Bodhicitta - Der Geist des Erwachens (Schweizerdeutsch)
60:32
|
|
Yuka Nakamura
|
|
|
Bodhicitta - der Geist des Erwachens - ist die altruistische Motivation, für das Wohl aller Wesen zu praktizieren und zu erwachen. Diese wunderschöne Motivation befreit die Praxis von Selbstzentrierung und Instrumentalisierung und macht den Geist glücklich. Wir erkennen, dass wir einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Welt leisten können.

Practicing with Conflict: Foundations 1
66:41
|
|
Donald Rothberg
|
|
|
We begin by identifying the importance of developing skillful practice with differences and conflicts, whether inner conflicts or interpersonal conflicts or group or organizational conflicts or social or international conflicts. The claim is that the general principles and practices are fundamentally the same, even as the practices take different forms when there are more complexities.
We first give a definition of "conflict" as a difference of values, goals, or strategies, and as not necessarily involving hostility or aggression. This definition may help to go against the prevalence of negative conditioning about conflicts; we look at a number of reasons why bringing our practice to conflicts is commonly difficult. For the rest of the talk, we examine four more "inner" foundations of skillful practice with conflict: examining our own conditioning; working with the core relevant teachings of the Buddha, particularly about the nature of reactivity (as in the teaching of the Two Arrows); practicing with difficult emotions, body states, and thoughts; and bringing in the heart practices. After the talk, there is a discussion.

Leerheit - eine Annäherung (Schweizerdeutsch)
59:07
|
|
Yuka Nakamura
|
|
|
Leerheit ist einer der wichtigsten, aber auch tiefgründigsten Begriffe im Buddhismus, denn die Einsicht in die Leerheit aller Phänomene befreit den Geist von Anhaftung und Ablehnung. Einfach zu sehen ist die Leerheit sozialer Konventionen. Traditionell wird Leerheit im Sinne der Abhängigkeit von Teilen und der Abhängigkeit von Bedingungen kontempliert.Die Einsicht in die Leerheit zeigt uns einen Mittelweg zwischen den Extremen von Nihilismus und Ewigkeitsglaube auf.

Mudita - Die wertschätzende Freude (Schweizerdeutsch)
58:12
|
|
Yuka Nakamura
|
|
|
Mudita - das dritte der vier Brahmaviharas - wird als Mitfreude, wertschätzende oder selbstlose Freude bezeichnet. Sie ist die Herzensqualität, die das Gute, das Schöne, das Glück wertschätzt - in unserem eigenen Leben und bei anderen. Unser Leben ist reich an Anlässen für Mudita - seien es unsere Lebensumstände, die Schönheit der Natur, ethische, heilsame Handlungen und die Tatsache, dass wir dem Dharma begegnet sind und ihn praktizieren.

Die vier edlen Wahrheiten (Schweizerdeutsch)
57:55
|
|
Yuka Nakamura
|
|
|
Die vier edlen Wahrheiten sind die grundlegendste Lehre des Buddhas. Die Wahrheit von dukkha, das Entstehen von dukkha, das Ende von dukkha und der Weg, der zum Ende von dukkha führt. Sie zeigen uns unsere existentielle Situation und unser Potential.

What Is The Solution?
25:48
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
The Buddha said it simply. The awakened mind is the best solution. The mind-heart needs happiness to be well and to extend that well-being to others. So we tune inward, listen, meditate and resolve the dis-ease. We teach ourselves to be resilient, joyful and discerning rather than feeding on delusion and misery. When the loss is too great or madness reigns everywhere, we pour benevolent ingredients into awareness itself, patiently practising this way. Then we radiate true compassion, true forgiveness and true peace in all directions.

Citta und der Umgang mit Emotionen
60:13
|
|
Yuka Nakamura
|
|
|
Unser Herzgeist - Citta - und seine Zustände sind der Bereich des dritten Satipatthana. Wir üben uns darin, achtsam auf die ganze Welt der Emotionen, Stimmungen, Impulse, Gedanken zu sein. Wie gelingt dies, ohne sich in Emotionen zu verlieren und ohne sie zu verdrängen? Durch diese Praxis gelangen wir zur Einsicht, dass alle diese psychischen Zustände vergänglich und unpersönlich sind.

Upekkha - Abiding in Equanimity
37:17
|
|
Devon Hase
|
|
|
Teaching and guided meditation on the practice of equanimity.
From Ruth King:
”Equanimity can feel internally like a great mountain, with the mind solid and stable, undisturbed by the changing seasons. Or it can be like the ocean, with the mind vast, deep, and immeasurable, undisturbed by whatever swims, floats, or is housed in its waters. Equanimity can be like a strong fire — roaring, engulfing, and transmuting, undisturbed by whatever is thrown into it. Or like immense space — open, allowing, and receiving, undisturbed by the objects that arise and pass away”

Was brauchen wir um zu erwachen? Fünf wichtige Qualitäten sind die fünf spirituellen Fähigkeiten, die Indriyas: Vertrauen, Energie, Achtsamkeit, Sammlung und Weisheit. Sie alle entwickeln wir in der Praxis und lernen, sie in ein Gleichgewicht zu bringen.

Der zweite Pfeil. Die Kontemplation von Vedanā.
57:10
|
|
Yuka Nakamura
|
|
|
Vedana - die Gefühlstönung jeder Erfahrung als angenehm, unangenehm oder weder-noch, hat einen grossen Einfluss auf unser Verhalten und ist oft der Auslöser von Reaktivität. Im Vortrag werden diese Prozesse auf der Basis der Lehrrede über den Pfeil (SN 36.6) besprochen und es wird darauf eingegangen, wie wir mit Vedana praktizieren können.

55:33

Yuka Nakamura

Die vier Verkehrtheiten verdrehen und verzerren unsere Wahrnehmung der Welt und führen zu Leiden und Konflikten. Durch die Praxis von Satipatthana können wir sie auflösen und eine neue, befreiende Art der Wahrnehmung entdecken.

Participant questions are précised and read into the file. The reading does not communicate the emotion that was frequently beautifully present: 00:08 Q1: I started listening to your recordings maybe in 2020 and it just really resonates with me the way you explain the citta. I just have never heard it described in quite the way you do, it all makes sense. So just to say thank you for this. 01:11 Q2: Could you speak about the bowing - what you are doing and how to do it. 05:56 Q3: I don’t have words to express my heart but thanks. The silence this morning … there’s something about it … The process is so intriguing, so beautiful, so thank you all everybody. 06:22 Q4 I so appreciate your clarity. You have helped me to understand things that I touched into years ago. And I went down cul-de-sacs not understanding. I am so grateful to have come into contact with you. 08:32 Q5 It’s been a difficult year for me and with your teaching I feel like an instrument that has been retuned. I feel I can play now or sing. 08:49 Q6 I want to say I am very grateful to be here and it seems that I have probably done some wholesome actions along the way. Sometimes when I look at my life I look at the difficult things that have happened to me and now I see I need to also look at the beautiful things. 09:21 Q7 For the last 10 years I have been struggling with daily practice and now I see better that practice is not just for half an hour but it’s 24/7 and I have to do my best. 11:15 Q8 You’ve talked about practicing with the paramis. I don’t know what they are. Is there a text you could recommend on this? 11:59 Q9 I just wanted to thank you and everyone for the silent presence and especially to thank you for how you led us into silence. 12:17 Q10 I just want to add that the QiGong was really special and added a lot. Thank you for that. 12:35 Q11 Who is your teacher in QiGong?
