Meditation: Relaxed and Alert
21:16
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
| This meditation begins with a period of relaxing and collecting our attention with intentional long deep breathing. We then deepen embodied presence, and widen to the awareness that includes sounds, sensations, feelings, breath, and all experience. When the mind drifts from this open, awake awareness, we gently return, re-relaxing and resting in an easeful, alert presence. Recorded at Tara’s Wednesday night class, the meditation includes chanting of OM’s and ends with a sense of melting into community. |

Belonging to Each Other – Part 1
51:08
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
| Mother Teresa writes that if we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. These two talks explore the causes for severed belonging, and pathways to deepening the felt sense of belonging to our own body, heart and spirit, and to all beings. Together the talks offer a natural and powerful progression of lovingkindness or metta reflections, that when practiced regularly can open us to the peace, joy and freedom of trusting our mutual belonging. |

Beginning Again--Listening for Our Deeper Aspirations
63:22
|
|
Donald Rothberg
|
|
| On the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, when it is said that the veils of ignorance are lessened, we explore ways to “begin again,” both in the moment and more generally,--to re-align our lives, guided also by Buddhist resources and by poets, sages, and activists. Through guided reflections, we examine (1) ways in which we are “off the mark,” in which we need re-alignment; (2) what we wish to let go of and/or forgive; and (3) our deeper aspirations for the next period of time. |

Brahmavihara Teil 3: Gleichmut entwickeln
45:50
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
| Gleichmut ist die letzte der Brahmavihara. Der Vortrag betrachtet wie sie im Rahmen der Brahmavihara entwickelt wird, in welchem Zusammenhang sie mit den anderen drei Brahmavihara steht und welche Bedeutung Gleichmut in unserem Leben hat.
Andererseits ist Gleichmut auch das Ergebnis von Weisheit, die wir durch Einsichten in der Vipassana-Praxis gewinnen. Und so schließt sich der Kreis der beiden Methoden. |

Putting it All Together: Integration of the Eightfold Path
41:06
|
|
Ajahn Karunadhammo
|
|
| This is a lightly guided, mostly silent meditation from the Friday night practice offered by Ajahn Karunadhammo.
“Many of us approach Buddhist practice believing that the point is to learn mindfulness meditation. Yet there's so much more to understand and practice. The eight factors, or the eightfold path, allow for a complete and fully integrated program, leading toward liberation.” |

Holding Grief Through Connection
56:18
|
|
James Baraz
|
|
| Whether the climate crisis, some other social issue or personal loss, sharing our pain by connecting with another helps us hold and process our grief. By opening the heart we can transform our feeling of isolation into one of shared humanity. This talk ends with a guided experiential dyad exercise adapting Joanna Macy’s "Learning to See Each Other" meditation from Coming Back to Life. |

Spiritual Hope: Trusting Your Awakening Heart
47:55
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
| Our beliefs and understandings about reality directly impact our moment to moment experience of living. If we believe we will never change, that blocks the transformation that brings happiness and freedom. If we trust our spiritual unfolding and are open to possibility, that guides our attention and behaviors in ways that evolve us. This talk explores how to nurture mature, spiritual hope—hope that is sourced in trusting our intrinsic goodness, and our capacity for deepening love and wisdom. |

Handeln und Sprechen als Praxis
40:22
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
| Kurze Impulse für unsere Praxis im Alltag. Im Zentrum des Dhammaweges stehen Wahrheit und innerer wie äußerer Frieden als Ziel. Diese leiten uns auch in unserem Handeln und Sprechen. Wichtig ist die Motivation aus der heraus wir agieren. Sie drückt sich aus in großzügigen Geben, Teilen und Helfen. Im Sprechen orietieren wir uns an unserer Wahrheit und suchen eine wertschätzende, verbindende Kommunikation. |
