Podcasts about shunyata

Communication with another can be a wonderfully connecting and liberating experience or it can destroy us. Recognising the mystery and interconnectedness of all things we find the uncanny ability to communicate meaningfully. Mindfulness, courage and renunciation are essential. Saraha invites us all, with practical steps, to notice and live freedom in Shunyata, connection in aloneness and the mutual co-arising of each other. Better than 1000 meaningless words is one word on hearing which makes the heart become calm.

Greetings Friends,In the on-going exploration of the Ox-herding pictures, this podcast episode focuses on Kensho—the Japanese Zen Buddhist word for seeing into our true nature, which is the third of the ten ox-herding or bull-herding pictures. The image above is a bull painted in the Lascaux cave in France around 20k years ago. While maybe not as apparent to a modern person, the Ox and bull have a long relationship to human beings and in the history of religion and spirituality.When I first encountered the cave paintings of Lascaux, I was awe-struck. They touch my artistic sensibilities and convey, at least to me, a spiritual intimacy. Painted in the dark, fertile womb of the earth—a cave—the animals within the walls portray a liveliness of both painter and animal. It is as if they share the same spirit.In her article on Enlightenment and Awakening, Zen Buddhist Teacher Joan Sutherland tells a story of Chekhov and Tolstoy as a way of illuminating the insight of a kensho experience, she says:How large is the self softly illuminated by the moon of enlightenment? Tolstoy and Chekhov were on a walk in the spring woods when they encountered a horse. Tolstoy began to describe how the horse would experience the clouds, trees, smell of wet earth, flowers, sun. Chekhov exclaimed that Tolstoy must have been a horse in a previous life to know in such detail what the horse would feel. Tolstoy laughed and said, “No, but the day I came across my own inside, I came across everybody's inside.”She goes on to describe that awakening doesn't belong to buddhists or buddhas saying: Awakening is autonomous, existing before there were humans, or anything else, to experience it. This is personified in Prajnaparamita, mother of buddhas, who holds the universe's awakening, regardless of whether there are buddhas or Buddhist teachings in a particular era. Though I have never met these artists or animals, I feel something of them even 20k after they lived. Could it be that these artists too, knew the mind before thought—the great expanse of prajna paramita? Sitting in the womb of the earth, the radiant blackness of the wisdom mother—they lost themselves as individuals and became tiger, bull, horse—the goddess herself? Portraying their likeness on these cave walls as an act of devotion, a gesture of love?Once I came across my own inside, I came across everyone's inside.In her book on the Image of the Goddess Anne Baring connects these early cave painting cultures to the earliest depiction of a mother goddess that historians are aware of. Wisdom beyond wisdom, need not be gendered for it points to that which is prior to gender, body, form, all dualities—and yet, the metaphor of the great mother captures something essential. From the darkness of this cave-like womb—bull, hand, paint, tiger, woman, voice, body, me, you!We are currently in week one of a 14-week class series I am offering on the Sacred Feminine—as I post this recording on kensho— I am feeling how deeply the two intersect for me. As a Zen practitioner Prajna Paramita—wisdom beyond wisdom—wasn't something I immediately connected with as a feminine deity or mother goddess. Throughout the years of practice, my practice has taken on more of a devotional flavor. As I learned more about the image and history of the goddess, prajna paramita—mother of all buddhas, I feel how her depiction helps me open to the spaciousness, compassionate, freedom of Mind's nature.I have a practice now of embodying the goddess, allowing my body to take the form of prajna paramita, and everything that arises in the space of awareness—body sensations, sounds, thoughts, images, feelings, emotions—are all a manifestation of prajna paramita—wisdom beyond wisdom. Inseparable for the light of awareness.Where have you encountered the goddess?Can you see her—right now?When I look, she is everywhere:In the freedom and play of The Art Ensemble of Chicago and Moor Mother's spoken word poetry. In the oak tree still holding some of his leaves and the babbling creek running gently in spring sun, in the city lights twinkle, and the burgeoning trunk jade plant on my desk—she is everywhere, miss true nature—and gratitude, devotion, wonder and awe arise in this heart when I catch a glimpse of her various forms of compassionate expression.Can you really see her everywhere? In everyone and everything. When my heart trembles in fear, or I feel sadness over the suffering in the world—I invite this inquiry. This too, the wisdom and compassion of our awakened nature. This too, none other than the goddess's compassionate manifestation. This too, the spontaneous expression of the OX. For me, this is a koan worth pursuing.With just one glance of Miss Original FaceStanding there you will fall in love with her. —Zen Master IkkyuEach of the ox-herding pictures has a prose teaching and poem to accompany them. Below is the image, prose and poem for the third picture sometimes called Seeing the OX or The First Glimpse of Self.PROSEThrough sound you gain entry, by sight you face your source. The six senses are not different, in every activity it's plainly there.Like salt in water or glue in paint. Raise your eyebrows—it's just right here.POEMIn the trees nightingales sing and sing againSun warms the soft wind, green willows line the bankHere, there's nowhere left for it to hide,It's majestic head and horns no artist could drawThe recorded talk is commentary on this vital stage of the path, which includes commenting on these teaching points found in the prose and poem. Please enjoy and feel free to comment. I am curious to hear about your experience of Awakening, Prajna Paramita, devotion or anything else that touched you in either this written piece or the dharma talk.This Saturday I will be offering a daylong online meditation retreat exploring the Zen teachings of Shunyata, emptiness—an often misunderstood yet vital aspect of practice-awakening.

In this episode, we explore the antidotes to the three poisons — greed, anger, and ignorance. The three poisons are the fundamental sources of suffering. Join us to discover how generosity counters greed, loving-kindness conquers anger, and the realization of emptiness opposes ignorance. Explore the transformative power of applying ancient wisdom to today's busy life.   Anger blinds individuals to compassion and disrupts our inner peace. Anger is also the most potent destroyer of good karma. Greed, or attachment, arises from the craving for possessions, experiences, or people. Attachment leads to a perpetual cycle of desire and dissatisfaction. Ignorance is a lack of understanding of the true nature of reality, which causes the poisons of anger, attachment, and all other delusions, such as jealousy, pride, etc. Overcoming these three poisons through mindfulness, wisdom, and ethical conduct is crucial for attaining enlightenment and freeing oneself from cycles of suffering.  The three mental poisons explained by Buddha: ignorance attachment (also called craving) anger (also called hatred or ill will) The practices that act as antidotes to the three mental poisons: Wisdom opposes ignorance Generosity opposes attachment Loving-kindness opposes anger    Generosity opposes Greed/Attachment  Giving without expecting something in return loosens the grip of attachment (also referred to as greed or craving in Buddhism). Attachment arises from a misperception of scarcity. We may think we don't have enough love, money, success, beauty, etc., to be happy. The belief that there's not enough leads us to cling to possessions, relationships, or experiences out of fear of lacking. Generosity changes this perception of scarcity in several ways. Generosity is a powerful antidote to attachment by helping us accept impermanence, cultivate gratitude, and embrace simplicity. Through these practices, we transform our relationship with material possessions and move towards a simpler and more content way of life. Loving-kindness Opposes Anger Hatred, or aversion, is rooted in the delusion that some people or groups are separate from us. This can be remedied with the practice of loving-kindness, or metta. By consciously cultivating goodwill for both ourselves and our “enemies,” we neutralize the impact of this poison and open a space in which we can become aware of the true roots of hatred in our own wounds. As James Baldwin said, “One of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.” Wisdom Realising Emptiness Oppeses Ignorance The cultivation of wisdom, particularly the realization of emptiness (Shunyata), stands in opposition to ignorance. Ignorance is the root cause of suffering (dukkha). The cultivation of wisdom realizing emptiness opposes ignorance by challenging misconceptions about the nature of reality. Embracing the concept of emptiness leads to an understanding of interdependence, the impermanent nature of all phenomena, and the absence of inherent existence. This wisdom is a transformative force that liberates us from the cycle of suffering.  I do not call him a brahmana just because he is born from the womb of a brahmana mother. He is just a bhovadi brahmin if he is not free from moral defilements.  Him I call a brahmana, who is free from moral defilements and from attachment.

Many believe that Bitcoin is “just one of thousands of cryptoassets”—this is true in the same way that the number zero is just one of an infinite series of numbers. In reality, Bitcoin is special, and so is zero: each is an invention which led to a discovery that fundamentally reshaped its overarching system—for Bitcoin, that system is money, and for zero, it is mathematics. Since money and math are mankind's two universal languages, both Bitcoin and zero are critical constructs for civilization. In this series, we explore Breedlove's written work: “The Number Zero and Bitcoin.” Article: https://breedlove22.medium.com/the-number-zero-and-bitcoin-4c193336db5b// SPONSORS // In Wolf's Clothing: https://wolfnyc.com/iCoin Hardware Wallet (use discount code BITCOIN23): https://www.icointechnology.com/CrowdHealth: https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/breedloveWasabi Wallet: https://wasabiwallet.io/Join Me At Bitcoin 2023 in Miami (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://b.tc/conference/Casa (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://keys.casa/Bitcoin Apparel (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://thebitcoinclothingcompany.com/ Feel Free Tonics (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://botanictonics.comCarnivore Bar (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://carnivorebar.com/// OUTLINE // 00:00:00 - Coming up 00:01:08 - Intro 00:02:41 - Helping Lightning Startups With In Wolf's Clothing 00:03:27 - The Number Zero and Bitcoin 00:04:21 - The Emergence of Zero 00:04:50 - Concept of Mathematics from the Buddhist Perspective 00:07:42 - The Philosophy of Shunyata and the Realm of Nirvana 00:10:00 - The Mathematics of Meditation 00:12:39 - The Benefits of Meditation 00:14:06 - The Domain of Being and Non-Being 00:15:12 - The Realm of Quantum Theory 00:19:31 - The Philosophical and Spiritual Implications of the Number Zero on the Global Mind 00:22:56 - Secure Your Bitcoin Stash with the iCoin Hardware Wallet 00:23:53 - Take Control of Your Healthcare with CrowdHealth 00:24:56 - A Bitcoin Wallet with Privacy Built-In: Wasabi Wallet 00:25:46 - The Practical Implications of Zero and the Mathematics of Nothingness 00:28:20 - The Paradox of the Imaginary Numbers 00:32:25 - The Intersection of Buddhism and Mathematics 00:33:48 - The Idea of Continuous Logic and the Third Dimension 00:36:04 - The Relationship between Zero and Infinity 00:40:25 - The Realm of Nothingness is the Fundamental Connection to Buddhism 00:43:15 - Zero is the Mathematical Expression of Nirvana 00:44:47 - Zero was the Ultimate Answer to the Domination of the Medieval Church 00:45:32 - How the Number Zero Revolutionized the World 00:47:49 - A Chance to Win Discounted Tickets to the Bitcoin 2023 Conference and 10M SATS 00:48:44 - Hold Bitcoin in the Most Secure Custody Model with Casa 00:49:32 - The Mathematical Practices of the Ancient Greeks 00:52:02 - The Perception of the Golden Ratio 00:57:22 - The Finite Universe Model and Its Impact on Church's Domination 01:00:24 - How the Number Zero and Bitcoin Undermine Central Authority 01:01:33 - Dismissing Zero was the Biggest Mistake of the Ancient Greeks 01:06:04 - The Clash of Finite and Infinite 01:08:56 - The Number Zero was the Key to Break Church's Domination 01:10:45 - Why Bitcoin is the Echo of the Number Zero // PODCAST //Podcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8...RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYI// SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL // Bitcoin: 3D1gfxKZKMtfWaD1bkwiR6JsDzu6e9bZQ7 Sats via Strike: https://strike.me/breedlove22Sats via Tippin.me: https://tippin.me/@Breedlove22Dollars via Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/RBreedloveDollars via Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Robert-Breedlove-2The "What is Money?"

This melodious and meditative chant of Shiva can put one in meditative trances if heard using a headphone and replaying in cycles. Shiva is the ultimate void. Shunyata! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pallavi-kwatra/message

The Lamrim teachings on the Three Principal Paths — it can be spelled Principal or Principle, either is correct with slightly different contexts — is considered the very essence of Buddha's teaching. (Therefore his Principles but also his Principal teachings.) The three are Renunciation, Bodhichitta, and Shunyata. How can I practice Renunciation, Bodhichitta, and Shunyata when I'm an ordinary layperson? How can I motivate myself to renounce attachments while still a layperson? In part one of this short series on the Three Principal Paths (Three Principle Paths), Venerable Zasep Rinpoche, in a wonderful and concise teaching, explains Renunciation for the ordinary lay practitioner. In practical terms, Rinpoche explains how to incorporate renunciation into modern life.  #ThreePrinciplePaths #ThreePrincipalPaths #Lamrim #Buddhism #TibetanBuddhismSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/BuddhaWeekly)

When a friend who's a longtime Buddhist meditation teacher asked me recently if "emptiness" comes into our study and practice of chado, the Japanese way of tea, I didn't quite know how to answer. On Talking Tea we had chatted a bit about emptiness in a Daoist context, and its relation to tea, in our episode Tea & Daoism: Adjacent Connections, and we touched on some of the connections between tea and Buddhism in a few of our earlier episodes. But I hadn't thought about how, or if, emptiness comes into play in the specific practices of the Japanese way of tea. To explore this question further, we asked Drew Hanson, an instructor in the Urasenke school of chado and founder/owner of the Boukakuan Japanese Tea House in New Jersey, to join us again on Talking Tea. (Drew was our guest in two earlier Talking Tea episodes, Tea, Heart to Heart and Chabana: Flowers for Tea.)  Drews begins by talking with us about what emptiness might mean in the context of tea: about thinking and non-thinking in our tea practice, about being and breathing, physicality and non-verbal communication between the host and guests at a tea gathering. Drew discusses how, through all of this, there is "mindfulness but also emptiness". We look at spatial components of emptiness in chado, from the pathway leading us to the teahouse, to the space in the tea room, to the "spaces between" (you'll have to listen to find out what that means), and how these components allow us to let go of everything that defines us in the "outside world". Drew chats with us about the importance of dropping our agendas in tea practice, about what our objective (if any) should be, and how the emptiness pervading all of this ultimately leads to joy. For more info on Drew Hanson and the Boukakuan Japanese Tea House, including info on Japanese tea ceremony classes and demonstrations, go to the Boukakuan website at njgreentea.com.

Wir sind gleichzeitig Kinder der Erde und Kinder der Grenzenlosigkeit. "Grenzenlosigkeit" im Sinne des Hannya Shingyo: "Grenzenlosigkeit ist nicht verschieden von Form und Form ist nicht verschieden von Grenzenlosigkeit". (’Shunyata’, sinojap.: ’ku’, wird hier nach Kazuaki Tanahashi als ’Unboundedness’, also als ’Unbegrenztheit’ verstanden; im Sinne der Eigenschaften aller Daseinselemente, die buddhistisch als ohne Eigensubstanz und als untrennbar miteinander verwoben erkannt werden.) Im Herz-Geist, in Bodhicitta, im Erleuchtungsgeist, kann unser Geist zur Verbundenheit mit den Mitmenschen und der Mitwelt erwachen. Eine gelungene Verbindung beschreibt der Soziologe Hartmut Rosa mit der Metapher ’Resonanz’. Zu dieser Resonanz gehört: Wir werden wirklich berührt und ergriffen. Wir erleben uns als selbstwirksam. Im Daoismus wird von Wu wei gesprochen, vom absichtslosen Handeln in Übereinstimmung mit der Mitwelt. Im Wechselspiel von Berührt-werden und Antworten verwandeln wir uns selbst. Die Resonanzbeziehung ist grundsätzlich ’unverfügbar’; Resonanz ist keine Ressource, auf die wir beliebig zugreifen können und sie bleibt unserer Kontrolle existentiell entzogen. In einer solchen Resonanz können wir - nach Umon - gar nicht anders als ’Medizin’ zu erwecken. Und wenn wir die ’Medizin’ im Sinne Umons erweckt haben, können wir nicht anders, als uns mitfühlend und hilfreich zu verhalten. Und Umon fragt dann: Wo findest du dich selbst? Das heißt: Wo bist du selbst in diesem Prozess des durch Resonanz geleiteten Eingreifens in die Welt? Um für junge Erwachsene den Aufenthalt im ToGenJi zu ermöglichen, bitten wir um eine Spende.

Carlene Frances holds a BFA in painting and drawing from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. She attended Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan before moving to Colorado in 1974 where she currently resides. She paints with oil and her work is inspired by Asian design elements and eastern philosophy. She applies the Buddhist principle of Shunyata–dwelling in emptiness, to her canvases by eliminating the unnecessary so the necessary may speak. Frances has been exhibiting professionally since 1997; her work has been featured in major national and international exhibitions too numerous to list here, and her presence in corporate collections is also too numerous to list, but you can find this information on her website Carlenefrances.com

Professor Bob Thurman war in den 60er Jahren der erste westliche Mönch, der vom Dalai Lama ordiniert wurde - bis heute sind sie gute Freunde. Als Autor von über 13 Büchern zu Buddhismus, Meditation und Kultur, als Übersetzer unzähliger tibetischer Schriften, als geschätzter Lehrer für tibetischen Buddhismus und als Universitätsprofessor teilt Bob Thurman seit jeher großzügig sein Wisen und seine Erfahrung. Er sprudelt vor Humor, Scharfsinn und Lebensfreude. In diese, Gespräch erzählt Bob Thurman unter anderem: warum Buddhismus eine Wissenschaft ist - und keine Religion wie du die Welt durch meditative Einsichten konkret verbessern kannst was uns die „Matrix“ Filme über Buddha und die Erleuchtung zeigen können was der Buddha uns mitgab, um selbst erleuchtet zu werden wie du erkennst, dass unsere alltägliche Realität bereits pure Glückseligkeit ist wie wir durch das Erkennen von „Shunyata“ anderen Menschen wirklich helfen können wie wir uns von Mitgefühl und offenem Herzen leiten lassen können wie du erkennst, daß alles EINS ist und es kein „Ding an Sich“ gibt warum Wiedergeburt eine wissenschaftlich plausible Sache ist und vieles, vieles mehr!

Atisha warns the meditator to protect their emptiness, the state of Shunyata by recognizing the confusions within 4 Embodiments: 1. Svabhavakaya: The default nature of the body. 2. Sambhogakaya: The experiences collected created perception. 3. Nirmanakaya: The manifestations of thoughts in the mind. 4. Dharmakaya: A sense of self and its purpose. In this session, Atisha is expecting a lot out of the meditator. He is assuming that the meditator had a taste of inner silence and emptiness.

This is an introduction to White Tara practice based on a sadhana that Khenpo Sherab Sangpo arranged for his meditation community, Bodhicitta Sangha | Heart of Enlightenment Institute in Minneapolis. "Noble White Tara" is a spiritual practice dedicated to increasing one's own or another person's health, wisdom, and merit; practiced especially to benefit the long life of one's teacher and lineage masters. Lady Tara has made the aspiration to swiftly help anyone who requests her compassionate presence. Tibetans call on her aid for both spiritual and mundane matters and these teachings are meant to help you generate more compassion, loving kindness, and the essence of bodhicitta; and to support you and your community during joyful and difficult times. Please visit our website to learn more about Khenpo Sherab Sangpo, his teachings and for practice texts. This episode can be seen on Youtube.

To achieve a thoughtless state in meditation is called "SHUNYATA". It helps one to clearly look into the soul and understand the different layers of Karma that need to be worked upon. Sages and bodhis work upon to bring in this state of mind. It is victory of the chattering mind. I would recommend doing this meditation regularly to bring upon this state of thoughtlessness.

In this meditation session I describe how to use the psychological impression of mathematical ‘Zero’ as a meditation technique to create and hold an inner emptiness, a.k.a. ‘Shunyata’ in Yoga; a.k.a the Zen state.

Shunya ist ein Sanskritwort und bedeutet leer, unbewohnt, auch nicht existierend. Shunya kann auch Null und Vakuum bezeichnen. Auch der Raum im Hrid Chakra, im Herzchakra, kann als Shunya bezeichnet werden – in dem nichts ist als nur reines Bewusstsein. Aus Shunya kommt auch Shunyata, eine Bezeichnung im Buddhismus für das Absolute, die höchste Wirklichkeit … „Shunya – Leer, nicht existierend – Buddhismus Wörterbuch“ weiterlesen

Katie Davis is a spiritual teacher and author who offers satsang worldwide. She is a graduate of the University of Washington, a former secondary school educator, a former owner of aerobics studios in the Pacific Northwest and mother of two. She is author of Awake Joy: The Essence of Enlightenment and since 1999, she has been traveling to share with people the radical possibility of Self-realization that is the end of all suffering, separation and the key to world transformation. Katie Davis was a Keynote Presenter at the Vancouver BC Convention Centre in Canada. She offers spiritual talks at church services or spiritual gatherings, corporations, hospitals, professional communities and organizations, schools, television and radio shows, as well as for community organizers worldwide that are offering talks in the form of satsang in public meetings, intensives, and silent retreats. In 1986, Katie Davis radically and spontaneously awakened to the ultimate reality of who we really are without practices or teachers. She had never meditated or even heard of enlightenment, Advaita Vedanta, Non-duality or Self-realization. Katie had no intellectual reference whatsoever for what had occurred. In 1988, Katie met her future husband, Sundance Burke, author of Free Spirit: A Guide to Enlightened Being, who had similarly awakened in 1982 with Satoshi (Osho) and Shunyata, named the Rare Born Mystic by his friend, Ramana Maharshi, one of the most cherished sages of modern-day India. Katie Davis is a world spiritual teacher and a current resident of Seattle, Washington, USA. Katie's book, Awake Joy: The Essence of Enlightenment Interview recorded 4/29/2012 Video and audio below.

Spiritual being and teacher, Pramod, says, "Shunyata is the matrix of all that exists, of every object of our desires. The easy process of creation may be summed up like this: summon forth what you want from shunyata and to tap into shunyata, meditation is one of the best known ways. So see your mind vanish. Rest in shunyata and from there, attract what you want. This is attracting from shunyata."
