2025-03-17 Compassion Instruction and Guidance 51:33
Tempel Smith
We need to explore how to find and develop true compassion which is a beautiful quality of opening our hearts to the suffering inside and outside ourselves. While there is pain in suffering we can actually grow to have a sweet heart of compassion when we know how to breath open heartedly in contact with pain and suffering. When we find true compassion we don't need to shrink back from what is difficult but rather use the commonalities of difficulties to feel warm and expanded.

Ajahn Sucitto
Questions are précised. 00:36 Q1.

I use body practices but I am experiencing migraines. What can you suggest; 27:42 Q6 I live by myself after being asked to leave by house mates with no explanation.

2025-03-16 Dhammapraxis folgt zwei Strängen 45:50
Renate Seifarth
Dhammapraxis verfolgt zwei Stränge. Auf der einen Seite wollen wir lernen allen Erfahrungen gleichermaßen ohne Vorurteile, ohne Druck, ohne Reaktivität zu begegnen. Das wirkt erleichternd, wohltuend und löst unseren inneren Kampf auf. Auf der anderen Seite streben wir danach die Triebe, die als Habgier, Übelwollen, Verblendung, die als Fieber umschrieben werden, zu überwinden. Beide Stränge gilt es in unserer Praxis zu vereinen. Darauf weist insbesondere der vierte Bereich der Achtsamkeitsübung hin.

2025-03-15 The Process and Experience of "Streaming" 53:36
Tempel Smith
The Buddha wanted us to learn how to wakefully "stream", to realize we are forever and only a stream of mental and physical phenomena. We have no part internally or externally which is permanent, though in daily life we subjectively feel as if there is a lot of dependably permanent parts of life. With the deepening intimacy of mindfulness all there is is a flow and change. With patience we can learn to find liberation within the universal aspect of impermanence.
