Abschließend geht es noch etwas ausführlicher um Achtsamkeit und die verschiedenen Funktionen, die sie einnehmen kann erläutert anhand der Gleichnisse für Achtsamkeit wie sie in den Sutten zu finden sind.

2019-04-19 Our True Inheritance: Guided Meditation 18:40
Ayya Medhanandi
We keep searching for happiness through travel, surfing the internet, shopping, and other worldly ways – but does it ever last? Supreme happiness arises right here in the heart. When we are present and patient beyond measure, we are stronger than we know. This groundbreaking inner seeing is free of devices – and free of vices. Pure, wise clarity and conscious awareness disentangle and unburden the mind of fear, obsession, all distractions, and at last, all suffering! This is the key to our self-made prison of beliefs, thoughts and opinions. We wake up to our true inheritance – the liberating Truth of what we are.

2019-04-18 Life Saving Sanctuary 25:31
Ayya Medhanandi
Our spiritual home is within the heart. Are we able to activate that awareness, and to treasure kindness and goodness in our daily actions and speech? Can wholesome states of mind prevail even when we face difficult or painful conditions? Moral purity is the harbinger for our waking up to the Truth within us. As we hasten to empty and weed out self-centredness, the poison arrow of craving is extracted. This is freedom – this is life-saving sanctuary.

2019-04-18 Life Saving Sanctuary 25:31
Ayya Medhanandi
Our spiritual home is within the heart. Are we able to know and bring to life that awareness, to treasure goodness in our daily acts and words of kindness as well as in wholesome states of mind - even where conditions are not so conducive to that? Let us empty ourselves of self-centredness to embody more and more the realization of the Truth within us. Let us guard the mind against the hindrances and pull out the poison arrow of craving. What freedom! We shall brighten the mind and lift up our hearts. This is life-saving sanctuary.

2019-04-18 Satipatthanapraxis - die fünf Hindernisse 50:09
Renate Seifarth
In der vierten Grundlage der Achtsamkeit, der Satipatthana Sutta erwähnt der Buddha fünf Geisteszustände, die er als Hindernisse in der Praxis sieht. Es handelt sich um Verlangen, Ablehnung, Mattheit, Rastlosigkeit und skeptischen Zweifel. Wie erkennen wir die Hindernisse und wie gehen wir mit ihnen um? Wobei diese Geisteszustände manchmal auch ganz stimmige oder sogar hilfreiche Regungen des Geistes sind.

2019-04-17 Meditation: Sea of Loving Presence 22:14
Tara Brach
In this meditation we begin with the image and felt sense of a smile to arouse an atmosphere of care, and allow that caring presence to fill our body and the entire field of awareness. We then open to the changing experience of breath, sensations, feelings, sound and thoughts. By resting in a wakeful and open heartspace, we can include all the passing waves with ease and tenderness.

2019-04-17 Forgiveness: Releasing Ourselves and Others from Aversive Blame – Part 1 51:52
Tara Brach
Rumi invites us to find the barriers we’ve erected against love, and a universal one is blame. These three talks are an invitation to relax those barriers, and to open our hearts to our inner life and to all beings. Part I focuses on chronic self-judgment; Part II on the places of deep self-condemnation, and Part III on where we have locked into anger, blame or hatred of others. Each includes guided reflections that can support us in directly awakening beyond the confining thoughts and feelings of blame.

2019-04-17 The Winds of Change 33:02
Ayya Medhanandi
We are on a mountain with a tremendous view. Let the breath speak to us. Stay present and watch, both the joy and the suffering. Investigate wisely and patiently like a parent whose child may object or run away. We try to see the breath clearly, with mindfulness that is like the sun upon a flower. Attentive and receptive, timeless, and still, we gently soften and mellow – just knowing, observing, and selflessly giving the mind back to pure presence. To trust the breath is to let go moment by moment, discovering its hidden truths – our true home here and now.

Renate Seifarth
Nach einer kurzen Erklärung wie und wo sich die Vipassana Meditation enwickelt hat folgt eine Erklärung, was Achtsamkeit ist und wie sie mit dem Körper praktiziert wird. Was sind die Merkmale von Achtsamkeit? Was ergibt sich daraus? Welche Einsichten werden möglich? Was verbirgt sich hinter der Täuschung?
