Maria Grazia Cecchini"L'Enneagramma della società"Mali del mondo. Mali dell'anima.Claudio NaranjoEdizioni Spazio Interiorewww.spaziointeriore.comIl libro di Claudio Naranjo che per molti racchiude il fulcro del suo pensiero e che, attraverso la sintesi dei nove tipi dell'Enneagramma, accompagna il lettore a scoprire come i mali dell'anima siano lo specchio dei mali del mondo, e quindi in che modo, guarendo se stessi, si può guarire la società.I mali dell'anima possono essere una rappresentazione dei mali che affliggono il mondo? Esiste un modo per guarire dai propri problemi personali e intanto contribuire a rendere il mondo un posto migliore? Claudio Naranjo, in questo libro considerato da molti il vero fulcro del suo pensiero, offre una sintesi dei nove tipi umani che compongono il sistema dell'Enneagramma, integrando il suo ragionamento con le tradizioni spirituali, che considerano i mali umani come peccati, e quelle mediche e psicologiche, che invece li catalogano come patologie o deviazioni del carattere. L'autore cileno individua quindi un parallelismo tra modelli riconoscibili a livello individuale e a livello sociale, delineando il modo in cui la comprensione della psicopatologia del carattere dell'individuo possa realmente facilitare la comprensione della psicopatologia del carattere della società. In queste pagine – “dure” per sua stessa ammissione, ma al contempo semplici, chiare e illuminanti – Naranjo ci accompagna a scoprire come le passioni, le patologie e le motivazioni nevrotiche non siano altre che perturbazioni della nostra capacità di amare e di mantenere relazioni sane. Nell'offrirci uno specchio, seppur doloroso, in cui osservare profondamente noi stessi, ci mostra in che modo i “peccati capitali” dell'individuo (orgoglio, ira, avarizia e gli altri) siano all'origine dei mali dell'umanità (autoritarismo, repressioni, corruzione…), fornendoci una soluzione oggi più che mai preziosa e salvifica: guarire se stessi può davvero guarire il mondo.«Molti futurologi ci dicono che corriamo il pericolo di autodistruggerci, e ci sono buone probabilità che sia veramente così. Con il progressivo aumento della popolazione, le lotte sociali sfoceranno non solo nella violenza reciproca, ma nella distruzione della fauna e della flora, nonché nell'esaurimento delle risorse che il pianeta ci offre. Gli scenari possibili sono vari e ogni giorno si invoca di più il ruolo decisivo del fattore umano. Penso che il mondo sia il prodotto di ciò che ci portiamo dentro; per questo, l'ipotesi che i mali della società siano il risultato e l'amplificazione della nostra incapacità (appena riconosciuta) di mantenere relazioni sane merita un'attenzione particolare. Se consideriamo che difficilmente esisterà una società sana senza il fondamento di individui sani, è imperativo riconoscere il valore politico della trasformazione individuale».Claudio NaranjoNato in Cile nel 1932, Claudio Naranjo, medico psichiatra e antropologo, è uno dei principali esponenti della terapia della Gestalt e della Psicologia Transpersonale. Ricercatore della Coscienza, ha cercato di integrare tradizione e conoscenza scientifica, ricostruzione storica e analisi antropologica, psicologia e spiritualità. È stato uno dei primi ricercatori nell'ambito dell'Etnobotanica applicata alle piante psicoattive e ha sviluppato una teoria dei tipi psicologici basata sull'Enneagramma, un simbolo esoterico di origine oscura. Lungo il suo percorso spirituale, ha ricevuto insegnamenti di maestri come Swami Muktananda, Idries Shah, Oscar Ichazo, Suleyman Dede, S.S. El Karmapa xvi e Tarthang Tulku.Ha fondato l'Istituto sat, una scuola di integrazione psico-spirituale e di auto-conoscenza dedicata ai Cercatori della Verità. Autore di numerosi libri tradotti in tutto il mondo, Claudio Naranjo è membro del Club di Roma e Dottore honoris causa dell'Università di Udine.

The vast range of meditation practices in Buddhist traditions has stood the test of time. Still, we live in a culture that differs radically from Buddhist cultures of the past. Our minds and lives are fragmented, and people find even basic concentration challenging. In such circumstances, an approach grounded in inquiry at a deep level, together with non-dual acceptance, may be of special value. Tibetan teacher Tarthang Tulku, active in the West for more than five decades, has developed such an approach: the Time, Space, Knowledge Vision. Jack Petranker, one of his senior students, introduced the inquiry-based Vision and present practices that derive from it. Jack Petranker is the Director of the Mangalam Research Center for Buddhist Languages and the Founder and Senior Teacher of the Center for Creative Inquiry. Editor and author of numerous books on contemplative inquiry, Jack is a senior student of Tibetan Buddhist teacher Tarthang Tulku, an innovative, traditionally trained lama resident in America for fifty-five years. This event took place on March 7, 2024. For more information, see https://hds.harvard.edu A full transcript is forthcoming.

Trechos retirados dos livros “Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga” e “The Joy of Being”, de Thartang Tulku. Tarthang Tulku é um grande mestre da linhagem Nyingma do budismo tibetano. Nascido em 1935 nas montanhas de Golok (no nordeste do Tibet) e filho de Sogpo Tulku Pema Gawey Dorje, detentor da linhagem Nyingma Vidyadhara, Tarthang começou sua formação em uma idade muito precoce. Aos nove anos ele residiu no Mosteiro Tarthang, onde foi iniciado. Com quinze, partiu do Mosteiro para viajar aos principais monastérios do leste do Tibet. Lá, ele recebeu bênçãos, ensinamentos e iniciações. Em 1958 Tarthang Rinpoche partiu de sua terra natal, viajando através do Butão e Sikkim, seguindo os passos de seu guru Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö. Os próximos anos foram dedicados à peregrinação e retiros em lugares sagrados na Índia. Em 1962, foi chamado por Sua Santidade Dudjom Rinpoche, o chefe da Escola Nyingma, na época, para assumir uma posição como Membro na Universidade de sânscrito em Varanasi. Enquanto ensinava na Universidade de sânscrito por seis anos, Tarthang percebeu que a herança cultural e espiritual do Tibet no futuro estava em perigo e dependendo da preservação urgente de seu vasto corpo de literatura sagrada. Então, estabeleceu a gráfica Dharmamudranalaya num templo birmanês em Varanasi e começou a imprimir e distribuir textos tibetanos importantes e raros que os refugiados traziam para fora do Tibet. Tarthang escolheu a Califórnia para se estabelecer, e fundou o Tibetan Nyingma Meditation Center no início de 1969. Como um dos primeiros exilados tibetanos a fixar residência no Ocidente, ele tem vivido continuamente nos Estados Unidos por mais de quarenta anos.

Three Minutes a Day offers a series of short exercises, laid out simply and clearly, that build sequentially in a fourteen-week program. The book also includes: ·     straightforward visualizations and explorations of sensation that help readers achieve shamata (calmness) and vipassana (the ability to see clearly) through settled awareness ·     Q&A sections after each exercise that provide opportunities for further clarity and understanding ·     summaries at the end of each short chapter covering the techniques discussed to relieve stress, tension, and anxiety ·     a free app for iPhone and Android to enable readers to take their meditation anywhere “Meditation is a useful, perhaps even essential, element of self-exploration, a practice that can develop a reliable foundation for both subjective knowledge and emotional resilience,” writes Dixey. “I hope that some of the readers of this book will embark on it, as it is a rich and fulfilling practice that can quietly enhance journaling, prayer, contemplation, or any other element of a life well lived.” #newworldlibrary @dharmacollege @theliberatedhealer Learn more about your ad choices.

After a month or two of absence, the podcast returns for a new season, beginning with an unexpectedly wide ranging conversation with Dr. Richard Dixey. Richard holds a Ph.D. from London University, an M.A. with distinction in the history and philosophy of science from London University, and a B.A. Hons from Oxford. He has been a student of Buddhism since 1972 and has travelled extensively in the Himalayas, India and South East Asia. He is currently an advisor to the Khyentse Foundation, runs the Light of Buddhadharma Foundation and is a senior faculty member at Dharma College in Berkeley. We discuss two of his works, Searcher Reaches Land's Limits (Dharma, 2020), which is a commentary text on Tarthang Tulku's Revelations of Mind: A book that engages the reader in an open, non-dogmatic inquiry that has practical, philosophical, scientific, and meditative dimensions. The second is his most recent, Three Minutes a Day: A Fourteen-Week Course to Learn Meditation and Transform Your Life (New World Library, 2023), which makes a bold claim that we explore in our conversation. We also discuss epistemology, personal experience as all we have; we also touch on A.I. and the history and philosophy of science, and the current state of Buddhism in America. The introduction mentions a recent text called "An Antidote to Stupidity," written by the host, which is up at the non-Buddhism site, which listeners can read here.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The second is his most recent, Three Minutes a Day: A Fourteen-Week Course to Learn Meditation and Transform Your Life (New World Library, 2023), which makes a bold claim that we explore in our conversation. We also discuss epistemology, personal experience as all we have; we also touch on A.I. and the history and philosophy of science, and the current state of Buddhism in America.

Trechos retirados dos livros “Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga” e “The Joy of Being”, de Thartang Tulku. Tarthang Tulku é um grande mestre da linhagem Nyingma do budismo tibetano. Nascido em 1935 nas montanhas de Golok (no nordeste do Tibet) e filho de Sogpo Tulku Pema Gawey Dorje, detentor da linhagem Nyingma Vidyadhara, Tarthang começou sua formação em uma idade muito precoce. Aos nove anos ele residiu no Mosteiro Tarthang, onde foi iniciado. Com quinze, partiu do Mosteiro para viajar aos principais monastérios do leste do Tibet. Lá, ele recebeu bênçãos, ensinamentos e iniciações. Em 1958 Tarthang Rinpoche partiu de sua terra natal, viajando através do Butão e Sikkim, seguindo os passos de seu guru Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö. Os próximos anos foram dedicados à peregrinação e retiros em lugares sagrados na Índia. Em 1962, foi chamado por Sua Santidade Dudjom Rinpoche, o chefe da Escola Nyingma, na época, para assumir uma posição como Membro na Universidade de sânscrito em Varanasi. Enquanto ensinava na Universidade de sânscrito por seis anos, Tarthang percebeu que a herança cultural e espiritual do Tibet no futuro estava em perigo e dependendo da preservação urgente de seu vasto corpo de literatura sagrada. Então, estabeleceu a gráfica Dharmamudranalaya num templo birmanês em Varanasi e começou a imprimir e distribuir textos tibetanos importantes e raros que os refugiados traziam para fora do Tibet. Tarthang escolheu a Califórnia para se estabelecer, e fundou o Tibetan Nyingma Meditation Center no início de 1969. Como um dos primeiros exilados tibetanos a fixar residência no Ocidente, ele tem vivido continuamente nos Estados Unidos por mais de quarenta anos.

In this episode I am joined by Professor John Myrdhin Reynolds, also known as Lama Vajranatha: writer, teacher, translator and scholar/practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism.  Professor Reynolds recounts his adventurous life of practice and scholarship, including extensive travels throughout Asia and discipleship under revered gurus such as Dudjom Rinpoche, Namkai Norbu, and Lopon Tenzin Namdak. Professor Reynolds details his journey through American academia, explains why he turned down an invitation from the CIA to create Tibetan propaganda, and shares anecdotes of Tibetologists such as Hugh Richardson and Edward Conze, including the latter's escape from the Nazis and defection from Communist activism. Professor Reynolds also recalls his first out of body experience brought on by a car crash, the mystical visions of water spirits, dakinis, and other beings that have featured in his life since, and tells the story of the tragic consequences of the Gelugpa destruction of the psychic barrier erected by Padmasambhava to protect Tibet from China. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep200-lama-vajranatha-professor-john-myrdhin-reynolds

From the Intro: “In the 1970's, long before podcasts like our own, there were radio shows whose reach was perhaps more limited, but whose impact was still powerful. Among the best of those shows was “In the Spirit” on WBAI in New York City, in which Lex Hixon interviewed some of the best, most interesting spiritual teachers and thinkers of the 1970s—Alan Watts, Tarthang Tulku, Rabbi Zalman Schachter, Ram Dass. But what made the show really special was Hixon himself, a deep spiritual thinker and practitioner who would soon make his own mark, and whose insight and sincere questions made the show far more interesting. In 2016, Paul Cohen of Monkfish Publishing, published these interviews in a book edited by Sheila Hixon called Conversations in the Spirit: Lex Hixon's WBAI “In the Spirit” Interviews: A Chronicle of the Seventies Spiritual Revolution. We will be using the book, with permission from Monkfish, to look at some of these interviews in the context of where we are today.The first interview we want to examine is from October 8, 1978, with Sufi master Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan (1916-2004), who is the son of Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882-1927), the first Sufi master in the West and the founder of Inayati or Universalist Sufism. This interview, unlike many others, was recorded on-location at the Abode of the Message, Pir Vilayat's Sufi spiritual community in New Lebanon, New York.”Using the interview as a jumping-off point, our dialogue explores the ongoing tension between universalism and particularism, ‘pure' and ‘syncretic' religions, and how to honor a tradition, such as Islamic Sufism, in the face of changes in spiritual perspective, some of which are embodied in Universalist Sufism. Along the way, we reflect on the life and legacy of these two spiritual giants, who were both a part of a larger web of figures on the forefront of the 1970's ‘spiritual revolution' in America, and its impulse towards interspirituality, unity, and spiritual freedom.To supplement our dialogue and exploration, we use samples from the original recording of this interview, which may be found here.If you are interested in the book, Conversations in the Spirit: Lex Hixon's WBAI “In the Spirit” Interviews: A Chronicle of the Seventies Spiritual Revolution edited by Sheila Hixon, it may be purchased here.Links:Charis Foundation for New Monasticism and InterSpiritualityGolden Turtle SoundSupport the show

Warning - this episode contains explicit language. What an absolute delight it was to spend time with the amazing, intuitive, colourful, inspirational, stylin' Rev. Andrea Arlington! An author, coach, minister, mom, former reality TV star, friend, and more, Andrea's response of "I am more non-physical than physical" was the jumping off point for a thoughtful, honest, and insightful conversation filled with bravery and vulnerability, and laughter. As we talked about how to live from the Quantum (infinite possibilities) while still being rooted in our seemingly physical reality (life), we talked parenting, the power of choice, how everyone wants to feel loved and like they belong, and about seeing the innate perfection of everyone - no matter what their behaviour. Andrea told us how our words are like magic wands and that it's so important to choose and use them wisely - that everything we think and say is what ultimately creates the reality we experience. Andrea also talked very poignantly and candidly about how her experimentation with psychedelics at a very early age were her "initiation" into the realm of energy and spirituality, even though she didn't realize it at the time. She also talked about her close relationship with her younger brother, who died at the age of 17 from an accident involving alcohol and other drugs, and how he continues to be one of her spiritual guides to this day. Andrea also introduced us to a few of her favourite books over the years, and the profound value and gift of gazing into your own pupils. We also talked about how much we both love Kenneth Soares and the mind-shifting power of affirmations! We talked perception, soul tribes, calling on the non-physical for guidance, addiction, recovery, compassion, her love for her daughters, her grandkids, Pink Floyd, reality tv, and ministry. This, and so much more...! Plus, there's the super fun Rapid Fire Question Round at the end! A new episode posted at least twice a month!

In Inward: Vipassana Meditation and the Embodiment of the Self (University of Chicago Press, 2019), Michal Pagis, who lectures in sociology at Bar-Ilan university, explores in depth one school of mindfulness, or vipassana, founded by the Indian teacher S.N. Goenka and now established in countries around the world. Pagis draws on her own meditation experience and on in-depth interviews with vipassana meditators in both Israel and the United States. She explores the communities that form when people go on silent meditation retreats, the impact of focusing on bodily sensations over the course of an intensive retreat, and the ways that retreat practice affect practitioners and those close to them. Jack Petranker is the Director of the Center for Creative Inquiry and the Mangalam Research Center in Berkeley, CA. He presents programs in Full Presence Mindfulness, an approach grounded in the teachings of Tibetan lama Tarthang Tulku. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Inmitten einer Krise ist die Chance auf Veränderung, Heilung und Transformation sogar erhöht. Wir sind feinfühliger und wacher. Wenn wir Offenheit entwickeln für unsere Erfahrung, egal wie intensiv sie ist, können wir inneres Vertrauen entwickeln. Vertrauen darin, daß wir wachsen können, gerade dann, wenn es uns am schwersten erscheint. In dieser Folge spricht Curse über grundlegende Offenheit, über emotionale Nähe und seine neue Online Coaching Communitym, die sich genau diese Dinge als Ziel setzt. Das Buch, aus dem Curse vorliest, ist „Wege zum Gleichgewicht“ von Tarthang Tulku – eines seiner absoluten Lieblingsbücher. Viel Freude mit dieser neuen Folge!

Return to loving kindness and the world of possibility. In imagination and in dream, one can create one’s reality completely. Alan adds visualization to the loving kindness practice and explores the potential of accepting possibility and its impacts upon reality. Meditation starts at 26:38 Questions (59:00) about: Alan’s meditation practice, how to make the loving kindness practice more tangible, how to find the subtle breath, whether awareness of awareness extends to the sense fields and how to deal with vivid disturbing dreams. See how Harry Potter, Yangtang Rinpoche, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, The Matrix, Tarthang Tulku, Chairman Mao and pirates can help explain all of this.
