In questo podcast, tratto da un recente ritiro in terra sarda, Pier Giorgio, con profondità e leggerezza, propone un passo di "Un Corso in Miracoli", che recita così: “Dio non ha creato un mondo senza significato; tutto ciò che vedi non ha alcun significato”, che risulta un paradosso per la nostra mente. Inoltre, accostando il racconto di un episodio della vita del Buddha, (noto come il Sutra del fiore) e del martirio del mistico San Lorenzo, ci conduce a scorgere, attraverso l'apparente contraddizione che confonde la mente, qualcosa oltre ciò che appare reale. Proprio come un koan zen che confonde la mente per staccarci da essa, e vedere che la realtà non è limitata a ciò che percepiamo con i nostri sensi.

[This episode originally aired on December 20, 2022] One of my favorite nursery rhymes contains quite a bit of wisdom: “Row row, row, row your boat gently down the stream; merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream”  •  if we think of the stream as a stream of teachings, then we could consider the Buddha as the source of the stream  •  from that beginning a great river continues to flow over thousands of years  •  where does this stream flow? It flows into an ocean, which you could say is the awakening of the practitioner  •  you have a boat to carry you down this stream, and you have a set of oars to row with  •  what kind of effort do you apply? it's a steady effort, but it's also a relaxed effort: you're rowing gently, but regularly and persistently  •  and how are you doing all this? you're doing it merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily  •  it's not a big struggle; there's a sense of delight  •  in fact it could be dreamlike because it's not so solid, it's not so frozen  •  we're in a shifting and changing world; it's so dreamlike and so unreal in so many ways, but so beautiful and colorful at the same time. 

It's been a long time since I've done a solo episode of this podcast and I've been getting requests for a bit more of those to include along with the guest episodes. And this episode is one of those. In this episode I reflect on the Fifth Realization from the sutra, The Eight Realizations of Great Beings. The Fifth Realization, as translated by Thich Nhat Hanh says: Ignorance is the cause of the endless rounds of birth and death. Bodhisattvas always listen to and learn from others so their understanding and skillful means can develop and so they can teach living beings and bring them great joy. My reflection includes a call for us not to try to "know" things but to listen. Plus, to try to help and serve others—and, ultimately, bring joy—by listening. If we don't feel or witness a lot of joy under the weight of the times, it's because there are so many of us talking and "knowing" what's right ... and not many of us listening. I end with a call to for us to help or offer positivity to at least one person every day ... to bring joy!

Bhante Sangharakshita described the Diamond Sutra as one of two books ‘by which I have been most profoundly influenced.' We could see it as the keystone in the central arch of the architecture of his thinking about the Dharma. In this talk, Satyalila introduces the Sutra in its context of the Perfection of Wisdom (or Prajnaparamita) tradition and explores its significance for Sangharakshita, and for us.

Tiziano Fratus"L'affaire Simenon"Solferino Libriwww.solferinolibri.itQuello di Georges Simenon è un caso editoriale eccezionale: un successo mondiale che dura da quasi un secolo, anzitutto grazie alla serie del commissario Maigret.Tiziano Fratus, che di Simenon è esperto e appassionato lettore, ci accompagna in un viaggio nella sua vita e nei segreti della sua opera sterminata per conoscerlo meglio e orientarsi nella selva dei suoi scritti. Un'immersione nella voracità esistenziale di uno dei più prolifici autori del XX secolo quanto nella vasta “commedia umana” che ha imbastito, così ricca di volti, storie, ambientazioni, crimini e omicidi. Da Il porto delle nebbie a Il caso Saint-Fiacre, da Il testamento Donadieu a Pedigree, questo libro è un'indagine sui personaggi cui lo scrittore belga ha dato vita, sui luoghi (non solo del delitto e non solo francesi), sugli argomenti affrontati. Quali sono i temi ricorrenti e quelli isolati? Come evitare di incorrere nella medesima raccolta di racconti o nel medesimo romanzo ma con titoli diversi?L'Affaire Simenon è un vero e proprio vademecum letterario che, dietro la lente del commissario più famoso di Parigi, permetterà al lettore di guardare il mondo con occhi nuovi, curarsi con la letteratura e, perché no, vivere meglio.Tiziano Fratus è nato a Bergamo nel 1975 ed è cresciuto tra Lombardia e Piemonte. In oltre vent'anni, ha pubblicato un vasto “silvario” di opere quali Manuale del perfetto cercatore d'alberi (Feltrinelli 2013), Ogni albero è un poeta (Mondadori 2015), L'Italia è un bosco (Laterza 2014), Il bosco è un mondo (Einaudi 2018), I giganti silenziosi (Bompiani 2017), Sogni di un disegnatore di fiori di ciliegio (Aboca 2020), Alberi millenari d'Italia (Gribaudo 2021), Giona delle sequoie (Bompiani 2019), Alberodonti d'Italia (Gribaudo 2024), Sutra degli alberi (Piano B 2022) e Una foresta ricamata (Mimesis 2025).

How long does it take? How do we know? Shakyamuni breaks down the reality of human mind and practice; the way information is twisted and disseminated with false views; and finally realization. “Buddhism Reference” – Now Available in the TLK Bookstore; www.lulu.com/spotlight/kwoon

What if the secret to healing isn't doing more—but doing less? In this episode, we explore the 7 Invitations of Organic Intelligence, a revolutionary somatic framework that helps you unlock your body's natural ability to heal, adapt, and thrive. These invitations aren't about fixing yourself—they're about creating the conditions for healing to unfold effortlessly. You'll learn:

MahaPariNirvana Part 47. Shakyamuni digs into the difference of potential and the expression of potential. He uses the analogies of butter, milk, cream and ghee to illustrate potential within all beings and the need for a process to express the potential, Buddhahood. That potential already “exists” within the human being, but can only be expressed through the process of the practice. “Buddhism Reference” – Now Available in the TLK Bookstore; www.lulu.com/spotlight/kwoon

Rev. Enya Sapp leads a retreat on the Lankavatara Sutra in August 2025. This sutra is one of the most important Zen texts and also one of the most obscure. Legend has it that Bodhidharma handed this text to his disciples saying, "this is all you need". However its profound teaching is often abandoned for other texts which feel more accessible to practitioners. Rev. Enya seeks to help us persevere and find success with the Lankavatara. She encourages us to accept the 'cup of tea' that is the Lankavatara Sutra, and most importantly, to DRINK the tea.YouTube: N/ATwitter/X: @shastaabbey

Trump će državnim parama kupiti desetinu Intela, a Google će nam zabraniti da na njegovom Androidu instaliramo šta hoćemo. Kako i zašto su SAD na čelu sa svojim predsednikom odlučile da kupe 10% Intela, prva je tema ovog Sutra. Na to se nadovezuje budućnost kontrole Googleovog mobilnog operativnog sistema, pa će, po svemu sudeći, budućnost sideloadovanja aplikacija biti zapravo sideloadovanje Androida, ili onoga što će od njega ostati. Hvala na slušanju!

Svašta ćete u ovoj epizodi saznati - od toga kako je prošao Pixel 10 događaj, šta su večernji šou programi, ko je Džimi Felon, do toga kako izgleda digitalizacija nabavke lične karte u Srbiji. Glavna tema naravno su Google i njegov novi Pixel 10 koji je predstavljen na nov način, ne samo za Google, već i za njegove takmace. Da li zbog toga ili sveopšteg raspoloženja, ali je i šezdeset i šesto Sutra više tok šou nego nešto što bi se inače moglo čuti na talasima ovog podcasta. Hvala na slušanju!

Roshi Genjo Marinello presented this Teisho during the Aug. 3, 2025 Zazenkai held at No Rank Zendo in Portland. This talk investigates how to explore the inconceivable essence of ourselves and the universe via the experience of Great Death.

Norman gives the first talk of the Gandavyuha Sutra (Avatamsaka Sutra Chapter 39) to the Everyday Zen Dharma Seminar. The Gandavyuha Sutra is the story of the spiritual pilgrimage of the monk Sudhana, who visits and learns from many spiritual masters. This is the final chapter 39 of the much larger Avatamsaka Sutra.

Vedic Raksha Sutra : Shri Sureshanandji Satsang

Vedic Raksha Sutra : Shri Sureshanandji Satsang

Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei - ZCNYC - 8/3/25 - Often overlooked, kinhin (walking meditation) is a most important, exquisite practice of the transition of rising up off our mountain seat and walking into our everyday lives in an undivided manner. How do we walk in accord with the Dharma—touching this great earth with wisdom and care, amidst all that life presents to us? Are we walking towards or away greater understanding? Are these different? Hojin Sensei begins by sharing her own daily ritual for maintaining harmony and offers the teaching of Master Dogen, "We must devote ourselves to a detailed study of this virtue of walking.”

Sadhguru talks about the Abhaya Sutra, a sacred thread consecrated in Devi Linga Bhairavi's Presence, that serves as protection for the wearer. Set the context for a joyful, exuberant day with a short, powerful message from Sadhguru. Explore a range of subjects with Sadhguru, discover how every aspect of life can be a stepping stone, and learn to make the most of the potential that a human being embodies.  Conscious Planet: ⁠https://www.consciousplanet.org⁠ Sadhguru App (Download): ⁠https://onelink.to/sadhguru__app⁠ Official Sadhguru Website: ⁠https://isha.sadhguru.org⁠ Sadhguru Exclusive: ⁠https://isha.sadhguru.org/in/en/sadhguru-exclusive⁠ Inner Engineering Link: isha.co/ieo-podcast Yogi, mystic and visionary, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference.

Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei - ZCNYC - 7/20/25 - What is this we think of as ‘my body'? Hojin Sensei brings in the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutra focusing on Buddha's teaching to meditate on ‘the body in the body.' Our culture already encourages a focus on the mind and the intellect, and because we're educated to be in our heads, it can be really hard to include the body in our awareness as we're developing the capacity for more presence. Hojin offers this talk as a tribute to poet and performance artist Andrea Gibson —who passed earlier this week— and delivers her poem, "I Sing the Body Electric, Especially When My Power's Out."
