In diesem Teisho schildert Christoph Rei Ho Hatlapa die Entwicklung des Buddhismus vom rein monastischen Theravāda-Weg über das Vimalakīrti-Sūtra, in dessen Mittelpunkt ein auseinandersetzungsfreudiger Laie steht, hin zum Mahayana-Buddhismus, der das Ideal des Arhat in das des Bodhisattva transformiert. Letztere haben das Erwachen in ihrem Leben verwirklicht, verzichten aber auf den Eintritt ins Nirvana und stehen stattdessen allen fühlenden Wesen zur Seite, damit auch diese zum Erwachen gelangen. Im Koan 89 des Hekinganroku wird Avalokiteshvara erwähnt, der große Bodhisattva der Barmherzigkeit. Beim Zuhören erkannte er, dass dieser Prozess in das Abwesende eingebettet ist, als ein Feld des Mitgefühls, das alles miteinander verbindet. Indem sich Avalokiteshvara beim Zuhören darauf konzentrierte, ermöglichte er den Wesen, dem Klang ihrer eigenen Stimme zu lauschen und sich selbst zu verstehen. Dieses raumgebende Zuhören bezeichnete der Buddha als den besten Weg zur Erleuchtung. Dabei tritt Avalokiteshvara mit seinem ganzen Körper in einen offenen und wahrhaftigen Kontakt mit seinem Gegenüber, der immer auf der Verbindung mit dem Abwesenden beruht. Diesem Fluidum der Grenzenlosigkeit, aus dem wir alle hervorgehen und zu dem wir alle zurückkehren, nähern wir uns im tiefen Samadhi während der Zazen-Übung.

This episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, When You Know Samadhi explores the philosophical and practical aspects of meditation within the framework of Kriya Yoga and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The main topics include: The Purpose of Meditation Meditation is presented not as a relaxation technique but as a means to access one's true, timeless essence. The goal is the cessation of mental fluctuations to recognize the stillness and fullness at the core of being. Commitment to Practice The importance of long-term dedication is emphasized. Students are encouraged to remain engaged with the practices over time, as deep realization requires persistent application rather than brief exposure. Letting Go of the Ego True yoga involves dissolving the ego—the "personage" that clings to identity and personality. The path is one of surrender and relinquishment of attachments to fully experience spiritual freedom. Outer and Inner Limbs of Yoga The essay delineates between the outer practices (yamas, niyamas, asana, pranayama, pratyahara) and the inner practices (dharana, dhyana, samadhi). Mastery of the outer limbs is seen as foundational for accessing the inner experiences. The Mechanics of Meditation Meditation (dhyana) is defined as uninterrupted focus on a single object. This focus must be maintained for 12 breaths to be considered meditation, and 144 breaths to reach samadhi. These thresholds offer a concrete structure for understanding meditative depth. Modern Distractions and Spiritual Focus The essay criticizes modern distractions like social media and “spiritual doom scrolling.” Instead, it advocates for focused, authentic engagement with traditional texts and practices to cultivate concentration and spiritual discipline. Spiritual Transformation and Evolution Spiritual growth is described as a transformation akin to evolution—from human to divine being (deva). This requires pouring the energy and habits of the old self into a new, higher mode of being. One-Pointedness and Daily Practice One-pointed focus (ekagrata) is vital not only in meditation but in daily activities. Practicing concentrated awareness throughout life enhances the capacity for deeper meditation.

Yoga is the art of skillful action, awakened through intention and loving awareness. An intention draws us toward love, truth, and creativity, reflecting on what truly matters—what we care about, desire, and long for. Our intention is like planting a seed within us, which requires nurturing and care. In practice, we tend to our inner landscape as a gardener tends to a garden, removing negative thoughts (weeds), cultivating positive growth, and enriching our mental soil. As we nurture our intention, it grows strong, rooted in the challenges we face and the lessons we learn. By embodying virtues such as faith (Shraddha), courage (Vidya), remembrance (Smriti), absorption (Samadhi), and wisdom (Prajna), we align with our deepest truth, empowering us toward fulfillment and joy. Embrace your intention, allowing it to guide you with loving awareness, and grow into a balanced, harmonious life.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

Os Valores Humanos - Discurso de Sathya Sai Baba - 20-11-1993 completoHere's a brief biography of Sathya Sai Baba:Full Name: Sathyanarayana RajuBorn: November 23, 1926, in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, IndiaDied: April 24, 2011, in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, IndiaNationality: IndianOccupation: Spiritual leader, philanthropist, and guruSathya Sai Baba was born as Sathyanarayana Raju in a modest Telugu-speaking family. From a young age, he was known for his spiritual inclinations, wisdom beyond his age, and miraculous abilities, such as materializing objects like vibhuti (sacred ash). At the age of 14, he declared himself the reincarnation of Sai Baba of Shirdi, a revered saint from Maharashtra who had died in 1918.Sathya Sai Baba taught the unity of all religions and emphasized the five core human values:Truth (Sathya)Right Conduct (Dharma)Peace (Shanti)Love (Prema)Non-violence (Ahimsa)He encouraged his followers to lead selfless lives, practice devotion to God, and engage in service to humanity. His motto was:“Love All, Serve All. Help Ever, Hurt Never.”He was widely known for performing miracles, including healings, materializations of sacred ash and jewelry, and bilocations. While many devotees saw these as signs of divinity, skeptics and critics accused him of sleight of hand and deception. Despite this, he retained a massive global following.Sathya Sai Baba established a vast spiritual and humanitarian network. Key institutions include:Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning (University)Sri Sathya Sai Super Specialty Hospitals (providing free healthcare)Free education and drinking water projects across IndiaHis organization has centers in over 100 countries, promoting spiritual growth and community service.Sai Baba passed away on April 24, 2011, at age 84.

Today returning on Sense of Soul we have Padma Aon Prakasha he is an evolutionary catalyst and wisdom author bringing together ancient wisdom and modern science. Padma's books, music and multimedia are drawn from the traditions he has been initiated into. His books include: The Power of Shakti, Womb Wisdom, Sacred Relationships (Inner Traditions), The Christ Blueprint, The Nine Eyes of Light: Ascension Keys from Egypt (NAB/Random House), Dimensions of Love, Shiva's Hologram: The Maheshwara Sutra and The Science of Sound (O Books). Since 1997 he has presented, lectured and taught in 20 countries worldwide.  After being initiated into the Brahmin lineage at age 4, he read the Bhagavad Gita followed by the Bible at age 7 and a whole host of spiritual teachings by age 11. When he was 21 he had an experience of the AUM and God Consciousness that changed his life forever, followed by a direct and unexpected meeting with Christ Yeshua. Shortly after this, Padma was initiated in India through a Near Death Experience in Badrinath by Master Babaji, and into the Saivite Lineage in Kedarnath. Further Initiations into Saivite Tantra and the RK Veda through the Arunachala Sampradaya and Ganesha followed. Padma was also Initiated into Tibetan Tantras through female teachers Prem Prabhuta and Margot Anand, and is an Initiate in the Order of Melchizedek. Padma's most powerful ‘formal' Initiations came through Sri Om, an Awakened teacher in London from the Lineage of Buddha Maitreya, associated with the enlightened wisdom of many traditions. After this, Padma sat in Samadhi, the highest form of bliss meditation, for two months, 16 hours a day. Samadhi activates the pineal gland and many dormant gifts within us, which Padma then demonstrated through his numerous books, workshops and transmissions over the ensuing years. https://padmaaon.com Visit www.senseofsoulpodcast.com

El proceso de autoconocimiento es aquel en el que nos devolvemos en el proceso de la creación para poder conectar con la conciencia absoluta, aquello que somos en esencia. En este episodio hablaremos de ese estado de conexión absoluta al que se le llama Samadhi en la filosofía yogui. ¡Espero te inspire!

Patanjali, an ancient Indian sage, is credited with authoring foundational texts in Sanskrit grammar (Mahābhāṣya), yoga philosophy (Yoga Sutras), and possibly medicine (Patanjalatantra). Revered as a mystic and philosopher, his works laid the groundwork for classical yoga and linguistics, profoundly influencing Indian philosophical traditions. Though scholarly debates persist about his identity, Patanjali remains a significant figure in Hinduism, particularly in yoga and linguistic studies.

This month, we will do the backstroke through Master Dogen's Ocean Mudra Samādhi (Kai'in Zanmai 海印三昧). His wild wordplay is a powerful expression of who we are in the universe, time, being and bringing to life our swimming through life by swimming gracefully.

Epilogue: Manjushri's Burden from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner I SET THE CHAIN SAW down on the stump of the tree which I had just felled and sat down on the log to drink from my canteen. It was the very same orange water bag I had purchased to take with me to India two years ago. I looked up through the bare November trees at the sun edging toward the apex of its low autumn arc. Then I looked at the piles of cordwood I'd accumulated along the road during the past months. There would certainly be enough for the stoves before the first snowfall. Satisfied, I picked up my saw and headed back to the house. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 20 minutes 58 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Ch. 14 - Time Past and Time Present from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner DELHI HOT LIKE A KILN. I wandered through empty streets at midday making final connections. London like a plunge into ice water, only hours later. I stood shivering in the transit lounge, my thin wool shawl wrapped tight around my shoulders, my socks incongruous in Indian sandals, even more incongruous in white pajama clothes, amidst fur and leather coats, heavy sweaters and fat, flushed, liquor-stained faces. I was emaciated by comparison. Crash landing in Boston, hours late. Time sense destroyed. I slept last in Calcutta. A strange wakefulness haunted my body. Alert to ponderous events all around me, I followed my breath as a customs official began pawing through my bag. Suddenly he stopped and handed it back to me with an apologetic smile. I felt a rising thickness in my throat to get beyond that door. She would be waiting. At first she wasn't sure she could, but after letters back and forth, she'd finally agreed. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 34 minutes 47 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

We've talked about what the eight limbs of yoga are and where they came from (if you missed that episode just scroll a few back) but what is each limb's practical, energetic, and spiritual significance in modern life? From the ethical and personal observances of Yama and Niyama, respectively, to the physical aspects of Asana, the breath control of Pranayama, and the mental focus of Dharana. And of course how it all culminates in the exploration of Dhyana and Samadhi. The Eight Limbs are here to help you cut through the noise and come back to what really matters, this episode will explain how. Listen and learn:

Salvo by Randy Higgins PhD Amazon.com Randyleehigginsphd.com This book was written in the state of breathless Samadhi, on a cell phone. Pithy mystical aphorisms began arriving from "ourselves in the future". These future selves have survived the cataclysm we are currently undergoing and want to extend a hand to help us through the Apocalyptic labyrinth safely to the other side. This journey is not what is expected. The price of admission to the New Earth turns out to be realization of every terror we've ever imagined. Turns out, it was only ourselves we were afraid of in the first place! The final reward is the acceptance and embracing of this glorious terrifying Self. What we were looking for is what is looking for us. Randy was born in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. After graduating summa cum laude from Virginia Tech and receiving a master's degree in Family Therapy, he completed his doctoral degree at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto, CA. By far, most of his education was delivered by the "School of Hard Knocks." His gift is in seeing the miracle in everything, even in a tragedy -- even in the current global catastrophe. He is now back in the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the house he grew up in, where he is looking forward to growing old and dying. Or not.

Ch. 13 - The Essence is Anicca from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner THE TWO-BLADED FAN above my head cut ponderously through the thick, hot air. It was late April and the annual three-month heat wave was in full bloom in Madras. My own body temperature had gone amok with some indeterminate fever, and I'd spent the past three days in this hotel room waiting quietly for my illness to pass. It was a comfortable enough place to be sick, with its clean, white walls and stone floors, and outside, a balcony that overlooked gardened courtyards where huge trees reached up to the third tier of rooms. The dark and faintly musky atmosphere was almost Mediterranean. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 53 minutes 16 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Ch. 12 - The Great Blind Sea Turtle from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner ON MY RETURN TO the monastery from my brief journey out into the world, I had been warmly greeted by the head monk, Nyayaka Maha Thera, and by my two friends Bhikkhus Sunno and Ratanapala, who were convinced that I had returned for good. It was quite a homecoming. I asked Sunno if he might like to take a walk out to my hut one afternoon and have some tea so we could talk. He was quite pleased by the invitation and promised to visit me soon. The days went by, though, and he didn't come. One day after lunch, I sent the young boy who served me food back into the meditation quarters to fetch Sunno. I didn't think it proper for me simply to wander in there unexpectedly. Sunno appeared with a big smile, and after apologizing for not being able to make it to my kuti, invited me to his quarters. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 39 minutes 01 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

GTO Wizard - The best way to learn and practice GTO!Use this link to sign up: https://gtowizard.com/p/junglemanThis week I'm with Wayne Yap, who literally dominated the Asian poker scene as the former #1 in Singapore, stacking up over $1.3M in tournaments and $3M+ in cash games before making a hard left into business. Seriously, why would someone leave crushing it at the tables? We dug into applying hardcore poker thinking – the EV, the polarization – to the business world, and turns out, most business folks are missing this crucial stuff. He breaks down why you actually need to repel some people to attract the right ones, a wild concept that makes a lot of sense once you hear it.Beyond the strategy, we touched on some deep and unexpected territory: intense spiritual journeys, what it's really like buying and running businesses without prior experience, and the brutal lessons about who to trust along the way. If you've ever wondered if poker brains are wasted just playing cards, or how to find leverage and value in unconventional places, this is the conversation.Check out Wayne's X linked below for more unfiltered thoughts.https://x.com/wayneyapCHAPTERS00:00 - Wayne Yap: Poker Pro to Business Guru & Spiritual Explorer01:00 - The Spiritual Rabbit Hole: Meditation & Transcendent Experiences02:26 - Crushing Poker: Singapore's #1 and Big Wins03:08 - Why Leave Poker at the Peak?

Ch. 11 - The Path of Power from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner THE LIGHT OF GOD. Ishvara, the Lord. Divine Luminescence. Seen with the mind's eye only through a mind that can see. I stared with eyelids drawn immobile at an empty black background. The shimmering disk of cool brilliance was not an object but an event, which eyes cannot see. My attention stayed with my breath as it had for days, the tiny touch of my life against thin skin. The awareness on that single point was almost unbroken. That stillness of mind created the light, the light that cannot be seen, only known, until I felt the light, breathed light as a tingly, glowing star. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 24 minutes 23 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

This Dhamma talk was offered on May 4, 2025 at Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery.

Aleister Crowley was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, philosopher, political theorist, novelist, mountaineer, and painter. He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century. Most know of him from his occult celebrity built on the premise, "Do What Thou Will Is The Whole of The Law" but what about his other "secret" life as an agent for the British government? Join Joel as he unravels part 1 of Agent Crowley's mark on MK-Ultra as he explores Aleister's fascination with the Divine Cactus, or peyote. Crowley's experimentation with the plant in achieving Samadhi, or  “Union with God”, to connect with his Holy Guardian Angel to receive guidance. Early experiments from men like Charles Henry Allan Bennett, John Raleigh Briggs, George S. Davis, James Mooney, Dr. Silas Weir Mitchell and member of the Golden Dawn, William Butler Yeats all set the tone for the hidden trials the Great Beast would embark on. Lastly, Joel looks at Crowley's mescaline parties he performed in the United States and his use of the drug to bring him closer to what he believed were the Secret Chiefs.

We've all heard of the 8 Limbs of Yoga, but do you really know what they are? Today I'm going to explore the eight limbs of yoga, their origins, and their significance in spiritual practice. I'll look at each limb's purpose, giving a detailed examination, as well as the historical context of the Yoga Sutras. Get ready to finally gain a true understanding of: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi.  I'll discuss:
