She is also an LEED-accredited professional due to her passion for sustainable engineering. Caecilia is a licensed Mechanical Engineer who is a Fellow of American Society of Mechanical Engineers, where she served on the Board of Governors. Ms. Gotama was awarded the “Vision and Visionary” award from California State University, Fullerton, signifying her achievements as a successful business owner in the engineering field, as well as her contribution to her community. The world needs more engineers, and Caecilia realized that the engineering profession can be much more inclusive in its design approach. Her drive to contribute to her community and her entrepreneurial nature has led her to start BRDG - bridge to connect, a social non-profit organization that provides a bridge program for first generation STEM college students. With the contribution of highly qualified volunteers, this program benefits these young students, as well as the people they will serve in their professional lives. “The ability to solve problems and create knows no boundaries, class, race or gender. And yet, the training to be able to effectively invent and solve problems is still mostly available to those who know someone in this field. As the world needs more people with critical thinking ability, it becomes the duty of all of us in the technical fields to reach out and open doors for this next generation.” Caecilia Gotama -- Critical Mass Business Talk Show is Orange County, CA's longest-running business talk show, focused on offering value and insight to middle-market business leaders in the OC and beyond.

Raffaella Arrobbio"Fratelli spirituali"Gotama il Buddha, Gesù il Cristo: due voci, un'unica esperienza spiritualePrefazione di Paolo ScquizzatoGabrielli Editoriwww.gabriellieditori.itIl nuovo libro sui maestri spirituali di Raffaella Arrobbio “Fratelli spirituali. Gotama il Buddha, Gesù il Cristo: due voci, un'unica esperienza spirituale”, prefazione di Paolo Scquizzato.Questo libro, che inaugura la Collana “Il Giardino del Silenzio” diretta da Paolo Scquizzato, permette di scoprire nello stesso tempo i maestri spirituali Gesù e Gotama. Gesù il Cristo e Gotama il Buddha – ognuno per vie proprie e all'interno della propria cultura di appartenenza – hanno vissuto una tale esperienza trasformatrice al punto da spingerli successivamente a comunicarla ad altri tramite i loro insegnamenti.Il libro sui maestri spirituali: Fratelli spirituali di Raffaella Arrobbio si sviluppa tramite una lettura parallela dei testi evangelici e del canone buddhista. Si potrà scoprire che le due voci di Gesù e di Buddha, e i loro insegnamenti, sono affini perché indicano una stessa Realtà, una medesima possibilità di esperienza interiore: un'unica esperienza spirituale che è primordiale rispetto a qualunque codifica successiva. Ed è per questo che è possibile indicarli come fratelli spirituali.Le parole di Gesù e di Buddha emergono con cristallina semplicità mostrando la via d'uscita dai conflitti e dalla sofferenza individuale e collettiva. La via d'uscita – la buona novella – consiste nella scoperta dell'immenso potenziale di gioia, amore, compassione, equanimità, coraggio, che pulsa al fondo di ogni essere umano.“Dalla lettura attenta e sapienziale delle due tradizioni emerge con adamantina chiarezza che Gesù di Nazareth e il principe Gotama non sono due personaggi celesti fiondatisi sulla terra per compiere un'opera di salvezza per volontà di un dio. Cristo non è il cognome di Gesù di Nazareth, come Buddha non è il cognome di Siddhārtha Gotama. Cristo e Buddha rappresentano piuttosto la pienezza dell'umano, il simbolo dell'uomo giunto al suo compimento.”(dalla Prefazione di Paolo Scquizzato)Raffaella Arrobbio. Laureata in Filosofia e in Psicologia, specializzata in Psicoterapia Cognitiva, ha esercitato per circa quarant'anni la professione di psicoterapeuta. Studiosa e praticante di Buddhadharma, è interessata ai temi del dialogo possibile tra Buddhismo e Cristianesimo e, più in generale, allo studio dei fattori comuni e delle consonanze tra la sapienza antica dell'Occidente e dell'Oriente. Pubblicazioni principali: “Il Tesoro Nascosto. Le vie al benessere interiore” (Torino, 2001); “Gesù e Buddha in dialogo” (Firenze, 2016); “La meditazione tra essere e benessere.

Siddhartha is one of the great philosophical novels. Profoundly insightful, it is also a beautifully written story that begins as Siddhartha, son of an Indian Brahman, leaves his family and begins a lifelong journey towards Enlightenment. On the way he faces the entire range of human experience and emotion: he lives with ascetics, meets Gotama the Buddha, learns the art of love from Kamala the courtesan, and is transformed by the simple philosophy of the ferryman Vasudeva whose wisdom comes not from learned teachings but from observing the River. Herman Hesse (1877-1962) was a German-Swiss novelist, poet, and painter.

Og tager os med ind i supermarkedet, hvor en vis forvirring hersker. For hvordan kan Aloe Vera også hedde Aloe Barbadensis?

Mon ikke du kender Aloe Vera? Men ved du også, at der er hele 600 Aloe-arter? Det startede alt sammen for 16 millioner år siden i det Sydlige Afrika. Og selv om Aloerne er endemiske arter, spredte de sig over tid langs den Afrikanske østkyst og pen række øger i det indiske ocean. Siden kom turen til Mellemøsten, hvor Aloe Vera opstod som art.Alt det og mere til fortæller Louise Isager Ahl ganske underholdende om. Ligesom hun har skrevet: ALOE VERA – en plantes rejse gennem natur- og kulturhistorien i Tidsskriftet Kulturstudier.Og her info om: Aloe Polyphylla med dens ganske særlige rosetform. Den stammer fra Drakensberg-platauet i det sydøstlige Sydafrika . Hvilket også er her, hvor de to spurvefugle: Drakensberg Prinia og Drakensberg siskin lever.

Sukkulenter er planter, som du helt sikkert kender – f.eks. Aloe vera. Ligesom næsten alle arter af kaktus, er sukkulenter. Der er altså ikke tale om én art – men om en slags evolutionært udviklet 'funktion'.  Nysgerrig? Så lyt med, når Louise Isager Ahl underholdende fortæller...Sukkulenter har udviklet sig uafhængigt af hinanden på forskellige dele af 'stamtræet'. Dvs. de er et eksempel på konvergent udvikling.  Men samlet gælder, at for at passe på vandet, har de forskellige  arter udviklet en evne til at lagre vand. Hvilket har givet dem øgede overlevelsesmuligheder i områder med begrænset (fersk)vand... Sukkulenter vokser nemlig naturligt i bl.a. ørkenagtig vegetation. Men der er også nogle få arter i Danmark – f.eks. de  små og urteagtige (blad)sukkulenter i stenurt familien. Ordet sukkulent stammer for øvrigt fra latin: suc(c)ulentus, der betyder "fuld af saft" – afledt af suc(c)us , som betyder "saft".  Tjek også dette link om Aloe,  hvis du vil vide meget mere som denne art... Podcastens fantastiske fuglelyde (og utallige andre!) kan du finde på: Xeno-canto. Her er der optagelser af fugle fra hele verden. Det gælder også Arabian Golden-winged Grosbeak, den Sydafrikanske Natravn  samt Mexicospadenæb , som er med i podcasten – og mange, mange flere...Musik: Apocalyptic Anthem (med Catalyst & Humanfobia),  Moving silence (med  Gotama) og Balloon Waltz Memory (med Dana Boulé).Også denne podcast er produceret af Nalle Kirkvåg  – på vegne af socialøkonomiske  Polykrom Media.

Anatta, the Buddha's Teaching on 'Not-Self' | Ajahn Dhammasiha

Dhammagiri Buddhist Podcasts

One of best known features of the Dhamma is the teachings on 'Anattā' ('not-Self' or 'non-self'). It is rightfully regarded as one of the hallmarks of the Buddha's teaching, something that distinguishes it from all other spiritual or philosophical doctrines and religious beliefs. And yet, there is considerable bewilderment as to the exact meaning of anattā, even among knowledgeable, well practised Buddhists, or in scholarly discussions. For instance, one can often hear the opinion that the Buddha teaches that "there is no self". But did the Buddha ever literally say: "there is no self"? There is at least one occasion where the Buddha is asked point-blank by the wanderer Vacchagotta whether an Attā exists or whether it does not exist: "kiṃ nu kho, bho Gotama, atth'attā ti? ... kiṃ pana, bho Gotama, natth'attā ti?" [Saṃyutta Nikāya 44.10 = Connected Discourses 44.10] Fascinatingly, the Buddha refuses an answer to either question, but instead remains silent. And there is another quote where the Buddha explains that anyone who clings to either of the following two views as true and absolute: "My self exists" ("atthi me attā ti") "My self does not exist" ("n'atthi me attā ti") [Majjhima Nikāya #2 'Sabbāsavasutta' = Middle Length Discourses #2 'All the Taints'] has "gone into the thicket of views, the desert of views, the contortion of views, the vacillation of views, the fetter of views". So what, then, does the Buddha teach regarding self? He teaches that: "all phenomena are not self". "Sabbe dhammā anattā" [e.g. Dhammapada Verse 279] He teaches that form is not self, feeling is not self, perception is not self, volition is not self, consciousness is not self. He teaches that the eye is not self, forms are not self, ear, sounds, nose, fragrances, tongue, flavours, body, sensations, mind, ideas are not self. Some may object that this is merely splitting hairs. They may feel that there is virtually no difference between saying that there is no self, and saying that all phenomena are not self. But it's a huge difference. The statement "there is no self" is building up a merely intellectual opinion, it is establishing a doctrine which in itself becomes ground for clinging, and immediately puts one in direct conflict with anyone who believes the opposite, that "there is a self". On the other hand, to state "phenomena are not self", or "form is not self" is aimed at letting go. It's not an attempt at philosophical speculation, the development of views and opinions in one's head. Instead, it is a meditation instruction, it is a tool to be used to abandon attachment. The Dhamma is not trying to establish 'absolute' truth by means of words, thoughts and notions. It's not an abstract philosophy. Instead, it's a pragmatic instruction that is applicable ('opanāyika') to our personal situation, a medicine to treat the suffering we feel in our heart. It's whole purpose is simply to induce letting go. Once we contemplate and clearly see form, feeling, perception, intention and consciousness as not self, not me, and not mine, the heart lets go of them. With this insight, the whole delusion of self is destroyed and abandoned for good, as it is impossible for the delusion of self to be established anywhere else than on these 5 groups of clinging. In fact, it's quite impossible to even meaningfully express an intellectual view of a self other than in reference to them. www.dhammagiri.net www.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJw www.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive

Profoundly insightful, it is also a beautifully written story that begins as Siddhartha, son of an Indian Brahman, leaves his family and begins a lifelong journey towards Enlightenment. On the way he faces the entire range of human experience and emotion: he lives with ascetics, meets Gotama the Buddha, learns the art of love from Kamala the courtesan, and is transformed by the simple philosophy of the ferryman Vasudeva whose wisdom comes not from learned teachings but from observing the River.

When Buddha was accused of sexual relations with a young, beautiful woman named Sundari, and his followers were accused of murdering her, Buddha remained unphased. Buddha merely used it as an opportunity to teach about karma. If only we could remain so calm amidst the storms of life! In this episode, we learn about a practice to help us let go of anger taught by Thich Nhat Hanh. This meditation involves a mindfulness of anger: breathing in, I recognize my own anger; breathing out, I smile at my anger.    The Story of Sundari the Wandering Female Ascetic   While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (306) of this book, with reference to Sundari, a wandering female ascetic.   As the number of people revering the Buddha increased, the non-Buddhist ascetics found that the number of their following was dwindling. Therefore, they became very jealous of the Buddha; they were also afraid that things would get worse if they did not do something to damage the reputation of the Buddha. So, they sent for Sundari and said to her, "Sundari, you are a very beautiful and clever young lady. We want you to put Samana Gotama to shame, by making it appear to others that you are having sexual dealings with him. By so doing, his image will be impaired, his following will decrease and many would come to us. Make the best use of your looks and be crafty."   Sundari understood what was expected of her. Thus, late in the evening, she went in the direction of the Jetavana monastery. When she was asked where she was going, she answered, "I am going to visit Samana Gotama; I live with him in the Perfumed Chamber of the Jetavana monastery." After saying this, she proceeded to the place of the non-Buddhist ascetics. Early in the morning the next day, she returned home, if anyone asked her from where she had come she would reply, "I have come from the Perfumed Chamber after staying the night with Samana Gotama." She carried on like this for two more days. At the end of three days, those ascetics hired some drunkards to kill Sundari and put her body in a rubbish heap near the Jetavana monastery.   The next day, the ascetics spread the news about the disappearance of Paribbajika Sundari. They went to the king to report the matter and their suspicion. The king gave them permission to search where they wished. Finding the body near the Jetavana monastery, they carried it to the palace. Then they said to the king, "O king, the followers of Gotama have killed this Paribbajika and have thrown away her body in the rubbish heap near the Jetavana monastery to cover up the misdeed of their teacher." To them the king replied, "In that case, you may go round the town and proclaim the fact." So they went round the town carrying the dead body of Sundari, shouting, "Look! What the followers of Gotama have done; see how they have tried to cover up the misdeed of Gotama!" The procession then returned to the palace. The bhikkhus living in the Jetavana monastery told the Buddha what those ascetics were (doing to damage his reputation and impair his image. But the Buddha only said, "My sons, you just tell them this," and then spoke in verse as follows:   Verse 306: One who tells lies (about others) goes to niraya; one who has done evil and says "I did not do it" also goes to niraya. Both of them being evil-doers, suffer alike (in niraya) in their next existence.   The king next ordered his men to further investigate the murder of Sundari. On investigation, they found out that Sundari had died at the hands of some drunkards. So they were brought to the king. When questioned, the drunkards disclosed that they were hired by the ascetics to kill Sundari and put her body near the Jetavana monastery.  References and Links   Buddha.The Dhammapada.

The Buddha spoke many times of the importance of practicing harmlessness. The most harmful mind is the mind of anger. The nature of anger is that it wishes to harm its object. Just as the nature of fire is to burn, the nature of anger is to harm. In this episode, we look at the causes of anger and conflict in our hearts. Sometimes we are at war with someone, a family member, a person at work, with society, our government, or a political party. We can understand and touch the war within ourselves. We can lay our conflicts down and experience peace where there was pain and turmoil.    How does anger arise? Anger observes an object it finds unpleasant, dwells with inappropriate attention on the faults of that object. Then anger arises when the mind has become unpeaceful and uncontrolled. The great Buddhist Master Shantideva said there are two reasons we get angry: when we don't get what we want and when we have to put up with things we don't want.   Edict of ancient Rome was: “If you want peace, you must prepare for war.” The result of this traditional way of thinking: 2,000 years of war, misery, destruction and annihilation. Millions of serious casualties. In the atomic age it is now high time we reversed this motto: “If you want peace, you must prepare for peace.” This means disarming instead of rearming.” —Dalai Lama    Inner peace in the minds of human beings is the only foundation upon which a last outer peace--a world without war--is possible. The way to heal ourselves and society is the same. Loving-kindness and compassion are the antidotes to anger and hatred. A powerful antidote to anger is to accept people as they are. Another is having compassion for their struggles and personality quirks. We all have a personality quirk or two…Thich Nhat Hanh says that "We are challenged to apply an antidote as soon as anger arises, because of the far-reaching social effects of individual anger."    A profound understanding of interdependence arises when we see others with compassion and take universal responsibility for the correlation between our inner peace and outer, or world peace. The vast web of life is such that the action of one person reverberates across the entire web. Do we have a universal responsibility to end the war within ourselves as an act of nonviolence and peace for the whole world?   Always wide awake  Are the disciples of Gotama  Whose minds constantly, day and night,  Delight in harmlessness. -Buddha, The Dhammapada   If you are interested in learning how you can work with JoAnn Fox as a Life/Spiritual Coach, visit https://buddhismforeveryone.com/coaching   References and Links   Buddha.The Dhammapada.

Now, Dhammapada

Below, in support of the episode is the text of the Now, Dhammapada manuscript:PrefaceWhat follows are not the words of the Buddha. This book contains concentrated wisdom for individuals' lives. This Dhammapada is not a belief system. In fact, who can truly attest to what the historical Buddha said with the exception of Sidharta Gotama? And Sid died about 2500 odd years ago, so the truth is this nor that is what was actually said. That said, I just got to say something…. so Now, Dhammapada.One can take a cue from these words and text and test them out, follow the recipe as if the textual indications are instructions to put into action, to see for yourself if they are accurately applicable you your life. This is what I have done and continue to do and you can do it too! You can learn, develop and know a sublimely peaceful way of life still full of brightness and at times excitement.The Dhammapada has proven to me, by way of practice based upon the various translations I have read over the years, to be a fascinating and informative reminder of what to remember, what to do and what to remember again. It is not a dogmatic work, it is concise set of practices, contemplations and actions to live.  A happier, healthier and continuingly brighter way of life comes along with this practice. But it is a practice: something you do over and over again, with others.This book is a work created from experience based in part on various scholarly sources and various contemporary takes on scholarly sources all called Dhammapada. Numerous translations from various Pali versions are at the root of the source. Now, Dhammapada is therefor an interpretation of many English translations of various Pali sources of what is the most popular “title” of the vast Pali canon, tested and thus interpreted for today's world.The Pali canon is made up of tens of thousands of onion-skin-thin English language pages. Forty-odd volumes of words recorded as being the teachings of the historical Buddha, Sid Gotama, a rebel of his time who taught for over forty-five years around the Ganga in the North of India. A human who died, soon after a disagreeable meal, at the age of approximately eighty years of age Gotama was and is a phenomenon. Some people take Gotama to be divine and a creator of a religion. I however take the person variously called Gotama, Sid, or Buddha in this Dhammapada to have been someone who lived a life of early suffering. The Tathagata, a term the historical Buddha, reportedly used to describe self and which has been translated to mean one who has come and one who has gone, taught to different audiences skillfully. Which means that Gotama tailored the teachings to the audience of the moment. If the Tathagata was speaking to monastics he would explain things in a certain way that may not come down again when he was speaking to lay people or to his biological son.  Basically, in the parlance of today the Buddha would say I've done that and now I am doing better, I'm sort of a big deal. You are too. Do better for yourself and for others— even those you don't like or fear. You are the biggest deal at this moment in your actual life— get over it!Sid ultimately refined the teachings he received in his time and practiced a way that he in turn taught to many individuals from various social classes. This way was not totally foreign to many of the existing teachings of the time however the Buddha's path of how to be happy, free and connected to the greater reality of existence was far more egalitarian than the hierarchical Brahman ways —the norms at that time. Sid not only taught this way of recognizing the suffering brought on by unskillful living and how to move beyond suffering and even pain, but he also established a way of living in parallel with the world that is not living in this way yet is still connected and mutually beneficial to all living beings.

In this episode, we look at the meaning of going for refuge. Typically when we think of refuge, it means a source of protection. Refuge is comfort and safety in the storm. The way a person becomes a Buddhist is by going for refuge to the Three Jewels: Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Someone enters into Buddhism by seeking a solution to their pain or problems in the Dharma, or the teachings. The refuge we speak of is actually the experience of finding a solution to our suffering through the practice of a teaching. The other two Jewels of Refuge are Buddha--the source of the teachings--and Sangha, the spiritual community that supports our practice.    We have been seeking temporary refuge since we first cried in pain or hunger. The first thing we turned to for refuge was our mother. When we were suffering and could not yet speak, she tried to discover the source of our pain and solve it for us. Since then, we have adopted so many sources of refuge. Some things we have come to turn to in an effort to alleviate our pain may even cause us more confusion and pain.  We can distinguish between temporary refuge and ultimate refuge. Ultimate refuge meets certain criteria: It doesn't cause any unwanted side effects or more problems It makes us feel peaceful  It predictably makes us feel peaceful everytime we turn to it It addresses the real cause of the problem We can check whether something is temporary refuge by examining how we are trying to solve a certain problem or feel better in a situation. For example, if someone is uncomfortable in a social situation and drinks a lot of alcohol to quell their anxiety-- it may cause a lot of unwanted side effects, from a hangover to some regrettable behavior. By contrast, ultimate refuge is when we turn to wisdom to help us solve our problem or feel better. For example, if a close family member irritates us, we might try to look at the situation differently and develop compassion for them. Everytime we feel compassion for them in a circumstance that would normally annoy us, and our mind remains peaceful rather than upset, we have sought an ultimate refuge. Ultimate refuge, life Refuge in the Three Jewels, is turning inward to solve our problems. We become an inner being, with the tools to transform any external situation.  Always wide awake  Are the disciples of Gotama  Who constantly, day and night,  Are mindful of the Buddha.

Queste Riflessioni di Dharma sulle montagne si basano sugli insegnamenti del Buddha. Infatti il Buddha cita spesso elementi della natura, e tra questi le montagne. Il Buddha stesso è nato in un luogo estremamente montuoso, vicino all'Himalaya, quindi aveva conoscenza diretta della grandiosità e maestosità delle più alte montagne del mondo. Per il Beato, le montagne sono un esempio di impermanenza: anche i più grandi monti, che sembra del tutto stabili, immutabili, indistruttibili, sono soggetti a distruzione. In un sutta particolarmente efficace, il Sattasūriyasutta o Sutta dei Sette Soli, il Buddha fa immaginare un crescendo di distruzione, dovuto alla siccità e all'apparizione progressiva di sette soli che alla fine distruggono tutto: Sineru, il re delle montagne, è lungo 84.000 leghe e largo 84.000. Affonda 84.000 leghe sotto l'oceano e sale 84.000 leghe sopra di esso.  Arriva un momento in cui, dopo un periodo molto lungo, la pioggia non cade. Per molti anni, molte centinaia, molte migliaia, molte centinaia di migliaia di anni non piove.  Quando ciò accade, le piante e i semi, i cespugli, l'erba e i grandi alberi appassiscono e si seccano e non ci sono più.  Le condizioni sono così impermanenti,  così instabili, così inaffidabili.  Questo è abbastanza per farti diventare disillusi, spassionati e liberati da tutte le condizioni. [...]Viene il tempo in cui, trascorso un lunghissimo periodo, appare un settimo sole.  Quando ciò accade, questa grande terra e Sineru il re delle montagne eruttano in una massa di fuoco ardente.  E mentre ardono e bruciano, le fiamme vengono portate dal vento fino al regno di Brahma.  Sineru il re delle montagne divampa e brucia, sgretolandosi mentre viene sopraffatto dal grande fuoco. E intanto cime montuose alte cento leghe, o due, tre, quattro o cinquecento leghe, si disintegrano mentre bruciano.  E quando la grande terra e Sineru, il re dei monti, ardono e bruciano, non si trova né fuliggine né cenere.  È come quando il burro chiarificato o l'olio bruciano e non si trovano né cenere né fuliggine.  Allo stesso modo, quando la grande terra e Sineru, il re delle montagne, ardono e bruciano, non si trova né fuliggine né cenere.  Così impermanenti sono le condizioni,  così instabili sono le condizioni, così inaffidabili sono le condizioni.  Questo è abbastanza per farti diventare disilluso, spassionato e liberato da tutte le condizioni.Sattasūriyasutta, AN 7.66 Eppure questo non deve indurci alla tristezza e all'angoscia. Infatti il sutta si conclude con dei versi che indicano il modo per non essere condizionati da quello che succede nel mondo: Etica, concentrazione meditativa e saggezza,  e la libertà suprema:  queste cose sono state comprese da Gotama il famoso. E così il Buddha, avendo avuto le intuizioni profonde,  spiegò questo insegnamento ai mendicanti.  Il Maestro ha posto fine alla sofferenza;  vedendo chiaramente, non rinascerà.Sattasūriyasutta, AN 7.66 E ancora un insegnamento simile viene dato con riferimento ai fiumi, nel Nadī Sutta, SN 22.93: “Immaginate, monaci, un grande fiume in piena, e con il suo flusso impetuoso trascinasse tutto con sè. Sulle sue sponde crescessero canna da zucchero selvatica, erba kusa, canne, vetiver o arbusti e una persona fosse trascinata dalla corrente e afferrasse la canna da zucchero selvatica, l'erba kusa, le canne, il vetiver o gli arbusti, queste si spezzerebbero e per questo andrebbe incontro a rovina.Allo stesso modo, una persona comune non istruita non ha conosciuto i nobili, e non è né esperta né pratica il Dhamma dei nobili. Non ha conosciuto i saggi e non è né esperta né pratica il Dhamma dei saggi. Considera la forma come il Sé, il Sé come avente forma, la forma nel Sé o il Sé nella forma. Ma quella forma si rompe e per questo va in rovina. Considera la sensazione … la percezione … le formazioni mentali … la coscienza come il Sé, il Sé come avente coscienza, la coscienza nel Sé o il Sé nella coscienza. Ma quella coscienza si rompe e per questo va in rovina.Cosa pensate, monaci? La forma è permanente o impermanente?” “Impermanente, signore.” … “La sensazione … la percezione … le formazioni mentali … la coscienza è permanente o impermanente?” “Impermanente, signore.”“Quindi dovete realmente comprendere … Comprendendo questo … si comprende: ‘… non ci saranno altre esistenze future.'” Nadī Sutta, SN 22.93 Di questo si parla nella registrazione, buon ascolto!

"Wisdom 1. Understanding — There are two aspects of skillful understanding, the first is the recursive inclusion of the Four Noble Truths. That is, the last of the four truths refers to the eightfold path, and the first of the eightfold path refers to the four truths. Such tying of these ideas together may seem redundant, but really attests to the criticality of understanding the problem at hand as an important step in seeking ways to address it. The second aspect of skillful understanding is that of karma, or “volitional action”, which was a significant departure from the predominant view of the Brahmin religion of Gotama's time. Rather that being seen as a ritualistic purification of one's spiritual self by a religiously sanctified intermediary, karma was instead altered to be self empowered pragmatic action to impact one's life. As we can see in the world, our actions lead to outcomes. Gotama suggested the critical factor in cause and effect was the ethical quality of our intentional actions, and that such actions would come to fruition in like ways. Seen from the naturalist perspective, words and deeds and even mental states of kindness and compassion tend to have more beneficial results than their negative counterparts, and these effects in turn condition further results. 2. Intention — In keeping with Gotama's idea of the key role played by intent on the quality of what we say and do, the second part of Wisdom is around the kinds of skillful intention more likely to produce beneficial results. Primarily, Buddhism encourages a less grasping and more generous attitude, positive intent or good will, and a transparent interest in not causing harm. Note that these are not empty admonishments, but demonstrable factors that can create the conditions of a better life. Ethical Behavior 3. Speech — Perhaps the most challenging steps on the Buddhist path is the first aspect of ethical behavior, that of skillful speech. The most coarse examples of this are speaking truthfully, in ways that foster harmony, with gentleness, and in a constructive and open fashion rather than less constructive ways like gossip. This is not limited to the spoken word, however, and can mean any means through which we communicate, including the written word, body language, and our very expressions. We should also endeavor to initiate communication when our intention is positive, and do our best to select the right time to speak. The acronym THINK, standing for is it True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, and Kind, is a good rule of thumb. 4. Action — The second component to ethical behavior is around our physical acts, building on the theme of positive intent. Again, we see guidance to take no actions that have a reasonable expectation of harmful results. Generous actions rather than taking what is not given or outright theft is also encouraged, as is careful consideration in our sexual engagements. 5. Livelihood — The third aspect of ethical behavior pertains to how we make a living, suggesting that we not use the constraints of working in a particular role as an excuse for not adhering to the ideals of leading a constructive and beneficial life. Of course there is a much greater diversity of careers in today's world than in Gotama's time, and one should consider the results of one's job with a critical eye of Skillful Intention as a guide." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

There have been several traditions of Buddhism that have spawned from his original teachings. All traditions of Buddhism respect Gotama Buddha for his teachings, but due to impermanence affecting everything in life, there are several influences from various traditions and the teachings of Gotama Buddha have been modified since the time of his death.

When Siddhartha and Govinda arrive in Savathi, they learn from a woman who gives these two Samanas food that the Buddha is in the Jetavana grove that was given to him by Anathapindika. That night they arrive and sleep, awakened at dawn by the bustling activity around them from the Buddha's followers who wear yellow monk robes. There are also newcomers like themselves who have arrived to hear his teachings. Everything around them in the grove is lush garden and trees. Finally the Buddha emerges and joins his followers as they go out to beg in the town's streets in order to buy their one meal for the day. Buddha's appearance is different from those around him, however, for he radiates a certain inner glow that Siddhartha admires greatly. Although he is doubtful of what this man's words can teach him, the Gotama himself remains an impressive person to look at. Finally Govinda and his companion hear the Buddha's words about finding salvation from suffering in life, his four main points, and the interconnectedness of the life cycle. Many people who listen are excited, and when night arrives, they join Buddha's followers. Without waiting to hear Siddhartha's advice, Govinda decides to become a disciple and remain with him in the Jetavana grove. He urges Siddhartha to join so that he might "put an end to the suffering," repeating Buddha's words. Yet Siddhartha is doubtful of new teachings and considers Govinda's choice to be premature. Learning is a "detour" away from knowledge he already possesses within him. Nothing in the outside world knows him better than he already knows himself. He does not seek to end suffering, but instead desires to recognize Atman, the essence of what everything is. He searches for the meaning of life.

The novel is set six centuries before the birth of Christ, in ancient India at the time of Gotama the Buddha, whose Eightfold Path guides the faithful toward Nirvana. Siddhartha is a young Brahmin, handsome and learned, with the potential to be a prince among his caste members. Everyone knows he is destined for greatness because he has mastered all the rituals and wisdom of his religion at an early age. His village is idyllic, and Siddhartha seems to live an enviable life. His father is a Brahmin, a religious leader, and an esteemed member of the community. Siddhartha seems well on his way to following in his father's footsteps. Though Siddhartha spends his time studying the Hindu wisdom of his elders along with his best friend Govinda, he is dissatisfied. He suspects that his father and the other erudite Brahmins have learned perfectly everything from the holy books, but he does not believe they have achieved enlightenment. The rituals and mantras they have taught him to seem more a matter of custom than a real path that could lead to true enlightenment. To become religious men by the standards of their own community, Siddhartha feels he and Govinda would have to become like sheep in a large herd, following predetermined rituals and patterns without ever questioning those methods or exploring methods beyond the ones they know. Siddhartha is deeply unhappy at this prospect. Though he loves his father and respects the people of his village, he cannot imagine himself existing in this way. Siddhartha has followed his father's example with conviction, but still, he longs for something more. One evening after meditating, Siddhartha announces to Govinda that he will join a group of Samanas, wandering mendicant priests, who have just passed through their city. The Samanas are starved, half-naked, and must beg for food, but only because they believe enlightenment can be reached through asceticism, a rejection of the body and physical desire. The Samanas seem completely different from the religious elders in Siddhartha's own community, and since he has not found the wisdom he has been searching for at home, he decides he should follow the Samanas' path and see what he can learn from them. When Siddhartha informs Govinda that he will join the Samanas, Govinda is frightened. He knows Siddhartha is taking his first step into the world and that Govinda himself must follow. Siddhartha, a dutiful son, asks his father for permission before leaving with the Samanas. His father is disappointed and says he does not want to hear the question a second time, but Siddhartha does not move. The father cannot sleep and gets up every hour to find Siddhartha standing with crossed arms in the darkness. In the morning, his father reluctantly gives permission. He knows Siddhartha will not change his mind. He asks that Siddhartha return home to teach his father the art of bliss if he finds it elsewhere. As he leaves to join the wandering Samanas, Siddhartha is pleased and surprised to learn that Govinda has decided to join him in this new life outside the village.

Siddhartha is a novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha. The book, Hesse's ninth novel, was written in German, in a simple, lyrical style. It was published in the U.S. in 1951 and became influential during the 1960s. Hesse dedicated the first part of it to Romain Rolland and the second part to Wilhelm Gundert, his cousin. The word Siddhartha is made up of two words in Sanskrit language, siddha (achieved) + artha (what was searched for), which together means "he who has found meaning (of existence)" or "he who has attained his goals". In fact, the Buddha's own name, before his renunciation, was Siddhartha Gautama, Prince of Kapilavastu. In this book, the Buddha is referred to as "Gotama".

LEARN - (Chapter 2) - Why Study Gotama Buddha's Teachings? The basic premise for anyone who might consider studying Gotama Buddha's teachings to attain Nibbana is the following… Life is unsatisfactory and in life we all experience "discontentedness or suffering". To be motivated to study and practice Gotama Buddha's teachings and thus spend lots of time and effort, the world must be "shocked" into not being so comfortable with "what is" and be able to see "what is the future if more and more humans attain Nibbana”. If all humans see the world as a happy, delightful, and a comfortable place to exist, there is no motivation to do anything to improve life. Thus, one must feel very uncomfortable with life and its existence in order to be motivated to study, learn, implement, and gain the results of Gotama Buddha's teachings. The results are a liberated mind and a pure mind, Nibbana. You may have experienced happiness and excitement in your life but you have also experienced a lot of pain and suffering that you would not want to repeat. Gotama Buddha's goal was to provide teachings that gave the mind a place where it could be permanently peaceful, calm, serene, and content with joy. The mental state of Nibbana will completely eliminate discontentedness of the mind, for every human.

La profunda pregunta de qué es el Zen está asentada en tres principios que sostienen el espíritu del estudiante que se sienta a meditar en silencio: Gran Duda Gran Fe Gran Determinación Estos principios resumen y expresan la experiencia misma del Buddha histórico, el príncipe Gotama, hace más de 2500 años. El príncipe abandonó su palacio a los 28 años, y tras 6 años de intensas prácticas ascéticas, encontró que el camino de la extrema pobreza y ascetismo era tan estéril como el camino de las riquezas, que había experimentado en su infancia y adolescencia en el seno de una familia rica del clan de los Shakya. Gotama, o Shakyamuni, como se le llamaba, decidió alimentarse nuevamente y continuar su indagación sin herir su cuerpo y mente. Luego de un período intenso de meditación alcanzó una experiencia que le iluminó. La gran duda o indagación, la gran fe y confianza, y la firme determinación, guiaron al Buddha histórico hacia la comprensión de su naturaleza fundamental. Fuente: http://www.zen-vientodelsur.com.ar

In my first ever guest appearance on a podcast my friend, mentor, and podcasting accountability partner Nick Zolfo and I really broke down my 10-day Vipassana meditation course the day after I completed my course in Thailand. For those of you that don’t know, Vipassana is a technique developed by Gotama the Buddha 2500 years ago. The word Vipassana means seeing things as they really are. Vipassana is about removing the root of your impurities through self observation and mastery of the mind with the goal of happiness and liberation from suffering.     I decided to ask for permission to publish our episode directly into People of Purpose. Not because of this feat that I genuinely am proud to have accomplished, but because I hope it nudges you to do a course yourself. I think one mark of my success after leaving the course is if I can do my part to get the people I love and respect and wish the best to do a ten day course of their own!          ------------Reccommended Resources:--------------       My Teacher S.N.

Im heutigen Podcast gibt es einen kleinen Einblick in das Thema Vipassana und was ich während dieser 10 Tage erlebt habe... Vipassana ist eine der ältesten Meditationstechniken Indiens und bedeutet soviel wie die Dinge zu sehen, wie sie wirklich sind". Vipassana wurde in Indien vor über 2500 Jahren von Gotama, dem Buddha, wiederentdeckt und von ihm als ein universelles Heilmittel gegen universelle Krankheiten, als eine Kunst zu leben gelehrt. Keiner bestimmten Religion zugehörig, strebt diese Technik, die vollständige Beseitigung geistiger Unreinheiten und letztendlich das Glück vollkommener Befreiung an. Vipassana ist ein Weg der Selbstveränderung durch Selbstbeobachtung. Der Fokus liegt auf der tiefen Wechselbeziehung zwischen Körper und Geist, die durch eine geschulte, auf die körperlichen Empfindungen gerichtete Achtsamkeit auf direktem Wege erfahren werden kann. Diese Empfindungen bestimmen das Leben des Körpers und beeinflussen so im ständigen Wechselspiel die Konditionierung des Geistes. Die auf eigene Beobachtung gründende, selbsterforschende Reise zu dem gemeinsamen Ursprung von Geist und Körper löst die geistigen Unreinheiten auf und führt zu einem ausgeglichenen Geist voller Liebe und Mitgefühl. Die Naturgesetze, die unser Denken, unsere Gefühle, unsere Urteile und Empfindungen steuern, werden eindeutig erkennbar. Durch direkte Erfahrung wird verständlich, wie man Fortschritte oder Rückschritte macht, wie man Leiden schafft oder sich vom Leiden befreit. Gesteigerte Achtsamkeit, das Erkennen von Illusionen, Selbstkontrolle und Frieden werden zu Kennzeichen des eigenen Lebens.

In this episode, I share my experience from my second visit to the California Vipassana Center where I recently sat for a 10 day silent meditation retreat.  I discuss meditation, and how to start and maintain a practice. Vipassana is one of the world's most ancient meditative techniques. It was practiced 25 centuries ago by Gotama the Buddha, who said he had rediscovered a much older practice. After his enlightenment in 528 BCE, the Buddha spent the remaining 45 years of his life teaching the way out of suffering. Vipassana is the essence of what he taught. The Buddha's teaching is known by the general term Dhamma (Sanskrit: Dharma). For five centuries Vipassana helped millions of people in India, the Buddha's homeland. This era saw the matchless reign of the great Emperor Asoka (273-236 BCE) who united India and initiated a golden age of peace and prosperity. Asoka also sent ambassadors of Dhamma to all the neighboring kingdoms (including what has become Myanmar in modern times), thereby spreading both the practice and the words of the Buddha. After about 500 years the practice of Vipassana had disappeared from India. Fortunately it was maintained by a continuous chain of meditation teachers in the neighboring country of Myanmar (Burma) until the present day. In our time, Vipassana has been reintroduced to India and to people from all over the world by S. N. Goenka, a retired industrialist of Indian heritage who was born in Myanmar. He learned the technique of Vipassana from Sayagyi U Ba Khin, the renowned lay Vipassana teacher who was the first to teach westerners in English. U Ba Khin appointed him to teach Vipassana in 1969.    If you like what you hear, please subscribe, rate and review on iTunes.

Our passage from the Word of God today is 1 Timothy 4:13 which reads: "Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine." Our quote today is from Frederick Douglas. He said: "Once you learn to read, you will be forever free." Our first topic for today is "Spirituality as Quest, Part 14" from the book, "Literature and Spirituality" by Yaw Adu-Gyamfi and Mark Ray Schmidt. We are continuing our selection from Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha: The Ferryman (Part 7) Kamala never stopped looking into his eyes. She thought about her pilgrimage to Gotama, which wanted to take, in order to see the face of the perfected one, to breathe his peace, and she thought that she had now found him in his place, and that it was good, just as good, as if she had seen the other one. She wanted to tell this to him, but the tongue no longer obeyed her will. Without speaking, she looked at him, and he saw the life fading from her eyes. When the final pain filled her eyes and made them grow dim, when the final shiver ran through her limbs, his finger closed her eyelids. ... Our second topic for today is "Reading a Story, Part 18" from the book, "Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, Drama, and Writing" by X. J. Kennedy and Dana Gioia. We are continuing our selection of John Updike's short story, "A & P": A & P (Part 4) All this while, the customers had been showing up with their carts but, you know, sheep, seeing a scene, they had all bunched up on Stokesie, who shook open a paper bag as gently as peeling a peach, not wanting to miss a word. I could feel in the silence everybody getting nervous, most of all Lengel, who asks me, "Sammy, have you rung up this purchase?" I thought and said "No" but it wasn't about that I was thinking. I go through the punches, 4, 9, GROC, TOT -- it's more complicated than you think, and after you do it often enough, it begins to make a lttle song, that you hear words to, in my case "Hello (bing) there, you (gung) hap-py pee-pul (splat)"-the splat being the drawer flying out. I uncrease the bill, tenderly as you may imagine, it just having come from between the two smoothest scoops of vanilla I had ever known were there, and pass a half and a penny into her narrow pink palm, and nestle the herrings in a bag and twist its neck and hand it over, all the time thinking. ...

Our passage from the Word of God today is Psalm 45:1 which reads: "My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer." Our quote today is from Lafcadio Hearn. He said: "For this reason, to study English literature without some general knowledge of the relation of the Bible to that literature would be to leave one's literary education very incomplete." Our first topic for today is "Spirituality as Quest, Part 12" from the book, "Literature and Spirituality" by Yaw Adu-Gyamfi and Mark Ray Schmidt. We are continuing our selection from Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha: The Ferryman (Part 5) The years passed by, and nobody counted them. Then, at one time, monks came by on a pilgrimage, followers of Gotama the Buddha, who were asking to be ferried across the river, and by them the ferrymen were told that they were were most hurriedly walking back to their great teacher, for the news had spread the exalted one was deadly sick and would soon die his last human death, in order to become one with the salvation. It was not long, until a new flock of monks came along on their pilgrimage, and another one, and the monks as well as most of the other travellers and people walking through the land spoke of nothing else than of Gotama and his impending death. And as people are flocking from everywhere and from all sides, when they are going to war or to the coronation of a king, and are gathering like ants in droves, thus they flocked, like being drawn on by a magic spell, to where the great Buddha was awaiting his death, where the huge event was to take place and the great perfected one of an era was to become one with the glory. Often, Siddhartha thought in those days of the dying wise man, the great teacher, whose voice had admonished nations and had awoken hundreds of thousands, whose voice he had also once heard, whose holy face he had also once seen with respect. Kindly, he thought of him, saw his path to perfection before his eyes, and remembered with a smile those words which he had once, as a young man, said to him, the exalted one. They had been, so it seemed to him, proud and precocious words; with a smile, he remembered them. For a long time he knew that there was nothing standing between Gotama and him any more, though he was still unable to accept his teachings. No, there was no teaching a truly searching person, someone who truly wanted to find, could accept. But he who had found, he could approve of any teachings, every path, every goal, there was nothing standing between him and all the other thousand any more who lived in that what is eternal, who breathed what is divine. ...

We are continuing our selection of John Updike's short story, "A & P": A & P (Part 2) She must have felt in the corner of her eye me and over my shoulder Stokesie in the second slot watching, but she didn't tip. Not this queen. She kept her eyes moving across the racks, and stopped, and turned so slow it made my stomach rub the inside of my apron, and buzzed to the other two, who kind of huddled against her for relief, and they all three of them went up the cat-and-dog-food-breakfast-cereal-macaroni-ri ce-raisins-seasonings-spreads-spaghetti-soft drinks- rackers-and- cookies aisle. From the third slot I look straight up this aisle to the meat counter, and I watched them all the way. The fat one with the tan sort of fumbled with the cookies, but on second thought she put the packages back. The sheep pushing their carts down the aisle -- the girls were walking against the usual traffic (not that we have one-way signs or anything) -- were pretty hilarious. You could see them, when Queenie's white shoulders dawned on them, kind of jerk, or hop, or hiccup, but their eyes snapped back to their own baskets and on they pushed. I bet you could set off dynamite in an A & P and the people would by and large keep reaching and checking oatmeal off their lists and muttering "Let me see, there was a third thing, began with A, asparagus, no, ah, yes, applesauce!" or whatever it is they do mutter. But there was no doubt, this jiggled them. A few house-slaves in pin curlers even looked around after pushing their carts past to make sure what they had seen was correct. You know, it's one thing to have a girl in a bathing suit down on the beach, where what with the glare nobody can look at each other much anyway, and another thing in the cool of the A & P, under the fluorescent lights, against all those stacked packages, with her feet paddling along naked over our checkerboard green-and-cream rubber-tile floor. ...
