Podcasts about dukkha

This talk explains that meditation develops the ability to experience each moment without the filters of past judgments, memories, or future fears. By cultivating "radical mindfulness," meditators learn to recognize experiences as they truly are, rather than reacting through personal interpretations and emotional habits. Through this practice, we free ourselves from the "old food" of the past and the "unprepared food" of the future, allowing us to live with greater wisdom, peace, and presence.

Broadcasting live from Ota City, Tokyo, I'm digging into the quiet power of Zen Buddhism and how it can stop you from going around the twist while building your business. After years of being influenced by Japanese concepts like Kaizen and Ikigai, I've realized that the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path offer the ultimate "treatment plan" for the friction and dissatisfaction we all feel at work. We're looking at why compulsive attachment to outcomes usually messes things up and how shifting your focus to "Right Livelihood" and "Right Mindfulness" keeps you grounded. Whether you're washing dishes, fixing a bike, or teaching a guitar scale, there's a way to do it with more clarity and a lot less nonsense. It's about being excellent to yourself while staying useful to your students. Key Takeaways Ordinary life often contains a sense of friction or "Dukkha," which in a business context shows up as subtle dissatisfaction or the feeling that things are incomplete. Much of our professional stress comes from a compulsive attachment to specific outcomes, like hitting a certain income goal or needing a specific car to feel happy. The Eightfold Path isn't a rigid checklist but a set of interconnected practices—like Right Speech and Right Action—that you embody moment by moment. Right Mindfulness means being fully present in the mundane tasks, whether that's administrative work or teaching a student to play an instrument. Applying these principles helps you see through your own nonsense and ensures you are earning a living in a way that doesn't create suffering for others.  Direct Quotes  I'm just about smarter enough to realise that I don't have all the answers. The issue isn't desire in every sense, but that compulsive never ending grasping and attachment to outcomes. The Eightfold Path is just a route towards enlightenment... it's also how enlightenment is expressed and performed in daily life. They help to keep you grounded. Thinking straight and seeing through your own nonsense. Remember that life is good. Be excellent to yourselves. Stay healthy. Stay useful.

Moderní překlad publikace Ajahna Brahma „Word of the Buddha“, kterou Ajahn používá k výuce buddhistických sútt. 00:29 – Čtyři ušlechtilé pravdy: Proč jsme uvězněni v samsáře 01:54 – První ušlechtilá pravda o utrpení (Dukkha) 02:11 – Druhá ušlechtilá pravda o příčině utrpení (Tanhá) 02:27 – Třetí ušlechtilá pravda o zániku utrpení 02:43 – Čtvrtá ušlechtilá pravda o cestě (Osmidílná stezka) 03:01 – Hloubka Dharmy a obtížnost jejího pochopení 04:31 – Brahma Sahampati žádá Buddhu, aby učil 05:01 – Co všechno je utrpení: Od zrození po smrt 09:17 – Pět složek existence (Khandhy)  17:48 – Tři charakteristiky bytí (Aničča, Dukkha, Anattá) 25:37 – Trojí varování: Stáří, nemoc a smrt 27:19 – Koloběh života (Samsára): Nekonečné putování a oceány slz 29:40 – Odpor k samsáře a cesta k vysvobození V roce 1907 vydal německý mnich, ctihodný Ñānatiloka, anglickou verzi knihy Buddhova slova. Je charakterizována jako „Přehled Buddhova učení slovy pālijského kánonu“. Obsahuje výběr autentického učení ze sútt, které pojednávají o hlavním buddhistickém učení čtyř vznešených pravd (včetně vznešené osmidílné stezky).  Více než 25 let používá Ajahn Brahm tuto publikaci jako učebnici k uvedení svých mnišských studentů do problematiky buddhistických sútt. Každý anagárika (adept přijatý k přípravě) a sámanera (začínající mnich) musí absolvovat tento kurz základního buddhistického učení, předtím než je mu uděleno vyšší vysvěcení jako bhikkhu (plně vysvěcený mnich).  Ajahn Brahm vytvořil pro účely výuky svých mnišských adeptů nový typ překladu — ani ne tak pro vědecké experty, spíše pro ty, kteří se chtějí ve svém životě ponořit do tohoto učení. Řídil se bystrou radou profesora A. K. Wardera: „Věta je přirozenou jednotkou sdělení a představuje minimální jednotku, která má přesný, plně vyjádřený význam. Pro účely studia musíme slovům přiřazovat přibližné významy a zařazovat je do slovníků, avšak zobecňující významy slov jsou velmi vágní, zatímco věty poskytují přesnější význam. Při tvorbě překladu lze nalézat ekvivalenty blízké jednotlivým větám, zatímco u jednotlivých slov je to často nemožné.“ Ajahn Brahmavamso ("Adžán"), autor knihy „Kráva, která plakala“, absolvent Univerzity v Cambridge, je buddhistický mnich a duchovní superstar. Přitom stále skromný, laskavý, autentický a vtipný. Žije v malé jeskyni uprostřed kláštera Bodhinyana nedaleko Perthu v Austrálii. Říká o sobě, že je "mnich, který má rád legraci" (fun loving monk).

This is really the heart of a mature spiritual practice, the union of these two, not the separation." –Joseph Goldstein See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Bhante Sathi breaks down key Buddhist ideas like avijja (lack of understanding) and moha (the delusion in a false sense of “self”). While the main topic focuses on these key conceptions, he also explains dukkha and misconceptions that can flourish in the realm of language. With simple, relatable examples, he discusses how easy it is to misunderstand these concepts—and how real clarity comes from paying attention to what's happening in the present moment.

In Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, "Citta" refers to the mind-stuff or consciousness, encompassing thoughts, emotions, memories, and habitual tendencies. Citta acts as a storehouse for mental impressions (Samskaras), which influence behavior, and latent desires (Vasanas), driving habitual actions. Vrittis, the mental fluctuations, move between these impressions, causing restlessness. Citta's essential nature is pure, but impurities cloud it, leading to suffering (Dukkha). The Kleshas—ignorance (Avidya), ego (Asmita), attachment (Raga), aversion (Devas), and fear (Abhinivesha)—are mental afflictions that contribute to this disturbance. Through yoga practice, we aim to calm these fluctuations ("Citta Vritti Nirodha") and purify the mind. Techniques like Abhyasa (practice) and Vairagya (detachment) help still the mind. In asanas, we observe and release Samskaras, Vasanas, and Vrittis, breaking conditioned responses and fostering growth, inner peace, and alignment with intention. The practice brings clarity, guiding toward self-realisation and freedom from unconscious reactions.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

(Buddha-Haus) Vergänglichkeit ist das Wesen aller Dinge. Daraus ergibt sich, dass Freude und Glück aufgrund verschiedenster Erfahrungen zu Leiden führen. Weil wir das nicht erkennen, folgen wir Begierde und Gier. In einer Lehrrede führt der Buddha auf, dass wenn wir die Gefahr von Begierde nach Sinnesbefriedigung, nach Form, nach dem Glück der Vertiefungen erkennen, wir uns von ihnen abwenden. Die Begierde nach Sinnesbefriedigung ist für ihn die Grundlage für Streit, Zwietracht und Krieg. Die Begierde nach Form die Grundlage für Raub, die Begierde nach dem Glück der Jhana die Ursache, dass wir keine wirkliche Befreiung finden. Dukkha ist. Mitgefühl ist die einzige tröstende Antwort darauf.
