2022-02-19 Responsive to a Fluid Self 1:22:38
Nathan Glyde
We can habitually and instinctively feel like our self, and apparent things of the world have the nature of fixity and stability. Yet, when we look deeper, what appeared independent and inherently there, seems to melt into a kind of fluidity. From this more sensitive meeting, can we find an appropriate response to how we actually feel in the current moment? As if we can go beneath the frozen surface of the idea of who and what is into the dependently originating and fading fluidity.

Yuka Nakamura
Eine Sichtweise des Selbst, die von einem unabhängig existierenden Selbst ausgeht, führt zu viel Leiden, individuell und kollektiv. Wir können aufwachen zu einer Sichtweise der Verbundenheit und Bezogenheit und erkennen, wie wir durch unsere Gedanken, Worte und Taten an der Ganzheit des Lebens teilhaben und mitgestalten.

2022-02-18 Die Khandhas und Nicht-Selbst 62:14
Yuka Nakamura
Obwohl wir normalerweise von der Existenz eines festen, unabhängigen Selbst ausgehen, lässt sich ein solches nicht finden. Diese Illusion entsteht durch das Anhaften an den fünf Khandhas (Daseinsgruppen), die Identifikation mit dem Körper, den Gefühlstönungen, der Wahrnehmung, den Willensregungen und dem Bewusstsein als 'ich', 'mein' oder 'mein Selbst'. Indem wir erkennen, wie das Selbst geschaffen wird, werden wir frei von einer fixierten Identität.

2022-02-17 Einführung in die Leerheit 60:49
Yuka Nakamura
Einsicht in die Leerheit aller Phänomene zu entwickeln ist zentral in der Dharmapraxis. Sie bedeutet, die Täuschung einer festen, unabhängigen Selbstexistenz zu durchschauen. Im Vortrag werden Beispiele von Leerheit besprochen, die aufzeigen, dass damit die Abhängigkeit von Bedingungen, von Teilen oder vom wahrnehmenden Geist gemeint ist. Die Einsicht ermöglicht einen mittleren Weg zwischen Nihilismus und Eternalismus und eine freiere, spielerischere Haltung zum Leben.
