(Aloka Earth Room) Short Reflection & Guided Meditation on 'The Holonic Shift' by Joanna Macy | Earthworm Practice for the Anthropocene III | Online Wednesday-Mornings
(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) Final reflections of the first six weeks of the three-month retreat. It explores how refuge becomes internal rather than conditional, using the Buddha's final instruction, the Bhaddiya narrative, and the lion's roar to illuminate belonging, continuity of practice, and the transmission of Dhamma at transition points: for those staying for part 2 and those re-entering the world.
(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) 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.
(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We begin with settling and developing more concentration for about 10-12 minutes. Then we shift to mindfulness practice. In the last third of the session, there are instructions for exploring one's own views and opinions, including in relationship to others (connected with the talk).

(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) The Third Noble Truth is about the cessation of dukkha (unsatisfactoriness) and the realization of Nibbāna (awakening). Through inspiring stories of modern-day figures like Mae Chee Kaew and Dipa Ma, we see that awakening is possible in this very life.

(Waldhaus am Laacher See) Nach dem Retreat gilt es die Praxis fortzusetzen. Das besteht im wesentlichen darin, "Böses" zu unterlassen, "Gutes" zu tun und Herz und Geist von Gier, Hass und Unwissenheit zu läutern. Dies wollen wir freudvoll tun. Dazu können wir das Glück kontemplieren einen Weg zum inneren Frieden begegnet zu sein, ihn als etwas Wertvolles erkannt zu haben und uns auf den Weg gemacht haben. Unterstützen tun uns weiter Gleichgesinnte auf dem Weg. Sich mit ihnen anfreunden, hilft ungemein, wobei wir nicht zu viel von ihnen erwarten sollten.

(Cittaviveka) Through a steady inclining towards release from personal habits, the root clinging of 'me' is exposed. Training challenges this, and with dispassionate perseverance, there can be a surprising release from the 'me bag'.
