditation: Awake and Alive

Tara Brach

|
|
This guided practice includes a body scan, and an opening to the awareness that includes all of life. From that wakeful openness we offer a relaxed attentiveness to the changing flow, and close with loving kindness to ourselves and our world.
…calling on the presence of your heart and offering whatever blessing or wish you’d like to offer to yourself… whatever prayer of care. Then in that heart-space including other beings in this world. Holding the world in your heart and sensing your prayer of care for all beings. ~ Tara (from the meditation)

What is our Refuge in the Midst of Crisis? A Conversation with Tara and Stephen Fulder
55:23
|
|
Tara Brach,
Stephen Fulder
|
|
|
Stephen Fulder is a senior Buddhist teacher, author and peace activist who lives and teaches in Israel. In this conversation Stephen shares about his experience during the unfolding violence in the Middle East, and what he and his community are doing to tend to the huge trauma people are feeling.
He talks about being with intense fear and emotions, and how to talk with those who have very different views. And he shares about the past decades of the deep and powerful work he’s been involved in, bringing groups of Israeli and Palestinian people together to find their shared hearts and humanity. Together Stephen and Tara look at what our true refuge is in the midst of a world in crisis and pathways that can carry us to that precious space of equanimity, compassion and love.

Practicing with Conflict: Foundations 2
68:46
|
|
Donald Rothberg
|
|
|
We start by reviewing last week's initial account of the foundations for practicing with differences and conflicts, first giving a definition of "conflict" as a difference of values, goals, or strategies, and not necessarily involving hostility or aggression. We also look again briefly at the multiple reasons why bringing our practice to conflicts is often difficult, and then review the more "inner" four foundations of skillful practice with conflict. We then bring in three further foundations which are more "outer": developing guidelines and agreements, especially in groups or organizations, but also with individuals; clarifying a vision of a "win-win" or "both-and" approach to conflicts that meet the underlying interests or needs of all concerned; and developing empathy. After the talk, there is a discussion.

Yuka Nakamura
|
|
|
Bodhicitta - der Geist des Erwachens - ist die altruistische Motivation, für das Wohl aller Wesen zu praktizieren und zu erwachen. Diese wunderschöne Motivation befreit die Praxis von Selbstzentrierung und Instrumentalisierung und macht den Geist glücklich. Wir erkennen, dass wir einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Welt leisten können.

Practicing with Conflict: Foundations 1
66:41
|
|
Donald Rothberg
|
|
|
We begin by identifying the importance of developing skillful practice with differences and conflicts, whether inner conflicts or interpersonal conflicts or group or organizational conflicts or social or international conflicts. The claim is that the general principles and practices are fundamentally the same, even as the practices take different forms when there are more complexities.
We first give a definition of "conflict" as a difference of values, goals, or strategies, and as not necessarily involving hostility or aggression. This definition may help to go against the prevalence of negative conditioning about conflicts; we look at a number of reasons why bringing our practice to conflicts is commonly difficult. For the rest of the talk, we examine four more "inner" foundations of skillful practice with conflict: examining our own conditioning; working with the core relevant teachings of the Buddha, particularly about the nature of reactivity (as in the teaching of the Two Arrows); practicing with difficult emotions, body states, and thoughts; and bringing in the heart practices. After the talk, there is a discussion.

Leerheit - eine Annäherung (Schweizerdeutsch)
59:07
|
|
Yuka Nakamura
|
|
|
Leerheit ist einer der wichtigsten, aber auch tiefgründigsten Begriffe im Buddhismus, denn die Einsicht in die Leerheit aller Phänomene befreit den Geist von Anhaftung und Ablehnung. Einfach zu sehen ist die Leerheit sozialer Konventionen. Traditionell wird Leerheit im Sinne der Abhängigkeit von Teilen und der Abhängigkeit von Bedingungen kontempliert.Die Einsicht in die Leerheit zeigt uns einen Mittelweg zwischen den Extremen von Nihilismus und Ewigkeitsglaube auf.

Mudita - Die wertschätzende Freude (Schweizerdeutsch)
58:12
|
|
Yuka Nakamura
|
|
|
Mudita - das dritte der vier Brahmaviharas - wird als Mitfreude, wertschätzende oder selbstlose Freude bezeichnet. Sie ist die Herzensqualität, die das Gute, das Schöne, das Glück wertschätzt - in unserem eigenen Leben und bei anderen. Unser Leben ist reich an Anlässen für Mudita - seien es unsere Lebensumstände, die Schönheit der Natur, ethische, heilsame Handlungen und die Tatsache, dass wir dem Dharma begegnet sind und ihn praktizieren.

Die vier edlen Wahrheiten sind die grundlegendste Lehre des Buddhas. Die Wahrheit von dukkha, das Entstehen von dukkha, das Ende von dukkha und der Weg, der zum Ende von dukkha führt. Sie zeigen uns unsere existentielle Situation und unser Potential.

What Is The Solution?
25:48
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
The Buddha said it simply. The awakened mind is the best solution. The mind-heart needs happiness to be well and to extend that well-being to others. So we tune inward, listen, meditate and resolve the dis-ease. We teach ourselves to be resilient, joyful and discerning rather than feeding on delusion and misery. When the loss is too great or madness reigns everywhere, we pour benevolent ingredients into awareness itself, patiently practising this way. Then we radiate true compassion, true forgiveness and true peace in all directions.
