One of the amazing things about reading the lives in the teachings of the desert fathers is that we begin to see that we are part of the body of Christ and among the many who have sought to make the spiritual journey over the centuries. We aren't Christians in isolation. This means not only that we hold and believe the same truths about the faith that have been revealed to us but also that we seek to embrace in all of its fullness the life and the love of that Christ has made possible for us. We struggle with the same wounds, similar dispositions and mindsets that affect the way that we view the world around us and the way that we practice the faith. The acknowledgment of this communion and the desire to breathe the same air and to travel the same path is a source of great strength for us. Not only are we guided by the teachings of Christ and the gift of His Spirit but also by the many Saints and Martyrs who embody this reality in their lives. One of the great fruits of this is Hope. The struggle with the poverty of our sin, the sorrow that it brings can leave us feeling alone and isolated. But as we listen to the stories from the Fathers on contrition and how to shape this habit of mind and virtue, it is as if we are taken by the hand and guided toward Christ. The Scriptures tell us that we are to console others as we ourselves have been consoled. The Fathers console us in so many different ways. They do this most simply by presenting us with the truth of our struggle with sin and also the depth of God‘s mercy and compassion. They struggle so hard to prevent us from falling into despondency and give us the healing balm of their wisdom to keep us moving forward - even if we should make a wreck of our life on a daily basis. On the most beautiful things they teach us in the Evergetinos is that contrition is not about self-contempt so much as it is about self-knowledge; of seeing the truth of the wound of sin and our need for the Divine Physician. What is asked of us is not perfection, but rather to live in a spirit of faith and repentance; with humble hearts to turn to the One who loves us and desires to heal us. These reasons alone are enough to convince a soul to seek constant nourishment and guidance from the fathers. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:06:27 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 249, F.

The Buddha created the sangha, or community, of monastics, but his teaching spread to every level of society and we can each be part of a sangha. In this talk Mary discusses the ethical foundations of such a community and how we can create a wise and supportive community where we are. Recalling the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's idea that we "are tied together in a single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable net of mutuality" and Thich Nhat Hanh's idea of Interbeing, Mary invites us to reflect on community or sangha in our own lives.Recorded June 14, 2025 in the virtual worldBhikkhu Bodhi: The Buddha's Teachings on Social and Communal Harmony Larry Yang: Awakening TogetherSend me a text with any questions or comments!

Originaire de Suède, le SNUS est un type de tabac également très consommé en Norvège et aux États-Unis. Près d'1 million de personnes en consommerait régulièrement selon les autorités suédoises. Illégal en France depuis 1992, le SNUS circule aussi dans l'hexagone. Il a notamment été popularisé par Marcus Thuram, joueur de l'équipe de France de football, qui s'est affiché avec un sachet de SNUS dans l'avion l'emmenant au Qatar le 17 novembre 2022.

Vernor Vinge'in öngörülü novellası True Names'ten ve Bitcoin'in kurucusu Satoshi Nakamoto'nun esrarengiz kimliğinden ilham alarak, dijital çağda kimlik, gizlilik, anonimlik ve takma adların derinliklerine iniyoruz. Yazar Gigi, çocukluk lakabının nasıl "gerçek adı"na dönüştüğünü anlatan kişisel hikayesinden yola çıkarak, çevrimiçi dünyada ve "et mekânında" (meat space) kimliğin sabit değil, prizmatik ve akışkan olduğunu savunuyor.Google, Facebook, bankalar ve hükümetlerin dayattığı tekil, izlenebilir ve parça parça satılan kimlik anlayışını keskin bir dille eleştiriyoruz. Bu dayatmanın, bizi gözetim devletlerinin distopik panoptikonlarına götüren tehlikeli bir yol olduğu belirtiliyor. Özgür bir toplumun, kişinin kendisini dünyaya seçici olarak açığa çıkarma seçeneğine sahip olması gerektiğini vurguluyoruz. Anonimlik ve takma adların (pseudonymity) önemini açıklarken, takma adların bir karakter ve itibar inşa etmeye olanak sağladığını belirtiyoruz.Cypherpunklardan, #WeAreAllHodlonaut hareketine, takma adların ve sembollerin bir fikir etrafında nasıl toplanma gücü verdiğini keşfediyoruz. George Orwell, Ayn Rand, Satoshi Nakamoto ve Buddha gibi örneklerle takma adların "gerçek isimlerden" bile daha güçlü olabileceğini gösteriyoruz. "Hepimiz Satoshi'yiz" fikri üzerinden, Bitcoin'in kimseye ait olmadığını ve kolektif bir çaba olduğunu belirtiyoruz.Geleneksel finansal sistemlerin aksine, Bitcoin'in neden bankalar ve ödeme işlemcilerinin aksine kimlik, onay veya ayrımcılık gerektirmediğini inceliyoruz. Bitcoin'in doğası gereği "kötü olamama"sının ("Can't be evil"), "kötü olmama" sözünden ("Don't be evil") daha üstün olduğunu ve ayrımcılık yapmayan bir finansal sistem sunduğunu vurguluyoruz.Bu bölüm, kimliğinizi seçme, kendinizi dünyaya seçici olarak açığa çıkarma özgürlüğünün ve Bitcoin'in sunduğu finansal bağımsızlığın bir kutlamasıdır. "Gerçek İsimler Gerekli Değil" ilkesinin [Başlık, 4, 17] neden daha özgür, daha adil ve daha sanlı bir geleceğin anahtarı olduğunu öğrenin. Bitcoin, adil bir dünyaya doğru ilerlemek için bir yol sunar.Kaynak

(Cloud Mountain Retreat Center) The Buddha's step-mother and most senior bhikkhuni, Venerable Mahāpajāpati, came to him for a teaching in brief that she could use for ardent practice. We can use this advice to guide our practice today and our relationship with the world.
(Cloud Mountain Retreat Center) These meditations were taught to the Buddha's son Rahula (MN 62) on the elements: earth, water, fire, air and space, followed by the advice to develop meditation like each of these of these elements so that whatever might be experienced by the mind, likeable or dis-likeable, that would not invade the mind and remain.
(Group Learning Program) - LEARN Breathing Mindfulness Meditation (Part 2 of 4)Breathing Mindfulness Meditation was the primary form of meditation employed by The Buddha to attain Enlightenment. There are many aspects of The Path to Enlightenment that one would need to learn and practice with guidance from a Teacher, however, Breathing Mindfulness Meditation should be among the top priorities for any Practitioner aspiring to attain Enlightenment.The goal of Breathing Mindfulness Meditation is to develop “Right Mindfulness”, “Right Concentration”, and to eliminate the unwholesome root of craving/desire/attachment.All discontentedness is caused by craving/desire/attachment so it is important to train the mind to not have craving/desire/attachment as part of "Developing Your Life Practice".In this Podcast, David will guide you in learning Breathing Mindfulness Meditation, will accept questions from Students to help you develop your meditation practice, and will guide you in Breathing Mindfulness Meditation.——-Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The BuddhaDedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's Teachings to attain Enlightenment.https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com(See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)Group Learning Program - LIVE Interactive Online Classes, Book, Audiobook, Videos, Podcast and Personal Guidancehttps://mailchi.mp/f958c59262eb/buddhadailywisdomThe Words of The Buddha - Pali Canon in English Study Grouphttps://mailchi.mp/6bb4fdf2b6e0/palicanonstudyprogramFREE Book - Developing a Life Practice: The Path That Leads to Enlightenmenthttps://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/freebuddhabooksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DailyWisdom999YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyWisdom999Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/buddhadailywisdom/Support our efforts to share The Teachings of Gotama Buddha with you and worldwide for all people using this link.https://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/supportbuddha#buddhism #learnbuddhism #enlightenment #dhamma #dharma #buddha #meditation #meditationretreat #meditationcourse

Thich Nhat Hanh is a luminous soul, the type of soul who radiates goodness and light even when his physical body is no longer present.His book, The Heart of Buddha's Teaching, is not just a book. It's a practice manual for living in good times and bad, allowing us to live in the present moment.These last couple of weeks have not been an easy one for me. At times, the pain has cut so deep that it has touched every cell in my body. But, through luminous souls like Thich, I now have to come to give thanks for the pain. It has deepened my soul, opened new pathways of understanding, and provided fuel to let my light shine.I have so much gratitude that Thich shared his powerful life force through his enlightened teaching of the Buddha.This episode covers the power of Thich Nhat Hanh to transform your suffering into peace, joy, and understanding. I'll also share a lecture of his that calmed me in the middle of the night. Finally, you will learn the health benefits of gratitude (it's not just for John Tesh) and a simple tip to begin your gratitude practice.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche continues the discussion from the previous session about his pen-pal when he was in Buxa, Rachel Levi (a member of the Buddhist Society in London). Rinpoche recalls his dream about receiving a letter when she passed away. Although they didn't meet, when Rinpoche was in London, he met her niece. When the niece's husband passed away, an extensive puja was offered at Manjushri Institute. This made the niece very happy. Rinpoche highlights that it's important for centers to do pujas, as much as possible, when somebody connected to the center has passed away. He describes the types of practices that can be done, such as the Medicine Buddha puja and the King of Prayers.In preparation for death, Rinpoche advises those who have taken Highest Tantra initiation and done the enabling retreat to do self-initiation. He says this is best done daily. He also mentions how he read the Heruka middle version self-initiation to Lama Yeshe while he was passing away.Rinpoche discusses the powerful purification of reciting the names of the Thirty-five Buddhas and combining this with prostrations. He says this purifies many eons of negative karma, so you don't have to experience the four suffering results. In the Lama Tsongkhapa tradition, this is a very important daily practice. Rinpoche gives specific details about how to do the practice. He also describes how to do the Vajrasattva purification meditation by combining it with circumambulation. Rinpoche says that you collect unbelievable merit by circumambulating.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia. While the retreat focused on Mahamudra, Rinpoche also taught on a wide range of Lamrim topics. This retreat marked the beginning of a series of month-long retreats in Australia. Subsequent retreats were held in 2011, 2014, and 2018, hosted by the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo.Find out more about Lama Zopa Rinpoche, his teachings and projects at https://fpmt.org/
“Seven Good Qualities” is a Dharma talk and brief guided meditation inspired by a moment in the Pali Canon where the Buddha responds to a rising authoritarian ruler—not with politics or condemnation—but by calmly highlighting the seven qualities that allow a nation to thrive. This isn't about left or right—it's about wise or unwise. Ethical or harmful. Healing or dividing. May this be useful and unnecessary! Enjoy!https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com
This talk gives an overview of the Anattā-Lakkhana Sutta, the Buddha's second discourse and how we can use the Buddha's teaching on Non-Self (Anattā) to free our hearts from clinging to what is impermanent, decaying and inherently unsatisfactory and suffering.For a complete playlist of "The Life of the Buddha" series on YouTube, click on the link below:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbxbuMjfRsvxKRNGf2OpxFD322oyZzfWk Chapters:0:00 Introduction to the Discourse on Non-Self3:16 Overview of the content of the Discourse10:02 The purpose of the teaching on non-self10:24 What creates our sense of "I'am"?15:28 The perception of non-self can be developed17:45 How can the perception of non-self be developed?18:23 Giving/Sharing20:10 Contentment28:13 Body contemplation45:03 Seeing Will/Desire (Sankhārā) as non-selfMORE INFO:Dhammagiri Website: https://www.dhammagiri.net Dhammagiri YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@dhammatalksatdhammagiri8724 Dhammagiri Newsletter: https://www.dhammagiri.net/newsletter.
Shakyamuni uses the rhetoric of his dual existence to again drive home the point that all phenomena inherit Tathagata potential.

When we become attached to a way of being or a circumstance. That way of being or that circumstance dictates to us who we are. When the Buddha said do not attach yourself, I am convinced he is saying let things flow. Let things go when they need to be let go. That's what this episode is about.

Romans 1:3-4 — The New Testament claims that Jesus is the incarnate Son of God but the unbelieving world continues to challenge this fact. What's more recent, however, is the false religion that rejects this doctrine yet believes one can still be considered a “Christian.” Is the person of Christ necessary for Christianity? Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones argues that without a Biblical view of Christ, there is no Christianity and no salvation. Islam can exist without Muhammad and Buddhism can exist without Buddha, but Christianity cannot exist without Christ. That faith is built upon the identity, person and work of Jesus Christ. The God who made and sustains the world fulfilled the Old Testament prophecy. Listen to the sermon titled “Concerning His Son: from Romans 1:3–4 where Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains the necessity of the incarnation and belief in this central doctrine. Christless Christianity is not Christianity at all; it is damning hypocrisy. Rejecting Jesus as Messiah places one outside of the Christian faith. Rejecting the divinity of Jesus disregards the whole of His work. Rejecting the full humanity of Jesus imagines a savior who cannot save. Christianity is more than a list of rules, a way of life, or a set of principles. Christianity is about Christ.

While the Waymos burn While the air over LA fills with smoke and teargas and Reaper drones While Israelis hand each other trophies for not murdering Greta Thunberg While Palantir stocks soar and insect populations plummet While the news man writes headlines with increasingly creative phrasing While people with nothing to lose sharpen guillotine blades While the bank boys ask why the robot armies aren't ready yet While keffiyeh-clad heroes march to Gaza While secret saints work secret miracles in the margins While a sleeping giant stirs within our depths While the flames dance in Buddha's eyes While my peacock feather heart opens like a fuchsia bud While the tears roll down my cheeks for the dead and the dying While the firelight dances on my walls and the rebels dance in the fire I open my strange palms to our strange future and welcome it Come what may. Reading by Tim Foley.
Mary reflects on how often we look for reality or truth somewhere else, when there really is nowhere else. We're invited to recognize how our mind struggles to create different stories to suit what we want but freedom lies in being able to stay right where we are.

Hear more about how the Buddha reflected, how he saw the cosmos and who were the beings who met the Buddha first after his awakening.0:00 The first week after awakening: The Buddha reflects about dependent origination.15:54 The second week after awakening: The Buddha surveys the cosmos and sees all beings burning with desire, aversion and delusion and afflicted by becoming.24:25 The third week: The Buddha meets a Brahmin and gives him a short teaching about how to become a true Brahmin.26:02 The fourth week: A great rainstorm comes and the Naga-King Mucalinda (A Serpent or Dragon like spirit from the lowest heavenly realm) protects the Buddha from the weather.28:24 The fifth week: Two Merchants, Bhallika & Tapussa, meet the Buddha, offer him the first meal after his awakening and become the first two male lay disciples of the Buddha.31:46 The sixth week: Mara, the evil one tries to challenge the Buddha, but has to leave sad and dejected because he has been defeated.33:56 The seventh week: The Buddha reflects about the practice that lead him to awakening The five spiritual faculties (Indriyas) and the four foundations of mindfulness (Satipatthana).Brahma Sahampati, a non-returner from Suddhavasa realm appears to the Buddha and expresses his approval.42:53 The Buddha sees that there is no other being with a higher spiritual attainment than him that he could honour, so he decides to dwell honouring and venerating the Dhamma, the law of nature that he discovered and taught.47:41 Brahma Sahampati requests the Buddha to teach.He surveys the cosmos with the eyes of a Buddha out of compassion and sees that there are being that are easy to teach and difficult to teach, some with good attributes and some with bad attributes. Just like lotus plants in a pond where some lotus plants are growing under the water and some have emerged from the water and stand unsullied by the water.After the Buddha sees that there are beings who are capable to understand him, he makes the momentous decision to teach the path to awakening that he found himself to others out of compassion, which influenced the lives of billions of people in the last 2500 years.The Suttas can be found in Udana 1;1-4, Udana 2;1 and Udana 3;10.https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/ud/index.htmlIn the Mahavagga of the Vinaya Pitaka:https://www.dhammatalks.org/vinaya/Mv/MvI.html#burmese4Samyutta Nikaya 4;1 and S 4;24 and 25https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/SN/SN4_1.htmlhttps://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/SN/SN4_24.htmlhttps://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/SN/SN4_25.htmlSamyutta Nikaya 47;43 and 48;57 where the Buddha reflects about the practice that led him to awakeningSamyutta Nikaya 6;2 where the Buddha decides to live revering the Dhamma itselfhttps://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/SN/SN6_2.htmlMORE INFO:Dhammagiri Website: https://www.dhammagiri.net Dhammagiri YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@dhammatalksatdhammagiri8724 Dhammagiri Newsletter: https://www.dhammagiri.net/newsletter.

“Give Me Three Steps” is a Dharma talk on radical equality, karmic physics, and the three practical steps the Buddha offers for turning compassion into action: see clearly, guard the mind, act wisely. We trace this wisdom from an empty alms bowl in ancient Kapilavatthu all the way to our news feeds today—asking how each of us can plant better seeds right where we stand. Listen in, then drop a comment: Which door will you stop skipping this week? I hope the talk brings steadiness and heart. Enjoy! https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

The Decoders welcome back cognitive anthropologist Manvir Singh for a continued exploration into the social and cognitive dimensions of shamanism. Building upon their earlier conversation, this episode involves further discussion of the psychological mechanisms and cultural patterns that make shamanic practices a recurring feature across human societies. Drawing from Singh's latest book, Shamanism: The Timeless Religion (2025), the discussion addresses how these ancient practices persist and adapt in modern contexts.Taking our standard meandering conversational journey with Manvir, we traverse topics such as whether Jesus and the Buddha were shamans, the parallels between the Siberian tundra and Silicon Valley, the potential emergence of AI-driven shamans within virtual reality environments, and whether dialogos with Hermes counts as a soul flight.Something for all the family!LinksShamanism: The Timeless Religion by Manvir Singh (2025)Prof or Hobo websiteNew Yorker: The President Who Became a ProphetOur first interview with ManvirBuckner, William. 2022.
