Power Of Balance
35:19
|
|
Shaila Catherine
|
|
|
In this talk, Shaila Catherine suggests that everyone is responsible for their own state of balance. She explores several practical areas for cultivating a balanced approach to practice including: aligning the body posture with the force of gravity, recognizing how mindfulness brings a balanced relationship to sensory experiences, and cultivating a non-reactive attitude toward both pleasant and unpleasant feelings. We learn to quickly restore our emotional balance whenever we find ourselves entangled in stories or personal dramas. We refine our ability to apply balanced effort in the way that we engage with meditation. And we continuously refine the powerful balance in the meditating mind by perceiving how the five spiritual faculties and the seven awakening factors are affecting our attention and understanding.

Mettapraxis im Alltag
54:43
|
|
Yuka Nakamura
|
|
|
Unser Alltagsleben ist nicht nur Ausdruck von Metta, welches wir in der Meditation kultiviert haben, sondern auch ein grosses Praxisfeld. Metta kann im Alltag kultiviert werden in Form von Grosszügigkeit, ethischem Verhalten, freundlicher Kommunikation, aber auch durch die Art, wie wir uns selbst und die Welt betrachten - nämlich mit einem Blick für das, was gut ist und mit der Einsicht in unsere Verbundenheit mit allen Wesen.

The Skillful and Unskillful Use of Identities - A Workshop
2:09:54
|
|
Mark Nunberg
|
|
|
Led by Mark Nunberg, Shelly Graf, Wynn Fricke, and Gabe Keller Flores
The Buddha says that any position one takes including being attached to not having any fixed views is “a thicket of views, a wilderness of views, a contortion of views, a writhing of views, a fetter of views. It is accompanied by suffering... and does not lead to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation; to calm, direct knowledge, full Awakening…”
In this daylong workshop we will reflect together how necessary and unavoidable it is to use identity to illuminate the social dynamics of our lives, and at the same time how easy it is to become attached and confused by identity, taking it to be more than what it is. The same is true in terms of how the mind relates to any views. There is no way to function in the world without views about this and that. The relevant question is how one can use views without the suffering that comes with attachment.
This recording contains the following parts - in order they are:
1 - Guided Meditation with emphasis on recognizing mind states and perceptions of oneself led by Shelly
2 - Introductions by teachers and participants: Name 1-5 identities that arise in our minds conscious or not, useful or not, led by Shelly
3 - Introduction to the workshop and the Buddha’s teachings on Views by Mark followed by Q&A
4 - Panel Presentation: Each teacher discusses skillful use of identity in their lives, 5-10 minutes each, followed by large group discussion facilitated by Gab

Achtfache Pfad

|
|
Der achtfache Pfad ist zweierlei: eine Anleitung wie wir uns weiter entwickeln inmitten unseres alltäglichen Lebens und eine Illustration wie wir uns neu ausrichten in Einklang mit unseren Erkenntnissen in der Meditation.

Denken als Objekt der Achtsamkeit
41:47
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
In Vipassana Meditation schließen wir das Denken ein in unser Erforschen. Wir ergründen das Wesen des Denkens und erkennen das Entstehen und Vergehen der Gedanken. Gedanken sind nötig für unser Sein in dieser Welt. Problematisch ist die Identifikation mit unseren Gedanken, die zudem eine ganz zentrale Rolle in unserem Selbstverständnis spielen. Ein Resultat hierbei ist das Entstehen von Hochmut wie Minderwertigkeit. In der Praxis wollen wir uns aus der Identifikation mit den Gedanken befreien.

RAIN on Blame: A Guided Meditation
14:38
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
When we are stuck in blame or resentment we are in a trance – the other person becomes an unreal bad other, and our own sense of being contracts into a victimized self, an angry self, a righteous self. Using the acronym RAIN, this practice guides us in bringing mindfulness and compassion to our inner experience, and then to viewing the other with a more open and clear heart. By awakening from the trance of blame, we are able to respond with intelligence and care to the unmet needs that underlie all conflict.
