(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) Teachings on mindfulness of the heart/mind including guided practice recognizing and allowing our emotions, moods, and mindstates.

In the last segment of UnMind, we looked at the implications of Master Dogen's expression, "the most important thing in Buddhism," from Fukanzazengi, the set of instructions for zazen he composed after returning from China. We speculated on what he could possibly have meant, by singling out one of the many points he made in the text. I suggested that it may be more useful to consider the "don'ts," rather than the "do's," such as: not thinking, notinteracting, and not distinguishing between the absolute and relative, rather than speculate upon a single bumper-sticker summation of his broader points, as the singular, "main thing to do." In other words, maybe he is pointing at something holistic, in the visceral realm, rather than the intellectual.This is in keeping with Buddhism's major teachings — that their meaning will be found in our direct experience on the cushion and in daily life, rather than in words, which can point at the truth but fail to express it in any comprehensive sense. So when we consider the least important thing in Buddhism, it may be helpful to turn to the written record of the spoken teachings of Buddha himself, beginning with the First Sermon, reputed to be what he had to say to the five ascetics he had been training and traveling with at that point in his spiritual quest. It starts out with come "don'ts." In that original dharma talk, Buddha essentially dismisses the extreme lifestyles of the rich and famous on the one hand — self-gratification writ large; and that of the ascetics themselves on the other, who had turned away from Siddhartha after witnessing him drinking goat's milk, violating their high standard of discipline, including virtual starvation. Buddha had landed in the Middle Way, after a night of extreme introspection. Here we have to reiterate that "extremism in the pursuit of moderation is no vice." In articulating the Middle Way between the usual pursuits of the lay hoi polloi and the monastic minority, Buddha indicated the futility of both lines of endeavor — self-gratification versus self-mortification. The most balanced and natural approach is nether to deny the cravings born of body, mouth and mind, nor to overindulge them. This suggests an innate trust in basic human nature — or we should say buddha-nature — our original nature, which is untrammeled by the limits and demands of biological needs and societal norms. Not exactly the noble savage, but the natural sage: a person who lives freely within the bounds of nature as well as those of society. Mr. Natural. Amongst the least important things in Zen would be concerns about our social identity. As one contemporary author's mother told him, You would be a lot less concerned about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do. We all see ourselves as the marquee character in our own movie, with all others playing supporting roles. The trouble is, everyone else sees their reality the same way, with us as the bit players. While the most important thing, or things, about Buddhism will necessarily lie within the personal sphere, the least important will be found in the social sphere. Those in the natural and universal spheres will fall in-between. For example, it is more likely that we can safely ignore developments in society that may indirectly threaten our livelihood, safety and security — such as which party is currently in power — than we can those from natural and universal sources — such as climate change, pandemics, and asteroids. The most important things in Zen revolve around personal applications of the method — zazen — and the results of such training in terms of its effects directly upon the body-mind as well as attitude adjustments regarding our misconceptions of buddha-dharma, and some that tend to have a halo effect upon social life. One major overlap is the practice of patience. Sitting upright, straight enough and still enough for long enough, we are forced to become much more patient with ourselves, our general ignorance and the monkey-business machinations of the discriminating mind — citta in Sanskrit — which serendipitously sounds like Cheetah, Tarzan's famous chimpanzee companion, making it easy to remember. Wisdom, or enlightened, mind — bodhiin Sanskrit — comes to the fore. Citta and bodhi, foreground and background mind, or analytical and intuitive mind, gradually or instantaneously, come into better balance: the original, unified mind, in which the apparent dichotomy is "not-two." Much like central and peripheral vision, which collaborate interdependently to make up the whole of the sense of vision, the two aspects of mind are not in opposition to each other. Not competitive, but complementary. The most important thing, then, would be to allow them to work in harmony. Vacillation from one to the other is the natural way that intelligence and consciousness work. The least important thing would be to worry about them as being antagonistic to each other. We do not have to "empty our mind of thoughts." In fact, if we try to, the monkey will turn into a 600-pound gorilla. We will lose that battle. Better to allow the monkey free range. It will wear itself out eventually. When citta finally exhausts its frantic coping mechanisms, it will lie down and take a nap. Then bodhi can manifest as the balancing act. The posture becomes a comfortable stretch, the breath like a sigh of relief. By relinquishing control, we sink into equanimity. The Buddhist jargon term that addresses centered balance, or settling into "calm abiding" (Skt. Shamata) — and is often defined as the platform for insight (Skt. Vipassana) — is Samadhi: usually capitalized to emphasize the veneration and importance it is accorded. While I think that — as much as possible — we should endeavor to reduce or eliminate the jargonized nature of much of the written record, it may be clarifying to characterize the method of zazen and its effects in terms of different kinds of "samadhis." The first, the traditional form of the upright seated posture of the body in zazen, we might call physical samadhi — less stress, more equipoise, or equilibrium — basically coming into alignment with gravity. The second, we might term emotional samadhi — less anxiety, more calmness. Since mind and body cannot separate, the most direct path to the "mind" is through the body. The third, mental samadhi — less confusion, more clarity — particularly regarding the true meaning of buddha-dharma, what the teachings are pointing to in reality, which is only accessible within our direct experience. Experiential truth is the only truth in Zen. But we can misinterpret what we perceive. All perceived reality is virtual. I propose that there is a fourth kind of samadhi, which I term social samadhi — less friction, more harmony — in relationships. This, of course, is what most people are looking for in the early stages of their meditative practice. But its manifestation is further down the road. It all begins with physical samadhi in zazen. Amongst the least important things, one of the most important is to avoid creating expectations of your practice of zazen. Setting expectations is the way we approach most activities we associate with learning. We hope to learn something new, to find what is missing. But zazen, and its effects, is not really gaining something new, but remembering something long forgotten, and primordial: the natural posture, the natural breath, the natural state of mind. If we imagine that there is something fundamentally wrong with our mind, and that we have to "fix" it, then we are making a fundamental error, a categorical mistake, defined as "treating abstract concepts as though they had a physical location." There is nothing fundamentally wrong with our mind, or for that matter with the entirety of existence. The only thing wrong is our interpretation of reality, our own ignorance and uninformed opinions. As Master Pogo said, "We have met the enemy and he is us." The least important things are TBD - to be determined. In your practice and daily life.As we close out the winter season of the old year and anticipate the opening salvos of the new year, let us remember that there is no such thing as a year, and practice with an open mind. Open to possibilities that lie beyond our imagination, and are right before, and behind, our original face. Don't look in the mirror for it. It is the most important thing. If you have any topics or areas of interest in Zen that you would like me to explore in 2025, please let me know. You know where I live.

Carla Weber"Convivio"Esperienze di crescita e conoscenzaCasa del Teatro Ragazzi e GiovaniSalone Internazionale del Libro / OffUn ciclo di incontri su filosofia, musica e mito con Ugo Morelli, Carlo Boccadoro e Carla Weber Terzo appuntamento con Carla Weber in collaborazione con il Salone Off lunedì 13 maggio ore 17.30 Casa del Teatro Ragazzi e Giovani (Corso Galileo Ferraris 266, Torino) Torino, 3 maggio 2024. Dopo le lectio di Ugo Morelli sul linguaggio della filosofia e di Carlo Boccadoro sul linguaggio della musica, prosegue e termina Convivio.Esperienze di crescita e conoscenza, il ciclo di incontri organizzato dalla Fondazione TRG alla Casa del Teatro rivolto prevalentemente alle e agli insegnanti, ma aperti alla collettività, per riflettere su tre diversi linguaggi teatrali legati ad altrettanti spettacoli in stagione. Da anni la Fondazione TRG, attraverso progetti legati al teatro e soprattutto a una ricca e variegata programmazione con spettacoli pensati per le famiglie, per i giovani e per le scuole, propone temi utili alla crescita delle nuove generazioni nella realtà contemporanea, dalla guerra all'etica, dalla giustizia alle nuove tecnologie, per coinvolgerle nel dibattito attuale e fornire loro strumenti utili per poter leggere e interpretare la realtà del presente. Il tema di quest'anno è legato alla valorizzazione del linguaggio nelle sue molteplici declinazioni - virtuale, sonoro, del mito, della natura, della scienza... - come strumento di comprensione e comunicazione, nella consapevolezza che i linguaggi teatrali possano dare un contributo alla crescita di tutte e tutti. Il terzo e ultimo appuntamento, in collaborazione con il Salone Off, si terrà lunedì 13 maggio alle ore 17.30 con la psicologa, psicoterapeuta, psicoanalista e psicosocioanalista Carla Weber e sarà dedicato al linguaggio del Mito.Nella sua lectio “Perché il mito? A che cosa serve?” Carla Weber, a partire dall'opera teatrale di e con Paola Fresa P come Penelope (che replicherà sempre il 13 maggio alle ore 19,30 alla Casa del Teatro) racconterà le conoscenze tacite di cui il mito è portatore e quali orientamenti individuali e collettivi forma e trasmette nel tempo. Il mito che è parola, narrazione, contribuisce a sviluppare conoscenza per una via altrettanto importante e per niente ancillare a quella basata sulla ragione e lascienza. I miti in cui siamo immersi non li vediamo ma li pratichiamo, regolano cioè quello che sentiamo, immaginiamo, pensiamo e facciamo. La spinta emancipativa delle ragazze incontra i miti loro trasmessi da generazioni precedenti di donne e ne incontra altri che si affermano nel loro tempo di vita. I processi di educazione e cura possono permettere alle ragazze di riconoscere la funzione del mito e la doppia presenza nel mito di fattori emancipativi e di altri protettivi, di replica di una condizione di minorizzazione della donna.“P come Penelope” è una riscrittura del noto personaggio della moglie di Ulisse, che racconta al mondo la sua versione dei fatti con l'intento esplicito di cambiare, se possibile, un finale che sembra già scritto. Uno spettacolo sul potere della parola, una parola data, in questo caso, a chi non l'ha mai avuta perché da sempre è stata raccontata dalle parole di altri - parole maschili - chiamate a interpretare un universo intimo, di complessa decifrazione, ma soprattutto femminile.Paola Fresa ha ricevuto per la sua interpretazione il Premio Nazionale Franco Enriquez 2024 - Città di Sirolo XX edizione, per la categoria Teatro Classico e Contemporaneo sezione Migliore Attrice e Autrice. Carla Weber ha fondato e dirige lo Studio Akoé di Trento. Vanta trentacinque anni di attività clinica e di training nel campo della ricerca azione, della formazione-intervento in gruppi, istituzioni e comunità sociali. Ha avuto incarichi pluriennali di insegnamento nel Master di Politiche di genere presso l'Università di Trento e di ricerca nel Laboratorio di Scienze Cognitive all'Università di Rovereto. Contribuisce attivamente alla ricerca scientifica in psicoanalisi in quanto componente da anni del Comitato scientifico di ASP, Associazione di Studi psicoanalitici di Milano, di cui è stata presidente e già da dodici anni delegata in IFPS, International Federation of Psychoanalytic Societies. Numerose sono le sue pubblicazioni scientifiche. Co-dirige la rivista di psicosocioanalisi Educazione sentimentale, ed ha curato l'Archivio personale di Luigi Pagliarani, in quanto socia della Fondazione Luigi Pagliarani.

This is a reading of the chapter "Citta" taken from the text 'Uncommon Wisdom - Life and Teachings of Ajaan Pannavaddho. Written and compiled by Ajaan Dick Sīlaratano. Venerable Ajaan Pannavahho was the senior-most Western monk following Ajaan Mun's path of practice for over 40 years. Ajaan Paññā, as he was called, was a man of intellectual brilliance who, through his own efforts in meditation, was able to establish a strong spiritual foundation in his heart. While showing a selfless devotion to the task of presenting Ajaan Mun's Dhamma to his many disciples, his calm and purposeful presence touched the lives of so many people. He became a pioneer of the Western Sangha whose leadership influenced countless monks and laypeople to practice Ajaan Mun's teachings; and whose translations and interpretations of Ajaan Mahā Boowa's Dhamma talks introduced generations of Buddhists to the Thai Forest Tradition. Ajaan Paññā was born Peter John Morgan of Welsh parents on the 19th of October 1925. His birth took place in Mysore state in South India at the Kolar Gold Fields, where his father was working as a mining engineer. At the age of seven he was sent to the United Kingdom by his parents to begin his formal education. __________________________________________

See pictures and read more on materiallyspeaking.comThe flags are out, the bunting too, and the red and white mascot Burlamacco is everywhere as Viareggio eagerly awaits the start of Carnival. The trees are heavy with oranges, the sweet fried dough, chiacchiere, are in the pastry shops - there's excitement in the air!Dating back to 1873, Viareggio's Carnival attracts thousands of visitors each year to watch the enormous, intricate papier-mâché sculptures dance their way along the seaside promenade.From September through March the Citta del Carnevale - a circular complex with 16 hangars - is a hub of energy for the artisan community using boat-making skills from Viareggio, and artistic creativity from Pietrasanta. Last year we learnt how they use newspaper, along with flour and water paste, to create papier-mâché floats. But between the audience watching and the artists creating, there's another community: hundreds of volunteers or 'figurants' who turn up to rehearse, rain or shine, each weekend, to form the colourful dancing troupes in front of the floats.So Mike and I are here to revisit the LeBigre family on the 20th anniversary of their La Compagnia del Carnevale to learn why their 200 volunteers return each year, and what impact one creative project can have on the wider community.For this episode we are also proud to collaborate with Celia & Enzo of Piazza Talk Lucca - a popular YouTube channel sharing how life is in Lucca, and in the Tuscan hills. Celia, a book restorer, and Enzo, a sea captain dived right in to volunteer behind the scenes with the Le Bigre family creating papier-mâché items for the float.Check out the videos they made of their behind the scenes experience volunteering with the Le Bigre family on their YouTube channel.

Tommaso's first time in the Italian city of Parma was basically Prosciutto Paradiso! The city's historic center is very charming, colorful, clean and full of well dressed, and well-fed Italians. We entered every salumeria, cheese shop and combinations of the two, all of which made us both want to live in this sweet little city.  The historic center is brimming with all kinds of culinary goods, but the Parma ham takes center stage. Who knew there are so many types of Prosciutto each with it's own name and DOP label. The locals seem to take great pride in their city's moniker of Citta di Gastronomia / The City of Gastronomy.

Oggi: Citta' incredule condannate16 Ma a chi paragonerò questa generazione? È simile ai bambini seduti nelle piazze che gridano ai loro compagni[e] e dicono: 17 “Vi abbiamo suonato il flauto e non avete ballato; [vi] abbiamo cantato dei lamenti e non avete pianto”. 18 Difatti è venuto Giovanni, che non mangia e non beve, e dicono: “Ha un demonio!” 19 È venuto il Figlio dell'uomo, che mangia e beve, e dicono: “Ecco un mangione e un beone, un amico dei pubblicani[f] e dei peccatori!” Ma la sapienza è stata giustificata dalle sue opere[g]».Gesù rimprovera le città impenitenti20 Allora egli prese a rimproverare le città nelle quali era stata fatta la maggior parte delle sue opere potenti, perché non si erano ravvedute: 21 «Guai a te, Corazin[h]! Guai a te, Betsaida[i]! perché se in Tiro e Sidone fossero state fatte le opere potenti compiute tra di voi, già da molto tempo si sarebbero pentite, con sacco e cenere. 22 Perciò vi dichiaro che nel giorno del giudizio la sorte di Tiro e di Sidone sarà più tollerabile della vostra. 23 E tu, o Capernaum, sarai forse innalzata fino al cielo? No, tu scenderai fino all'Ades[j]. Perché se in Sodoma fossero state fatte le opere potenti compiute in te, essa sarebbe durata fino ad oggi. 24 Perciò vi dichiaro che nel giorno del giudizio la sorte del paese di Sodoma sarà più tollerabile della tua».La relazione personale del discepolo con il suo Signore25 In quel tempo Gesù prese a dire: «Io ti rendo lode, o Padre, Signore del cielo e della terra, perché hai nascosto queste cose ai sapienti e agli intelligenti, e le hai rivelate ai piccoli. 26 Sì, Padre, perché così ti è piaciuto. 27 Ogni cosa mi è stata data in mano dal Padre mio; e nessuno conosce il Figlio, se non il Padre; e nessuno conosce il Padre, se non il Figlio, e colui al quale il Figlio voglia rivelarlo.28 Venite a me, voi tutti che siete affaticati e oppressi[k], e io vi darò riposo. 29 Prendete su di voi il mio giogo e imparate da me, perché io sono mansueto e umile di cuore; e voi troverete riposo per le anime vostre; 30 poiché il mio giogo è dolce e il mio carico è leggero».Support the show

(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) Unser Herzgeist - Citta - und seine Zustände sind der Bereich des dritten Satipatthana. Wir üben uns darin, achtsam auf die ganze Welt der Emotionen, Stimmungen, Impulse, Gedanken zu sein. Wie gelingt dies, ohne sich in Emotionen zu verlieren und ohne sie zu verdrängen? Durch diese Praxis gelangen wir zur Einsicht, dass alle diese psychischen Zustände vergänglich und unpersönlich sind.
