2020-11-07 Unconditioned Supports the Conditioned 41:54
Ajahn Sucitto
The unconditioned gives us a place to step back from experience, to meet the conditioned world with sensitivity and equanimity. We access qualities of faith, energy, mindfulness and wisdom to accept and meet exactly what’s happening right now.

2020-11-07 Die transformierende Kraft des Mitgefühls 62:28
Yuka Nakamura
Mitgefühl ist eine zentrale Qualität, die wir entwickeln wollen. Es ist nicht nur die angemessenste Antwort auf das Leiden in uns selbst und in anderen, sondern es hat auch die Macht, den Herzgeist zu transformieren. Durch Mitgefühl können wir schmerzhafte Erfahrungen besser halten und geschickter mit ihnen umgehen. Mitgefühl lässt auch innere Klarheit und Raum entstehen, in dem sich tiefe, befreiende Weisheit entfalten kann.

2020-11-07 Guided Meditation – Faith as the Basis of Meditation 15:58
Ajahn Sucitto
We enter meditation with a sense of faith, that there’s something beneficial that can be derived just by coming into the present moment. Witnessing, aware of, not in it, not rejecting it – a firmness of presence builds up. The initiation is faith, the consummation is wisdom.

Die fünf Hemmnisse sind geistige Zustände, die in der Meditationspraxis häufig auftreten und sie erschweren können. Es ist sehr wichtig, sie zu erkennen und achtsam mit ihnen umzugehen. Statt uns von ihnen behindern zu lassen, wollen wir sie in die Praxis integrieren und mit ihnen arbeiten. Der Vortrag zeigt Wege des Umgangs mit ihnen.

2020-11-04 Practicing after Election Day 1:10:00
Donald Rothberg
The morning after Election Day in the U.S., with the result in the Presidential election still uncertain, we explore a number of ways of practicing--in both a more inner and a more outer way. Participants, who include several from outside the U.S., share some of what they are experiencing, and we explore several ways of working with challenging emotions, thoughts, and body-states. We emphasize the importance of compassion for self and others, empathy--including across lines of difference, working with one's own views, participation in a community, and connection with traditions and approaches--such as that of the bodhisattva--that give one resources for the "long haul." Eve Decker brings in a vital further resource--song--three times during the session, with "Sending You Light," "We Who Believe in Freedom," and the dedication of merit from the Chinese Pure Land tradition.
