2025-10-31 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.

2025-10-30 Instructions from My Teachers 40:12
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.
