Though zazen is mainly considered a concentration practice, mindfulness plays an important role as well. Whether we're working in the kitchen or walking in a park, everything flows more freely once mindfulness is in the forefront and we get out of the way. Dharma Talk by Ven. Trueman Taylor.  Automated Transcript The post The Two Sides of Practice: Mindfulness and Concentration appeared first on Rochester Zen Center.

Bernd Bender, Kurs zum Herz-Sutra, 4. Treffen am 17. Februar 2025 im Akazienzendo, BerlinWir veröffentlichen hier das vierte und letzte Treffen des Herz-Sutra-Kurses, den Bernd bereits Anfang des Jahres im Akazienzendo gehalten hat. Anstatt die bisweilen rätselhaften Zeilen dieser Quintessenz der prajna paramita Sutren nur auszulegen, steht im Zentrum des Kurses die Idee, das Herz-Sutra als konkrete Anleitung für unsere Praxis verstehen zu lernen.Bernd beginnt mit einer angeleiteten Meditation, in der er durch die fünf Skandhas führt, und zwar in der Reihenfolge des direkt spürenden und berührten Körpers (oder Form), der Empfindungen, der Wahrnehmungen, der Impulse und des Bewusstseins. Im Anschluss geht er in seinem Vortrag darauf ein, dass das Bewusstsein die übrigen vier Skandhas in ein lebendiges Feld integriert und so den Zusammenhang unseres Erlebens stiftet.Dass wir die Welt und unser Gegenüber nicht direkt kennen, sondern nur unser komplexes, durch die Skandhas vermitteltes Erleben, kann zur Praxis des Anfänger-Geists führen, zu einer ethischen Haltung des Nicht-Festhaltens unserer Ansichten und Erwartungen und einer tiefen Erfahrung der Frische und Lebendigkeit des gegenwärtigen Augenblicks.Noch ein Hinweis: Während der angeleiteten Meditation kommt es naturgemäß immer wieder zu längeren Pausen in der Aufnahme. Deshalb haben wir Kapitelmarker eingefügt, mit denen ihr falls gewünscht in der Aufnahme springen könnt.Support the show

Bernd Bender, Kurs zum Herzsutra, 3. Treffen am 10. Februar 2025 im Akazienzendo, BerlinWir veröffentlichen hier das dritte von vier Treffen des Herzsutra-Kurses, den Bernd Bender bereits Anfang des Jahres im Akazienzendo gehalten hat. Anstatt die bisweilen kryptischen Zeilen dieser Quintessenz der prajna paramita Sutren nur auszulegen, steht im Zentrum des Kurses die Idee, das Herzsutra als konkrete Anleitung für unsere Praxis verstehen zu lernen.In der dritten Folge beginnt Bernd wieder mit einer angeleiteten Meditation, in der er uns tiefer und tiefer in das körperliche Spüren von Berührung führt, diesmal vor dem Hintergrund eines großen Schenkungsgeschehens, in dem uns unser Leben von Moment zu Moment geschenkt wird. Die Atemzüge, der spürende Körper sind verbunden mit der Atmosphäre, mit der Erde, und ebenso wie sie, schenken auch wir der Atmosphäre und der Erde Leben. Die Meditation führt in die Weite des Gewahrseins, bis hin zur Unterscheidung zwischen Selbst 1 und Selbst 2.Im Anschluss erzählt Bernd seine Version der Geschichte von Dongshan Liangjies Erwachen. Es ist auch eine Geschichte über den Perspektivwechsel vom Selbst 1 zum Selbst 2 und die Einsicht darin, dass beide nicht voneinander getrennt sind.Noch ein Hinweis: Während der angeleiteten Meditation kommt es naturgemäß immer wieder zu längeren Pausen in der Aufnahme. Deshalb haben wir Kapitelmarker eingefügt, mit denen ihr falls gewünscht in der Aufnahme springen könnt.Support the show

"When the grandmothers speak, the world will begin to heal.” ~Hopi ProverbThis Week: We are grooving with late Summer and Winter as encounter the full moon with a lunar eclipse in certain regions of the world. We begin to sense the transition ahead from yin to yang and masculine to feminine from within and the world around us. The grandmothers are calling us all home and you are being tapped on the sholder with a rememberance of self. With great discernment, sovereignty, and self-awareness, you have the opportunity to reflect with that and embrace it. "There is a special magic and holiness abut women. They are the bringers of life to the people, and the teachers of the children." Native American ViewSimply. Listen. Rest in the Void.The Full Moon reached full potency on Sunday, September 7, 2025, at 11:09 AM PST (Pacific Daylight Time). Lunar Eclipse began at 11:26 AM PST.Questions:What did you learn from your grandmother?What has been rising up in and around you?Where are you called to help transform your inner and outer world for the benefit of all?Weekly talks are an offering to assist you in diving deeper into a spiritual practice, exploring your inner landscape, and cultivating inner peace.Time Stamps: Dharma 0:00 | Meditation 25:00 | Sound 47:50 | Outro 1:26:29Music‘Fields of Flowers' by Cadre ScottPurchase River Single  HereProduction brought to you by OmToro Wellness + MediaMind Training: 8 Limbs Yoga Session: Weekly Writings and Well BeingHumanity + Earth Friendly Goodies:SuperfeastLiving TeaKindSpringFormula FlawlessZinZino Balance Oil  Balance + Focus Quick LinkOra CacaoBook: SunPlayHoney Bee Hippie

Koan was from The Gateless Gate: The Classic Book of Zen Koans by Koun Yamada. Case 7: Joshu's Washing the Bowls. Reflection questions: 1) What were you looking for when you first entered the monastery/practice/zen center? 2) How would you have reacted to this teaching back then? 3) Do you notice any resistance from you or a part of you to this? 4) How do you respond to this teaching now? What's alive in you? 5) Utilizing this koan, what could this teaching mean for your practice?

In this talk, Valerie begins with the poetry of love and loss as a portal to a saying from the eminent 9th century Chan/Zen master Joshu (Zhaozhou) about the timelessness

Scott's talked is based on one of Joshu's sayings. When asked “What is meditation?” he responded, “Non-meditation.” When asked how that could be, he said, “It's alive! It's alive!” Recorded
