2022-02-22 Guided Equanimity with Nature (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 48:23
Tempel Smith
To find equanimity within us we can reflect on how we naturally feel when in nature. We rarely judge nature or get rigidly stuck on our preferences. We can see a young sapling, a mature tree, a much older tree, and a fallen tree. We can see rabbits and coyotes, insects and birds who eat them. We let nature have its changing seasons. From these reflections we can find the open heart of caring equanimity, just wishing for respectful contact with the truth. Can we bring this to the human realm?

2022-02-20 The 3rd and 4th Foundations of Mindfulness 63:46
Tempel Smith
While the 3rd and fourth foundations of mindfulness can be taught as their own separate topics, it can be very useful to look at the language and instruction given in both of them together. In the 3rd foundation we rest mindfully in all cognitive and emotional states as they arise and pass with the courage not to change them. In the 4th foundation of mindfulness we use this deeper intimacy from the 3rd foundation to act most skillfully in how we let go of suffering states and welcome wholesome states.

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.
