Der Dhammaweg, Teil I
48:04

Renate Seifarth

Zunächst werden die vier Wahrheiten dargestellt, die uns vier Aufgaben präsentieren. Hierbei geht es vor allem um dukkha, einer komplexen vielschichtigen Gegebenheit in unserem Leben, die für den Buddha der Mittelpunkt seiner Lehre bildet. Es gilt dukkha zu überwinden. Buddha beschreibt dazu einen achtfachen Pfad, den wir Schritt für Schritt gehen können. Der erste Bereich ist rechte Sichtweise. Dazu gehören all unsere Konzepte, Vorstellungen, Ansichten, Meinungen über die Welt und über einen Weg zu Glück.

Transition From Settling to Seeing (Retreat at Spirit Rock)
1:49:25

Tere Abdala-Romano

This talk explores the gentle transition from shamatha (calm abiding through concentration) to vipassanā (insight), inviting us to cultivate stillness not through effort but through nourishment, (as The Budha did) curiosity, and kindness. It reminds us that the mind’s obstacles—dullness and agitation—are gateways to balance and presence. From this grounded calm, clarity naturally arises, revealing the truth of impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and non-self. In resting with things as they are, stillness ripens into seeing, and seeing reveals freedom.

Instructions from My Teachers

We all have teachers who've inspired us to see life in a new way. Who have been your inspirations?
What have you learned from them? I thought I'd share some ways that instructions from two of my
teachers--Ram Dass and HWL Poonja (Papaji)-- have shaped how I see the world and how I practice.
The talk includes a recording of a significant dialogue from 1990 with Poonjaji that reconnected me
with my joy.
Here is a link to the dialogue of the Poonjaji satsang where James asked the question
