2016-12-31 Opening Our Hearts in Challenging Times 65:32
Hugh Byrne
As we bring loving awareness to our all that is arising in our bodies, hearts, and minds, there is a natural falling away of the illusion of separation - of ‘us’ and ‘them’ - and the cultivation of a wise and compassionate heart. With our hearts open to the suffering of the world, the Bodhisattva path of commitment to healing suffering, division and separation provides us with a vision of engaged action in the world in these difficult times.

2016-12-31 Die große Stille 47:10
Renate Seifarth
Nibbana, Befreiung ist das Ziel der Praxis. Was ist Nibbana? Buddha beschrieb das Ziel des Weges als das Aufgeben von Anhaften. Wenn Haften und Reaktivität erlöschen, wir innerlich loslassen und eintauchen in ein offenes Dasein, können wir eine tiefe Stille erleben. Oft übersehen wir die Stille, weil wir auf etwas anderes warten, einen Bigbang, etwas Außergewöhnliches. Nibbana können wir aber hier und jetzt erfahren, in den Momenten, in denen unsere Reaktivität erlischt und eine lebenige, offene Stille sich in uns ausbreitet, in der alles sein darf wie es ist.
