Ending Suffering
34:51
|
|
Hugh Byrne

The Buddha said, "I teach one thing, suffering and its end." His first and central teaching on the Four Noble Truths provides us with an understanding of suffering and its origins in craving/clinging; and how it’s possible to end suffering by abandoning clinging and the path to follow to end suffering in our lives—the Noble Eightfold Path. We can bring this teaching to bear on any moment or experience of our life and find freedom from suffering.

Vergänglichkeit - eine mächtige Lehrerin

Vergänglichkeit/Sterblichkeit ist ein zentrales Thema im Dharma. Sie ist eine existentielle Tatsache, die uns herausfordern kann und die wir oft vermeiden oder abwehren. In der Praxis wollen wir die vergängliche Natur aller bedingten Phänomene kontemplieren und Einsicht darin gewinnen. Diese Einsicht lässt uns die Kostbarkeit der Dinge erkennen und liebevoll mit anderen Menschen umgehen. Darüber hinaus spornt sie uns zur Dharmapraxis an, erzeugt spirituelle Dringlichkeit und führt den Geist zur Befreiung von Anhaftung.

Dhamma talk on the Dvayatānupassanāsutta from Sutta Nipāta 3.12 (Contemplating Pairs). Detailed analysis of this sutta of contrasting pairs with correlation to dependent origination; of which one pair aspect leads to the origination of suffering, and the other pair aspect leads to the cessation of suffering.

Satipatthana: Kontemplation des Citta
59:03

Yuka Nakamura

In der Kontemplation von Citta geht es um das achtsame Gewahrsein der geistigen Zustände, der Psyche, besonders um das Erkennen, ob unheilsame oder heilsame Zustände im Geist sind. Die eigenen Geisteszustände achtsam wahrzunehmen bedeutet, sie weder zu unterdrücken noch von ihnen überschwemmt zu werden, sondern sie im Gewahrsein zu halten und zu erforschen. Das Akronym RAIN stellt ein nützliches Schema für den achtsamen und weisen Umgang mit den Geisteszuständen dar.

Satipatthana: Kontemplation der Vedanas - Der zweite Pfeil
61:01

|
Yuka Nakamura

|
|
Vedanā - die Gefühlstönung jeder Erfahrung - hat einen großen Einfluss auf unsere Entscheidungen und Verhaltensweisen und spielt eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Entstehung von Leiden. Aus diesem Grund ist es wichtig, sich ihrer gewahr zu werden. Ausgehend von der Salla-Sutta, der Lehrrede über den Pfeil, erläutert der Vortrag, wie sich der Geist in Reaktivität verfängt und so weitere Schichten des Leidens hinzufügt. Durch das Verstehen der unbeständigen und bedingten Natur der Vedanās entwickelt der Geist Gleichmut und erlangt Befreiung von diesen reaktiven Mustern.

"I Teach Dukkha and the End of Dukkha"--2
63:43

Donald Rothberg

This is the second of three talks in successive weeks on the "dukkha and the end of dukkha," at the center of the Buddha's teachings. Last week was an introduction and focused on individual practice; this week gives a review and then focuses on relational practice, with others. In the review, we once again point to the multiple meanings of "dukkha" in the Buddha's discourses, all but one of which don't help us to make sense of the "end of dukkha.". Rather, only an interpretation of dukkha coming out of the teachings of the Two Arrows and Dependent Origination, in which dukkha is understood as reactivity, as grasping or pushing away habitually in a variety of ways, can help us understand what "the end of dukkha" means (see the attached PDF file on the sequence from contact to grasping in the teaching of Dependent Origination). We then look at a number of ways of practicing with reactivity, and open to exploring the nature of reactivity in relational contexts, followed by pointing to a number of ways of practicing with reactivity in our relationships. The talk is followed by discussion.

Guided Meditation Exploring Reactivity and Feeling-Tone

After brief basic meditation instructions related to stabilizing attention with an anchor, and then being present to the anchor or whatever else is predominant, there is an 8-minute or so period of settling and stabilizing. Then there is guidance to notice and be mindful of any kinds of reactivity (manifesting in the body, emotions, and thoughts), if in the workable range. After another 10 minutes or, there is guidance to notice a moderate or greater level of the pleasant or unpleasant (as long as it is workable), staying with the sense of pleasant or unpleasant, noticing any tendencies to reactivity (wanting and grasping, or not wanting and pushing away, at the levels of body, emotions, and/or thoughts).
