In MN28 führt der Buddha uns Schritt für Schritt hin zum Erkennen des bedingten Entstehens, dem Kern seiner Lehre. Er beginnt bei den vier Wahrheiten, zerlegt die Persönlichkeit in die fünf Greifhaufen, khandha, greift die vier Elemente, Erde, Wasser, Feuer, Wind auf bis er beim bedingten Entstehen von Erfahrung landet, bei der ein entsprechendes Objekt, Organ und Bewusstsein zusammentreffen.

Wise Effort: The Middle Way, Effort to Begin and PACE
39:27
|
|
Gullu Singh
|
|
|
A practical exploration of wise effort as a balanced, sustainable path: “not too tight and not too loose.” Gullu looks at the effort it takes to begin practice (and the conditions that can support and inspire that effort, including nibbidā and saṁvega), as well as how to cultivate the mind over time through the Four Wise Efforts, offered here with the acronym PACE:
P — Preventing unwholesome states from arising
A — Abandoning unwholesome states that have arisen
C — Cultivating wholesome states
E — Extending (sustaining) wholesome states

Die Wurzel aller Dinge

Renate Seifarth

In MN1 führt der Buddha all unsere Reaktionen von Verlangen, Abneigung und Täuschung zurück zu den Erfahrungen, wo alles beginnt, den Erfahrungen des Körpers und über die Sinne. Die Erfahrungen über den Körper wiederum reduziert er auf die Erfahrung der vier großen Elemente Erd-, Feuer-, Wasser- und Windelement. Von den reinen Erfahrungen aus konstruieren wir durch ausufernde Gedanken und haften an den so geschaffenen Illusionen, mehr oder minder weit weg von der Wirklichkeit.

Finding Refuge: Safety, Support, and the Ground of Awakening
30:00
|
|
Oren Jay Sofer
|
|
|
In times of uncertainty and constant stimulation, the heart needs a reliable place to rest. This talk explores the Buddhist teaching of refuge as the foundation for practice and transformation. We begin by reflecting on where we habitually seek safety, and why many forms of refuge prove unstable. From there, the talk introduces the deeper meaning of taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha—as sources of inner steadiness, guidance, and connection. Refuge is not escape, but a way of coming home to what can truly support awakening and compassionate engagement. (This teaching comes from the Clear Dharma Sangha, an online community exploring how to live the Dharma in everyday life.)

Practicing SHINE
51:05
|
|
Amma Thanasanti
|
|
|
Amma Thanasanti began meditating in 1979 under the guidance of Jack Engler, Ajahn Chah, and Dipa Ma. She spent 28 years as a Buddhist nun, including 20 years in Ajahn Chah monasteries, and has taught internationally since 1996.
She is the founder of Awakening Truth (awakeningtruth.org) and developed the Integrated Meditation Program (IMP), an attachment-repair pathway for meditators. Her work integrates classical Buddhist training with contemporary psychology and trauma-informed practice, helping practitioners discern where meditation supports awakening—and where relational wounds and trauma require direct healing. This integration allows the stillness, clarity, and goodness from meditation to become more natural and sustainable.
SHINE is a practice Amma developed as a counterpart to the RAIN method by Michelle McDonald and Tara Brach. While RAIN helps us meet difficulty, SHINE supports cultivating positive states—training the nervous system to recognize, sustain, and deepen what's good.The acronym stands for Sense, Hold, Inquire, Nourish, and Enhance. Integrated into the broader Integrated Meditation Program (IMP), SHINE addresses a gap many practitioners experience: we become skilled at observing suffering but less adept at stabilizing ease, joy, and goodness when they arise.
In this session, we'll practice SHINE together and explore how cultivating these states helps stillness, clarity, and goodness become more natural and sustainable in daily life.
