La parola "sammā" nell'Ottuplice Sentiero non significa solo "retto": significa "ben accordato", come la corda di uno strumento musicale. Il Buddha, nel Soṇa Sutta, usa proprio questa immagine: le corde né troppo tese, né troppo lente. La pratica non chiede rigidità, ma quella morbidezza precisa da cui nasce il suono migliore. La consapevolezza è l'orecchio che ci permette di correggere, nota dopo nota, respiro dopo respiro. Riflessioni di Dharma registrate da Sirimedho Stefano De Luca nel gruppo di meditazione dell'Associazione Kalyanamitta il 13 febbraio 2026.

This is the first of several Dharma talks that review what many believe is the most important teaching of early Buddhism, the Four Foundations of Mindfulness Discourse.  Peter reviews the general history and overall structure of the teaching, emphasizing various repetitive phrases and providing explanations of the archaic wording to make the teaching more accessible for a contemporary student.  Next week, Susan Baxter will review the first Foundation, Mindfulness of the Body, including how the Sutta describes the practice of anapanasati, mindfulness of breathing meditation. Here are the notes prepared for this talk:  Overview of the Satipatthana Sutta Here is a translation of the Sutta, as rendered by Bhikkhu Analayo, a preeminent Buddhist scholar and teacher:  ANALAYO TRANSLATES THE SATIPATTHÃNA SUTTA

Ajahn Brahmali discusses sutta 2 from the Digha Nikaya: Sāmaññaphala Sutta, "The Fruits of the Ascetic Life". This is part 10.  Find the full series here. Read DN2 on Sutta Central here. "The newly crowned King Ajātasattu is disturbed by the violent means by which he achieved the crown. He visits the Buddha to find peace of mind, and asks him about the benefits of spiritual practice. This is one of the greatest literary and spiritual texts of early Buddhism", Sutta Central.

Riflessioni di Dhamma sul Sedaka Sutta (SN 47.19) e sulle Quattro Nobili Verità durante il ritiro residenziale "Praticare la gentilezza" tenutosi a Pontenure (PC) dal 6 all'8 febbraio 2026. Nel Sedaka Sutta il Buddha usa la parabola degli acrobati per mostrare come prendersi cura di sé stessi sia il modo migliore per prendersi cura degli altri, e come prendersi cura degli altri sia una forma di gentilezza amorevole e compassione. Un insegnamento profondamente legato alla pratica di mettā. Si illustra anche il contenuto delle Quattro Nobili Verità Riflessione di Sirimedho Stefano De Luca

Lettura del Karanīya Metta Sutta (Sutta Nipāta 1.8), il discorso del Buddha sulla gentilezza amorevole (mettā), durante il ritiro residenziale "Praticare la gentilezza" tenutosi a Pontenure (PC) dal 6 all'8 febbraio 2026. Il Metta Sutta è uno dei testi più amati della tradizione Theravada: descrive le qualità di chi pratica la gentilezza amorevole e culmina nell'aspirazione a estendere mettā a tutti gli esseri senza distinzione. Questo è il primo ritiro in presenza dell'Associazione Kalyanamitta APS. A cura di Sirimedho Stefano De Luca

Ajahn Khemaka gave this Dhamma talk on 19 December 2025 at Amaravati Buddhist Monastery in the UK. The post Day-To-Day Reflections From the Ratana Sutta appeared first on Amaravati Buddhist Monastery.

“A Wider View of Mindfulness” is a Dharma talk and brief guided meditation in which we explore mindfulness as the Buddha taught it: an inward knowing of experience that helps us see clearly, respond wisely, and reduce suffering. Grounded in the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta, this is a gentle widening of the lens, building on commonly held ideas about what Mindfulness is, inspired by the MindfulnessVR Community Discord conversation on the topic. I hope you'll find a broader view of mindfulness herein, and that you enjoy the exploration! https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

Ajahn Hasapanna discusses sutta 22 from the Majjhima Nikaya: Alagaddūpama Sutta – “The Simile of the Snake” and is using Bhikkhu Bodhi's translation. Read MN22 on Sutta Central here: “One of the monks denies that prohibited conduct is really a problem. The monks and then the Buddha subject him to an impressive dressing down. The Buddha compares someone who understands only the letter of the teachings to someone who grabs a snake by the tail, and also invokes the famous simile of the raft.”, Sutta Central.

(Waldhaus am Laacher See) In der Sutta über die Bambusakrobaten überlegen die beiden Artisten, wie sie unbeschadet ihre Kunststücke zeigen können. Sie sind gegensätzlicher Ansicht. Achte ich besser auch mich oder achte ich auf den anderen? Der erläutert der Buddha anschließend, warum beide Recht haben. Achten auf sich selbst bedeutet Achtsamkeit zu kultivieren. Dadurch achtet man auch auf den anderen. Guduld, Gewaltlosigkeit, Liebe und Teilnahme zu entwickeln, bedeutet auf den anderen zu blicken, wovon man selbst ebenfalls profitiert. Geduld ist ein wesentliches Element. Geduld öffnet Raum und Zeit für Entwicklung. Zu Geduld gehört aber auch etwas Schwieriges dulden zu können. Dadurch wird Reaktivität verhindert.

(Waldhaus am Laacher See) Wer achtet auf wen? In einer Sutta diskutieren Bambusakrobaten darüber wie sie vorgehen sollen, um unbeschadet ihre Kunststücke zu zeigen. Für den Buddha ist es eine Gelegenheit darzulegen, dass sowohl das achten auf sich selbst wie das achten auf den anderen wichtig ist. Ersteres wird durch die Praxis der vier Grundlagen der Achtsamkeit erreicht, während das Achten auf den anderen in der Praxis von Geduld, Gewaltlosigkeit, Liebe und Teilnahme besteht.

(Cambridge Insight Meditation Center) We are living through a profound pivot point. The old myths of our civilization–endless growth, rugged individualism, and “us first” hierarchies are crumbling. In their place, fear, division, and the architecture of fascism are rapidly rising. As the Jungian analyst Edward Edinger warned, when a central myth breaks down, meaning drains away, and primitive forces rush in. The Buddha also lived in a world burning with greed, hatred, and delusion. He challenged the systems of his time, endured attempts on his life, negotiated peace between warring factions, and even stood before armies bent on destruction. In the Sakka-pañha Sutta, when asked why beings who wish for peace end up in rivalry and violence, he pointed to the root: the mind entangled in papañca, the web of proliferating stories that harden separation. How then do we understand this immense historic moment? We can take courage from the Buddha. He didn't always succeed. Even with his wisdom and compassion, he could not prevent the destruction of his own people. Yet he still stood before armies, still spoke truth, and still acted with courage. Even when outcomes are uncertain, we too are called, at this time, to step forward with clarity, compassion, and steadfastness. Together we will explore how to bring the medicine of the Dharma into this moment of profound challenge, not as escape, but as a path of right action, refuge, and renewal.
