Eine Abhandlung über die sieben Erleuchtungsfaktoren wie sie in der Satipatthana Sutta genannt werden: Achtsamkeit, Energie, Freude Untersuchen sowie von Ruhe, Sammlung und Gleichmut. Wie drücken sich diese Geisteszustände aus, was müssen wir über sie wissen, wie gehen wir mit ihnen um. Abschließend geht es noch etwas ausführlicher um Achtsamkeit und die verschiedenen Funktionen, die sie einnehmen kann erläutert anhand der Gleichnisse für Achtsamkeit wie sie in den Sutten zu finden sind.

We keep searching for happiness through travel, surfing the internet, shopping, and other worldly ways – but does it ever last? Supreme happiness arises right here in the heart. When we are present and patient beyond measure, we are stronger than we know. This groundbreaking inner seeing is free of devices – and free of vices. Pure, wise clarity and conscious awareness disentangle and unburden the mind of fear, obsession, all distractions, and at last, all suffering! This is the key to our self-made prison of beliefs, thoughts and opinions. We wake up to our true inheritance – the liberating Truth of what we are.

Working with a sticky person.

This week I'll be offering a q&a style talk so I can find out what you are exploring within your practice and what topics interest you. It will be interactive and connecting.

Our spiritual home is within the heart. Are we able to activate that awareness, and to treasure kindness and goodness in our daily actions and speech? Can wholesome states of mind prevail even when we face difficult or painful conditions? Moral purity is the harbinger for our waking up to the Truth within us. As we hasten to empty and weed out self-centredness, the poison arrow of craving is extracted. This is freedom – this is life-saving sanctuary.
