Geduld und dulden lernen - khanti
43:38
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
In der Sutta über die Bambusakrobaten überlegen die beiden Artisten, wie sie unbeschadet ihre Kunststücke zeigen können. Sie sind gegensätzlicher Ansicht. Achte ich besser auch mich oder achte ich auf den anderen? Der erläutert der Buddha anschließend, warum beide Recht haben. Achten auf sich selbst bedeutet Achtsamkeit zu kultivieren. Dadurch achtet man auch auf den anderen. Guduld, Gewaltlosigkeit, Liebe und Teilnahme zu entwickeln, bedeutet auf den anderen zu blicken, wovon man selbst ebenfalls profitiert. Geduld ist ein wesentliches Element. Geduld öffnet Raum und Zeit für Entwicklung. Zu Geduld gehört aber auch etwas Schwieriges dulden zu können. Dadurch wird Reaktivität verhindert.

Wer achtet auf wen? In einer Sutta diskutieren Bambusakrobaten darüber wie sie vorgehen sollen, um unbeschadet ihre Kunststücke zu zeigen. Für den Buddha ist es eine Gelegenheit darzulegen, dass sowohl das achten auf sich selbst wie das achten auf den anderen wichtig ist. Ersteres wird durch die Praxis der vier Grundlagen der Achtsamkeit erreicht, während das Achten auf den anderen in der Praxis von Geduld, Gewaltlosigkeit, Liebe und Teilnahme besteht.

Singer ,Songwriter, Dharma Teacher, Betsy Rose shares some songs, poems and reflections on navigating our relationship to time. How many of us are experiencing time as a vanishing “commodity?” The speed and amount of digital inputs (email, activist alerts, webinars, headlines and more..) threaten to overwhelm us. Feeling pressured, squeezed, and overloaded can be a familiar experience. This talk explores practices and choices that can help restore a sense of spaciousness and wise view to the mysterious construct we call “time.”

Die acht weltlichen Winde

Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
Dukkha ist Teil der Welt. Dazu gehören die acht weltlichen Winde, Gewinn und Verlust, Ehre und Verleumdung, Lob und Tadel, Freude und Leid. Sie wehen um alle, aber Personen, die in rechter Weise die Wechselhaftigkeit aller Phänomene erkannt haben, werden von den Winden nicht erschüttert.

Effort means using energy wisely
46:54

Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
The indriya work together – if one's faith is placed with wisdom and mindfulness sustains the focus on the wholesome, concentration occurs and one's energy is replenished. Effort should be wisely applied to break the pull of negative obsessions, The sense of time is to be uprooted, for example in walking meditation.

Mitgefühl ist die Antwort des offenen Herzens auf Leiden. Hierin finden wir und geben wir Trost. Im Vortrag geht es um die Bedeutung von Mitgefühl und aus welchen Bedingungen heraus sie entsteht. Als Praxis entwickeln wir Mitgefühl in alle Richtungen, gegenüber allen Wesen. Dabei überwinden wir viele Hindernisse in uns wie Ärger und Angst.

You Are Loving Awareness
45:21

James Baraz

|

Seeing sacredness, not only around us, but focusing inside the one who is perceiving. This mind/body (YOU) that is interacting with the world around it. I use Ram Dass's practice of seeing beyond this mind/body by abiding in the perspective "I Am Loving Awareness". This is where the devotional and non-dual meet.
To aid in this exploration James shares some powerful cuts from the album Ram Dass, a collaboration of Ram Dass's voice and teachings with background music by East Forest, who will be offering a hybrid concert "Echoes of Ram Dass" at Spirit Rock October 19, 2025.

Die Gefahr von Begierde erkennen
40:30
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
Vergänglichkeit ist das Wesen aller Dinge. Daraus ergibt sich, dass Freude und Glück aufgrund verschiedenster Erfahrungen zu Leiden führen. Weil wir das nicht erkennen, folgen wir Begierde und Gier. In einer Lehrrede führt der Buddha auf, dass wenn wir die Gefahr von Begierde nach Sinnesbefriedigung, nach Form, nach dem Glück der Vertiefungen erkennen, wir uns von ihnen abwenden. Die Begierde nach Sinnesbefriedigung ist für ihn die Grundlage für Streit, Zwietracht und Krieg. Die Begierde nach Form die Grundlage für Raub, die Begierde nach dem Glück der Jhana die Ursache, dass wir keine wirkliche Befreiung finden. Dukkha ist. Mitgefühl ist die einzige tröstende Antwort darauf.

Awakening from Ignorance: Going beyond the Main Habitual Constructions of Experience 2
63:38
|
|
Donald Rothberg
|
|
|
We begin with a review of how the Buddha saw "ignorance" of the basic nature of things (not so much of facts or information) as the basic problem of human life; we are as if asleep, caught in dream-like living, and need to "wake up." For the Buddha, we are especially ignorant about impermanence, dukkha (or reactivity--grabbing at the pleasant and pushing away the unpleasant or painful and believing that this is the way to happiness), the nature of the self, and nirvana or awakening.
We bring in a brief report of the experience of attending the previous week's EcoDharma retreat at Spirit Rock, emphasizing especially the pervasiveness of a sense of separation--from the earth, other living beings, and each other--and the connection of such sense of separation with our systemic problems. Indigenous teachers at the retreat particularly emphasized living without such separation.
The second part of the talk, we focus on the teaching of not-self (anatta), and ways of practicing that deepens our understanding of not-self, as well as how we hold this understanding of pervasive human ignorance with compassion and kindness, including in our responses to the manifestations of ignorance.
The talk is followed by discussion.

Obstacles on the Path: Sense Desire & Aversion (Retreat at Spirit Rock)

Talk Synopsis: Clearing the Poisons – Greed and Aversion
This talk explores how the Buddha’s teachings on dukkha and the three unwholesome roots—greed, aversion, and delusion—relate to the common mental obstacles that arise in meditation and daily life. Framed through the lens of the five hindrances, the talk looks closely at how these energies obscure attention and contribute to suffering.
The talk includes a practical discussion of temperament—how some of us tend more toward craving, others toward irritation or confusion—and how understanding these patterns can support clarity and compassion. Rather than trying to get rid of these states, the emphasis is on recognizing and relating to them with awareness, in line with the Buddha’s instruction to know dukkha and its causes.
Grounded in the Four Noble Truths, the talk points toward a path of practice that works with what's difficult—not as a problem to fix, but as a doorway to insight and freedom.

As the old myths of our civilization crumble, in their place, fear, division, and the architecture of fascism are rapidly rising. As the Jungian analyst Edward Edinger warned, when a central myth breaks down, meaning drains away, and primal, unprocessed forces rush in.
How then do we understand this immense historic moment? We can take courage from the Buddha, who also lived in a world burning with greed, hatred, and delusion. He didn’t always succeed. Yet he still stood before armies, spoke truth, and acted with compassion. Even when outcomes are uncertain, we too are called, at this time, to step forward with clarity, compassion, and steadfastness.

How then do we understand this immense historic moment? We can take courage from the Buddha, who responded to a world burning from greed, hatred, and delusion with profound wisdom. Even when outcomes are uncertain, we too are called, at this time, to step forward with clarity, compassion, and steadfastness.
