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.

2024-09-18 Meditation: Collecting, Unifying and Opening the Mind 25:05
Tara Brach
Collecting, unifying and opening the mind, we begin with a listening attention, noticing sounds that are here. Relaxing open and letting sounds wash through. With the same receptivity to sounds, listen to and feel the aliveness of the body. Listening to the breath as if you’re listening to the voice of a quiet loved one – really close in, tender attention – and including the background sounds. Not pushing away anything – a very open and relaxed, receptive attention.

2024-09-18 Waking up from Bias: A Conversation with Tara and Anurag (Anu) Gupta 55:15
Tara Brach
Given how our biases create separation and unfold into violence and suffering, this is a crucial domain for each of us to explore. In this interview, author and teacher Anurag Gupta offers his wise perspectives and invites Tara to share some of what she has learned in navigating this terrain. We explore how to come into a healing relationship with unhealthy thoughts; forgiving ourselves for bias (it’s impersonal); the inner freedom that arises from releasing bias; and how to awaken compassion and deep respect for those we have habitually dehumanized. The interview closes with Tara leading a brief reflection on undoing bias. Anu’s recent book is: Breaking Bias – Where Stereotypes and Prejudices Come From – and the Science-backed Method to Unravel Them – 2024. Also available on Anu’s website at: https://www.bemorewithanu.com.

2024-09-18 Cittānupassanā - Die Kontemplation des Herzgeistes 57:54
Yuka Nakamura
Cittānupassanā, die Kontemplation des Herzgeistes, ist ein wichtiger Teil der Vipassanā-Praxis und das dritte der vier Satipatthanas. Es geht um die Achtsamkeit auf den Zustand des Cittas, die uns erkennen lässt, welche Emotionen, Stimmungen und Kräfte jeweils präsent sind, und wie gefangen oder rein und gesammelt der Geist ist. Der Vortrag geht auf die Schwierigkeiten ein, die das Wahrnehmen von Emotionen erschweren können und zeigt praktische Wege auf, um mit diesen umzugehen.
