Insight practice through a systematic and cultural lens: talk and experiential practice
48:51
|
|
Erin Selover

Insight Meditation, also known as Vipassana Meditation, is the 2,600-year-old practice of cultivating wise presence by bringing a caring, curious, and discerning attention to what is happening moment-to-moment. Conditioned to go after what we want and avoid what we don’t want, we often act from habit and reactivity instead of our deeper held values and beliefs. With mindful presence, we can learn to cut through habitual reactivity and access innate states of well-being, creativity, courage, and liberating personal and collective insight.

Lifetime Vow
41:17
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
To vow for life: not to compromise our faith, our virtue, or our goodness - even in a moment of terror - is a powerful spiritual ally. Not cowering nor retaliating even in a hopeless-feeling-moment, we learn to stay present with compassion and kindness. As long as we remember to keep the practice alive within, we will have the stamina to grow in generosity, equanimity, and wisdom. So, at all times, make good-will the mantra of your heart.

Satipatthanapraxis - Unwissenheit durchdringen
45:46
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
Am Ende geht es in der Satipatthana Sutta um das erkennen der Unwissenheit, Täuschung bzw. das unschuldige Missverständnis in unserer Wahrnehmungsverarbeitung. Wir verarbeiten unser persönliches Erleben als etwas Dauerhaftes, Befriedigendes und Persönliches, das autark und beständig wirklich ist. Das Missverständnis führt zu Verstrickung und Leiden. Das Durchdringen der Täuschung zu Verbundenheit, Wertschätzung und Frieden. Im ersten Schritt gilt es die Täuschung zu bemerken, im zweiten Erfahrungen zuzulassen, die das Missverständnis offen legen.

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.

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.

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.

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.
