Dharma Talk

Meditation instructions.

When strong experiences such as fear, grief, shame or desire become predominate in our awareness, we can meet them with mindfulness and interest. Asking “what is happening?” rather than “why is it happening?”. With mindfulness we can feel emotions as ripples of sensations within the body that arise, peak and fade when we dont feed the story in the mind. At times we need to fortify mindfulness by turning to other parts of the body such as feet or hands to allow for more space around intense sensations. This helps us not get caught in aversive tightening in response to the emotion.

Dhamma as nature and learning to align ourself with what is true. Taking refuge and our path to liberation.

Anhaften raubt uns den Frieden. Wir haften in viererlei Hinsicht an, nämlich an Sinneswahrnehmungen, an Ansichten und Meinungen, an Ritualen und Gepflogenheiten, an unserem Selbstbild.

Describing the Relationship Between Metta, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy, and Equanimity.

We often need something to be special to catch our attention. It takes practice to be mindful of ordinary experiences like the breath, a sound or a sensation. When we practice looking at reality through the lens of Sacred Perception, however, everything becomes holy and worthy of our attention. This talk explores Sacred Perception as a practice that makes even the mundane come alive.
