2024-12-14 Gleichmut - Stabil wie ein Berg 57:21
Gleichmut ist eines von vier Brahmaviharas und einer der sieben Erwachensfaktoren. Er ist die innere Stabilität und Unerschütterlichkeit, die sich von äusseren Bedingungen nicht aus dem Gleichgewicht bringen lässt, und er ist die Fähigkeit, selbst in stürmischen Zeiten inneren Frieden zu finden. Gleichmut hilft uns, soziale Beziehungen harmonischer zu gestalten und Situationen, die wir nicht kontrollieren können, zu akzeptieren.
