Noble Rescue
24:25
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi

|

How can we rescue ourselves from the obstacles to our happiness? We must not disregard the power of awareness in the present moment to vanquish suffering. For in this very moment is everything we need to know. All moments, whether tainted or blessed, are conditioned by their predecessor. Without care and discernment, vigilance and integrity, we could easily fall into states of decline. Ill-will begets enmity, while joy begets ease and serenity, and each moment is the mother of the next. So too, stepping into the joys of life as it unfolds, we live by the best qualities we can reap. One bare insight into truth and we know what we truly are. Then we open the gates to the Deathless.

Like an Instrument with Sarah Marie Hopf

How might you let Life play you like an instrument? In this talk James shares the evening with Sarah-Marie Hopf, a good friend, dedicated practitioner, coach and meditation teacher who shares about her journey of progressively deepening trust in the dharma and our True Nature and opening to what wants to flow effortlessly from the mystery into form. Becoming an unexpected singer-songwriter, she shares the origin story of her first album “Modern Mantras” which was inspired by songs that came through her spontaneously during a month long Spirit Rock retreat.

Citta als Absicht und Gestaltungskraft unseres Lebens.
60:47
|
|
Yuka Nakamura
|
|
|
Citta - unser Herzgeist - hat neben seiner empfindsamen, rezeptiven Seite auch eine aktive, gestaltende Seite. Jede Absicht, die wir formen und in Gedanken, Worten oder Taten umsetzen, hat eine Wirkung und trägt zu unserem Glück oder Leiden bei. Von entscheidender Bedeutung ist, dass wir lernen, zwischen heilsamen und unheilsamen Absichten zu unterscheiden und bewusst die heilsamen Absichten und Geisteszustände zu kultivieren. Geistesschulung bedeutet, dass wir unheilsame Gewohnheitstendenzen nicht weiter füttern und stattdessen heilsame Tendenzen stärken. Dadurch formen wir uns selbst und unser Leben.

Leave Your Shoes at the Door
18:04
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
Let faith be our foundation for a mindfulness that never tires of examining how we are within us. We may eat well, dress well, and look good but what is the real state of the mind? Day by day, finding safety in virtue, aware of the right qualities that direct, protect, and teach us to root out unworthy habits, let us harvest the profound joy and goodness of this life. It’s not how much we work or gain but how well we honour the noble Dhamma as servants of selflessness and human kindness.
