2025-11-07 Praxis im Leben - dana - sila -bhavana 51:06
Renate Seifarth
Praxis im Alltag kann man gliedern in die drei Säulen, Großzügigkeit entfalten (dana), ethisch nicht verletzendes Verhalten auf allen Ebenen entwickeln (sila) und den Geist zu zähmen durch Sammlung, Achtsamkeit und Ausrichtung auf das Heilsame. Alle drei durchdringen einander. Tiefe Entwicklung ist ohne die anderen nicht möglich.

2025-11-06 Dhamma öffnet innere und äußere Räume 46:23
Renate Seifarth
Der mittlere Weg vermittelt zwischen Extremen. Dadurch entstehen Räumen, in denen wir uns bewegen können, flexibel reagieren können. Das Gleiche gilt für die Übung der Brahmavihara durch die wir unser Herz weit für alle Wesen öffnen. Achtsamkeit öffnet Raum indem sie allen Erfahrungen gleichermaßen ohne Werten begegnet und sein lässt. Weisheit kann dann unheilsames aus den Raum heraustragen und heilsames hineinbringen. In Räumen können wir uns entwickeln, verändern, wie können sie gestalten. Räume ermöglichen, dass wir uns weiten können, atmen können, frei fühlen können, wohin die Fesseln des Anhaftens uns limitieren und beschränken. In diesen Räumen können sich Freude, Kreativität, Spontanität entfalten.

2025-11-05 Die Quelle der Konzepte zum Versiegen bringen 42:41
Renate Seifarth
Im Mittelpunkt des Dhamma steht die Einsicht, dass alles bedingt entsteht. In der Honigkuchen Sutta wird aufgezeigt, wie das, was wir wahrnehmen, zu ausufernden Denken, die in Konzepten münden und aufgrund unseres Anhaftens zu üblen unheilsamen Zuständen führen, zu Streit, Zank, übler Rede etc. Am Anfang steht die reine Sinneserfahrung. Können wir uns auf sie zurück beziehen und beim Gesehenen, Gehörten etc. verbleiben, kommt es nicht zum ausufernden Denken. Ein weiterer Hinweis auf diesen Zusammenhang finden wir in der Bahiya Sutta. Hier wird der Zusammenhang zu Anatta aufgezeigt. Bleiben wir beim Wahrgenommenen stehen, legen wir keine Ich-Identität in die Erfahrung hinein.

Rechte Sammlung und rechte Achtsamkeit bilden den Abschluss des achtfachen Pfades. Es werden die unterschiedlichen Formen von Sammlung erklärt und wozu sie dient. Achtsamkeit ist nicht gleich Achtsamkeit. Es müssen bestimmte Faktoren anwesend sein, dass wir von Achtsamkeit im Sinne der buddhistischen Lehre sprechen können. Das wird anhand des Konzeptes von R.A.I.N. erklärt.

Wissensklarheit ist ein wichtiges Instrument dafür, das wir in der Vipassanapraxis entwickeln.

Für Buddha sind das wesentliche Aspekte unseres Dhammaweges.

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.

James Baraz
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 https://docs.google.com/document/d/16TnL2Zev-6r_mZPrgdSxSTaYLoyzdLOg3CnJ2U3D6C8/edit?tab=t.0 Here is a link to the video on Youtube that is over an hour long https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrjspK5fHiQ.

Donald Rothberg
After a brief general account of the three ways of liberating insight, we look at each of the three--insights into impermanence, dukkha, and not-self--with a longer treatment of insight into not-self. There is an emphasis especially on how we practice in order to come to these insights. We close with a passage from Ajahn Chah pointing to the unity of developing samadhi and cultivating insight. The talk is followed by discussion.

We briefly examine the five jhanic factors that point to how samadhi deepens. We also look at several of the main challenges that arise as we practice to develop samadhi.

Donald Rothberg
We continue the exploration from last week, beginning with Donald sharing a few of his experiences of being able to learn and practice when there have been differences of views and even conflicts. Then there is a review of some what we explored last week, including the importance in a functioning democracy of navigating differences of views, some of the factors making that harder in current times, and some of the practice supports for conversations when there are different views—both inner and outer (especially related to wise speech practice). We go further into exploring inner practices helpful when there are differences, including working with reactivity and difficult emotions, exploring views and options, and then the integrated inner and outer practice of cultivating empathy as a practice. The talk is followed by discussion, including several people sharing their own explorations with challenging conversations in the last week.

Donald Rothberg
How do we bring our practice to challenging conversations and discussions, including there are major differences in views and positions, whether on spiritual or social-politlcal or daily life matters? This is both a perennial practice question and a particularly important one in the current times. We begin our first of two explorations inviting the participants to explore both their most successful and their most difficult or painful discussions across differences, asking about the qualities present with both. We outline first some current social conditions that make discussions with differences more challenging, while acknowledging that such discussions are at the heart of a healthy democracy. Then we explore several supports for skillful conversations when there are differences, including shared agreements (among individuals or in a group or organization), wise speech practice, the vision of the "beloved community" or universal metta, and a commitment to align means and ends. The talk is followed by discussion.
