2022-11-07 Q and A after talk - Q&A - Empowering Faith Energizing Practice, Wat Marp Chan 15:22
Ajahn Achalo
04:02 Q1 - How can one truly love oneself? Many times even though we do an entire project we blame ourselves for some mistake and focus on the negative things. 10:25 Q2 - I'd like to know if faith is all about being positive? What about the things that we really can't do? Is accepting that an aspect of faith as well? Ajahn mentions 1) the Anatta-lakkhana Sutta: The Discourse on the Not-self Characteristic. It is available here: https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn22/sn22.059.than.html 2) Adittapariyaya Sutta: The Fire Sermon, available here: https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn35/sn35.028.than.html

2022-11-05 Die vier edlen Wahrheiten 59:22
Yuka Nakamura
Die Lehre über die vier edlen Wahrheiten stellt die Essenz der gesamten buddhistischen Lehren dar. Die vier edlen Wahrheiten weisen auf unsere existentielle Situation als Menschen hin, mit Leiden und Unzulänglichkeit konfrontiert zu sein, und auf unser Potential, dieses Leiden zu überwinden. Sie laden uns ein, uns für unsere eigene Erfahrung zu öffnen - für Schmerz, Leid, Konflikte etc. - und Einsicht in die Ursachen und Bedingungen von Leiden zu gewinnen. Und sie zeigen einen gangbaren Pfad auf, der zum Ende von Leiden führt - zum Erwachen.

2022-11-04 Indriya - Die fünf spirituellen Fähigkeiten 61:44
Yuka Nakamura
Um den Weg des Erwachens zu gehen, braucht es die fünf spirituellen Fähigkeiten - die Indriyas: Vertrauen, Energie, Achtsamkeit, Sammlung und Weisheit. Sie ermöglichen es, den Geist absichtsvoll und bewusst auszurichten und zu steuern. Auch wenn sie eine Art Sequenz darstellen - ein minimales Vertrauen ist Voraussetzung, um sich überhaupt auf die Praxis einzulassen - müssen letztlich alle Fähigkeiten in einer ausgewogenen Weise entwickelt werden. Diese Liste und das achtsame Gewahrsein helfen uns zu erkennen, wie stark die verschiedenen Fähigkeiten in uns entwickelt sind und entsprechend darauf zu achten, dass wir die noch weniger entwickelten Fähigkeiten stärken.
