2020-11-11 Practicing with Views 1:10:56
Donald Rothberg
Practicing with one's views or opinions or beliefs is central both to traditional Buddhist practice and to what is needed in a society polarized by views; it is also central to relationships and skillful communication, especially in difficult or conflictual situations. We establish in this session a foundation for such practice, by identifying both the core teachings on views by the Buddha and three basic ways of practicing with views. We explore the core teachings on views especially by looking at five key passages from the Buddha's discourses, getting a sense of how attachment to views can be problematic. We also identify three ways of practicing with views: (1) becoming mindful of one's views, (2) inquiring into one's views when one notices an opposition with the views of others, and (3) listening and developing empathy in relationship to the views of others. After the talk, we discuss together many questions and points related to these teachings and practices.

Using the sensations of body and breath as an anchor for awareness in the Vipassana practice. Using the felt sense of the breath and body to help the body to settle, soften, and stabilize. Thus, lending those same qualities to the heart and mind.

Ajahn Sucitto
The unconditioned gives us a place to step back from experience, to meet the conditioned world with sensitivity and equanimity. We access qualities of faith, energy, mindfulness and wisdom to accept and meet exactly what’s happening right now.

2020-11-07 Die transformierende Kraft des Mitgefühls 62:28
Yuka Nakamura
Mitgefühl ist eine zentrale Qualität, die wir entwickeln wollen. Es ist nicht nur die angemessenste Antwort auf das Leiden in uns selbst und in anderen, sondern es hat auch die Macht, den Herzgeist zu transformieren. Durch Mitgefühl können wir schmerzhafte Erfahrungen besser halten und geschickter mit ihnen umgehen. Mitgefühl lässt auch innere Klarheit und Raum entstehen, in dem sich tiefe, befreiende Weisheit entfalten kann.
