Q&A differentiation and discernment, tension, goodwill
46:30
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Questions are paraphrased: 1. Given the stressfulness of differentiation, is choosing what kind of meditation to practice stressful? 2. (11:30) Is the undifferentiated, the signlessness – the same as emptiness? 3. (24:02) Could you repeat what you were saying about relaxing tense muscles 4. (37:25) What does it mean to imbue the heart with loving kindness, “likewise the second, likewise the third and likewise the fourth”? What is the all encompassing world…?

Maturation of the liberated mind
49:16
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Reading from AN9.3, Ajahn Sucitto reviews the 5 things that lead to maturation of mind to becoming completely liberated. Receiving supportive company runs throughout. It’s not something we do but something we associate with. It involves not the active aspect of energy but the receptive aspect, so we can absorb the skilful, give it time to settle and ripen so wisdom can arise.

Instruction - conscious attention
20:15
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Attention is a constant thing, so if you don’t place it, it will find its own place, and it will generally place itself into suffering – what could be, should be, things we can’t quite manage. Place it somewhere useful, starting with the body. This is the foundation. [10:03 instructions on breathing and breath energy] With good clear breath energy, mind can establish mindfulness. Careful attention prepares the ground so there’s something suitable to be mindful of. [20:10 begin silent sitting meditation]

Initial Instruction - devotion, posture, breathing
56:05
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Rather than getting somewhere or accumulating anything, Dhamma practice is a matter of bringing forth from ourselves in terms of presence, faith and attention. Attention is a matter of the heart, and the heart is very much supported through the body. Mindfulness of body is the frame; with suitable posture the process of breathing can flow through naturally. [40:02 Begin standing instructions]

Intro Sasanarakkha: Make your practice extensive, rather than intensive
62:12
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
The essence of Buddhist practice is dealing with dukkha, unsatisfactoriness. While on retreat, observing precepts, making determinations and simplicity support our cultivation. So there’s always something you can be cultivating throughout the day. Meditation is just a support to Dhamma, Dhamma is the main thing. Cover it all. [40:36 Guided meditation] Settling practices, settling into space. Begins with feeling ground beneath, upright axis of spine, using wide visual field as a support.

Warum bin ich auf dem Weg?

Renate Seifarth

Hier geht es um die Motivation und Ausrichtung in unserer Praxis. Ausgangspunkt ist die Geschichte, die den Buddha veranlasste, Haus und Familie zu verlassen und nach einer inneren Suche aufzubrechen. Die existentielle Dimension der Praxis wird deutlich, die grundsätzliche Fragen an uns selbst stellt.

Hindernisse und Gegenkräfte
63:31
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
Ablenkendes Verlangen, Ablehnung, Müdigkeit, Starrheit, Unruhe und skeptischer Zweifel an uns selbst oder der Praxis können uns in der Praxis lähmen. Wie erkennen wir sie, wie gehen wir mit ihnen um und welche Gegenkräfte können wir entwickeln, die uns unterstützen.
