Renate Seifarth
In Anlehnung an die Lehrrede in der Mittleren Sammlung Nr. 4 wird erläutert, was dem Buddha Mut gab, in der Zurückgezogenheit an wilden Orten zu praktizieren. Im zweiten Teil der Lehrrede sucht der Buddha gezielt Orte auf, um Furcht und Schrecken in sich zu erleben und beschreibt wie er mit ihnen praktiziert und sie innerlich überwindet.

2025-03-13 Instructions and Guided Meditation: Choiceless Attention 59:12
Tempel Smith
There is a style of mindfulness practice where we lightly attending a central, familiar anchor of attention, such as the breath or scanning the body, and then intentionally choose to watch our minds move through its habits and its nature. In this style of mindfulness practice we can watch our attention move through our six sense doors of stimulation. With this style of meditation we can directly see the dharma nature of our mind. With this style of practice we have to be careful we not lose attentiveness, which can be a shadow side of choiceless attention. We want to keep learning and discovering the dharma, and not space out into half committed mindfulness.

2025-03-13 Don't Know Mind: Letting Go of Conclusions 50:09
James Baraz
It's hard to keep up with all the disorienting changes we are processing each day. We can easily get lost in confusion trying to make sense of it all. As a result, we can draw conclusions based in despair and fear, thinking that we know where this is heading. We can find strength from Korean Zen Master Seung Sahn teaching: "Keep Don't Know Mind." In this "Don't Know Mind" we let go of knowing how things will turn out. This frees us from the tyranny of our mind-created stories and allows us to see many possibilities.

2025-03-11 Umgang mit leidbringenden Trieben, Teil 1 45:15
Renate Seifarth
Grundlage ist MN2. Der Buddha versteht unter Trieben die Befleckungen Habgier, Hass und Täuschung (lobha, dosa, moha). Er erklärt, was sie nährt und was sie schwächt. Sie zu überwinden, ist das höchste Ziel und führt zu Nibbana. Teil 1 bespricht wie die Triebe durch Sehen (Einsicht in die Unpersönlichkeit und Realisierung des Stromeintritts), Sinnenkontrolle und durch weisen Gebrauch von Dingen realisiert werden kann.

Mark Nunberg
The weekly practice groups are designed to be a cornerstone for one's practice by providing ongoing instruction and teachings that will help illuminate the simple but challenging practice of mindfulness. The Buddha taught that mindfulness is the way to go beyond habits of distraction and grasping. To walk this path of wisdom and compassion, we need the support of a community that shares this intention. Each session includes a guided meditation, dharma talk, and discussion. Both experienced and beginning meditators are welcome.
