Raised with dreams of becoming a missionary, Dean Patrick's journey took an unexpected detour following a fateful encounter with cocaine in high school. This pivotal moment diverted him from a path of faith toward one of ambition and excess, eventually leading to Stanford and the cutthroat world of cryptocurrency. On this episode, Dean shares his battle with substance abuse and the profound lessons he learned through the chaos of addiction and the healing power of Zen meditation. Dean's story is a raw exploration of the intoxicating pursuit of wealth and the harsh realities it veils. Influenced by his brother's secular views, Dean shifted from his Christian upbringing to atheism, which set the stage for his descent into stimulant use as a means to boost academic performance. The allure of fast money and status through cryptocurrency seemed promising until the 2018 crash thrust him into despair. Through candid reflections, Dean reveals how embracing pain instead of fleeing from it became his gateway to recovery, and how quieting the mind through meditation reshaped his understanding of success. In this episode, you will hear: Dean Patrick's transformation from a Christian upbringing to atheism and later embracing Zen meditation. His battle with addiction starting from a high school encounter with cocaine and escalating during his time at Stanford. The rise and fall of his cryptocurrency hedge fund, culminating in the 2018 market crash. The importance of embracing pain for personal healing and growth. Reflections on the value of community and connection over wealth and status. Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Sie wollte schon immer für Menschen da sein, vor allem Menschen in schwierigen Situationen. Nach dem 2. Weltkrieg war sie Teil der Wiener Kunstszene, die den Deckel der Depression gelüftet haben. Nach verschiedenen Stationen, u.a. Theaterregie und Goldschmiedin landet sie schließlich in der systemischen Psychotherapie. Ein wesentlicher Baustein war und ist für Christl Lieben die Zen-Meditation. Neue Ideen und Inspiration kommen aus der Meditation. Sie sagt: „Es fällt mir (her)ein“. Eines der bevorzugten Instrumente ist die Familienaufstellung, mit der sie immer wieder neue Formate entwickelt. Wenn sich alles auflöst, ist nur mehr die Liebe da! Diese Erkenntnis hat Christl seit einem Kongress mit allen damalig führenden Quantenphysikern 1988 bekommen. „Liebe ist der Grundstoff der Schöpfung“. Wenn ich JA zum Leben sage, dann kommt die Liebe. Die Liebe, mit Herzerl, Blümchen usw. ist eine verklärte Liebe und nicht der Grundstoff, aus dem wir alle entstanden sind. Wir können uns an diese Liebe anschließen und mit ihr durchs Leben gehen. Alles, was geschieht ist von der Liebe getragen. Damit gehen die Ängste weg und es ist sehr viel leichter, mit der Liebe zu gehen. Die Aufstellarbeit ist für Christl Lieben die beste Form Themen zu lösen. Dabei steht jeder für jeden, ohne zu bewerten. Auch im wirtschaftlichen Kontext kann man die Arbeit in die Hände der Liebe legen. Liebe frei von Mitgefühl bedeutet, sich mit dem Partner auf Augenhöhe zu begeben und in tiefen Respekt vor dem Sein des anderen Menschen. Wenn man Mitgefühl empfindet, stellt man sich über den anderen Menschen und schwächt diesen auch – ich bin so arm. Wenn man anhand der Liebe geht, wird das Leben leicht. Dann ist man immer im Vertrauen, egal was passiert, es stimmt. Das ist ein Ja zum Leben im Namen der Liebe.

Zen, Coffee and Alcohol-free living I recently sat down with Billy Wynne, co-founder of Awake, one of the first sober bars in the U.S, and author of the upcoming book, The Empty Path. Billy shares his personal journey of how he gave up alcohol and how all roads started with his Zen Buddhist practice. Billy recalls that initially, like many of us, he made up rules about his drinking, one of which was 'never drink alone'. This led him to acknowledge that drinking didn't really have a place in his life and, in fact, he felt liberated from alcohol vs. deprived. He shares the story of Awake and his experience with opening one of the first sober bars in the U.S.   Awake closed in 2022, but not before sparking new ideas for many. Billy and I chat about his first book (available March 2025), The Empty Path: Finding Fullfillment through the Radical Art of Lessening. We also chatted about: Equanimity and mindfulness meditation Presence-based coaching The art of Savoring Time, Parenting and Travel... and more! Show Notes HERE

DOGEN ON ZAZENUpon returning to Japan from China in 1227, at the age of 27, Master Dogen composed the first draft of Fukanzazengi, the tract in which he outlines the principles of seated meditation, or zazen, that he had learned under the tutelage of Master Rujing. In one of the English translations, about two-thirds of the way through the text, he asks a question of the reader: Now that you know the most important thing in Buddhism, how can you be satisfied with the transient world? Our bodies are like dew on the grass and our lives like a flash of lightning, vanishing in a moment. At this point in the piece, he has said many things about the physical method of meditation, interwoven with suggestions of the philosophy, attitude adjustments and correctives to conventional wisdom that accompany the practice. So what he means to indicate as the most important thing is subject to speculation. This may reflect a translator's choice anomaly, a known issue in the art of interpreting ancient teachings. To home in on this most important thing more closely, let's look at a brief, pointed poem, “Zazenshin,” that Dogen paraphrased from a Chinese version. It means something like “Acupuncture Needle” or “Lancet” – a very sharp instrument – for or about zazen: Zazen-shin - Shohaku Okumura, trans. The essential-function of each buddha and the functioning-essence of each ancestor.
Being actualized within not-thinking.Being manifested within non-interacting.Being actualized within not-thinking, the actualization is by nature intimate.Being manifested within non-interacting, the manifestation is itself verification.The actualization that is by nature intimate never has defilement.
The manifestation that is by nature verification never has distinction between Absolute and Relative.The intimacy without defilement is dropping off without relying on anything.The verification beyond distinction between Absolute and Relative is making effort without aiming at it.The water is clear to the earth; a fish is swimming like a fish.
The sky is vast, extending to the heavens; a bird is flying like a bird. So from this we may take it that the most important thing has something to do with not thinking and non-interacting, and not distinguishing between the absolute and relative. It is pointing at something intimate, undefiled by conventional wisdom, and that has nothing to do with our reliance on common understanding, and goal-oriented efforts. To which we can only respond, “Hmmm. Thank you Dogen, for clearing that up.” MATSUOKA ON DOGENClearly, this message is about something beyond words, that language can only point at, if it is beyond thinking itself. Let's explore some more contemporary quotes from Matsuoka-roshi to see if we can zoom in on the meaning of these passages. O-Sensei simplified Dogen Zenji's instructions for his American students, condensing them into three discrete areas: posture, breath, and attention. The following are three expressions he would use frequently, addressing questions about zazen: Keep aiming at the perfect posture never imagining that you've achieved it You have to work your way through every bone in your body When your posture is approaching the stage of perfection, it will feel as if you are shoving your head against the ceiling The first, about aiming without achieving, makes Dogen's “making effort without aiming at it” a bit more concrete by narrowly defining “it” as the upright posture. This is in keeping with the Zen premise that the zazen posture is the full expression of enlightenment, not merely a means to the end of enlightenment. It also reminds us that there can be no separation of body and mind in Zen, nor, indeed, in reality. And that the natural process of Zen is open-ended, based on aspiration as opposed to expectation. The second indicates that this is going to be a steady, slow process on a visceral level, sitting “with muscle and bone,” as my senior dharma brother in Chicago, Kongo-roshi, titled one of his talks. There are a lot of bones in your body. And the bones, of course, are not separate from the skin, flesh, and marrow, the connective tissue, as Master Bodhidharma taught. “Working your way through” recalls the famous dictum from the poet Robert Frost, paraphrasing, “the only way out is through.” The third seems to contradict the first, when Sensei describes what he frequently referred to as the “sitting-mountain feeling” that eventually comes from zazen. We are to aim at it without concluding that we've achieved it, because “Zen goes deeper,” as he would often say. No matter how seemingly complete and transcendent our immediate experience, it is not the end of the process, an attitude adjustment first articulated by Buddha himself in the “Fifty False States” section of the Surangama Sutra. The main admonition is that, no matter what happens in your meditation, not to imagine that you are now completely enlightened. Even Buddha returned to meditation for the fifty years of his life following his profound insight. But this “shoving your head against the ceiling” sensation is something that I can personally attest to from my modest experience on the cushion. I suspect that when we pull back on the chin, stretching the back of our neck with strength, a specific detail of the posture emphasized by Matsuoka-roshi, it has the effect of shoving our skull against the scalp, which would then feel like the resistance of a solid, external surface like a ceiling. The entire body is a tension-compression structure, much like a camping tent, where the bones of the skeleton are the compression members under stress from the surrounding membrane of musculature, tendons and ligaments, like the canvas and ropes of the tent. HAKUIN'S GAS PEDALThe other end of the “tentpole” is the base of the spine, connecting to the coccyx, or tailbone. Hakuin Zenji, a famous Rinzai priest whose life span bridged the 17th and 18th centuries, from 1686 to1769, recommended that we push forward and down on the lower spine until we feel a bit of pain there. That sensation derives from stretching the hard tissue of the discs between the large lower vertebrae. Even more today than in his time, our posture tends to be c-shaped, sometimes referred to as a “cashew,” when we sit in the driver's seat of our vehicles on the expressway, or the chair at our desk. The natural position of the spine is an “S-shape” curve, bending the lower back in the opposite direction, like a cobra rising from the floor, dancing to the tune of the snake-charmer's flute. I call this Hakuin's gas pedal. Like the accelerator of your car or truck, if you keep your foot on it, pressing forward and down, the vehicle moves. If you let up on it, it slows to a stop. On the other hand, if you go pedal to the metal, it speeds out of control. The Middle Way again, in all its manifestations. So the most important thing, as regards the posture, at least, may be keeping these two pressure points in play while sitting. If you do so, you can't go far wrong in terms of sitting upright. Breathing and attention also come into the picture, but that may be a subject for another UnMind. Let me close this segment with a couple of aphorisms that have come to me in my practice. ME ON ZAZEN I do not claim to have the depth of insight and understanding of our ancestors, and recognize that context, while not determinative of Zen experience, certainly counts. What Buddha, Bodhidharma, the great ancestors in China, and Dogen himself managed to accomplish under relatively primitive conditions in no way compares to what we may expect to realize under relatively cushy but geometrically more complex circumstances. But as they did in their times we must do in ours — namely use what we know to inform our efforts in exploring what we do not know, and cannot know, in any ordinary sense. So, here, I want to introduce two terms that may have no counterpart in their language. PROPRIOCEPTION MEETS VERTIGOProprioception is a term from modern physiology, defined as: Perception or awareness of the position and movement of the body Vertigo is defined as: A sensation of whirling and loss of balance, associated particularly with looking down from a great height, or caused by disease affecting the inner ear or the vestibular nerve; giddiness. In terms of our experience in zazen, then, proprioception would be akin to samadhi, or at least its early stages, when, as Matsuoka-roshi said: When posture, breath, and attention all come together in a unified way, that is the real zazen. Now, if there is “real” zazen, it implies that there must be “unreal” or “fake” zazen, or the false impression that we are doing zazen when we are not, really. Samadhi is a jargon term that I hesitate to use, as it implies that I know what it means while suggesting that you probably do not. Which sets up the false dichotomy of “you and I,” “us and them,” the in-group cognoscenti versus the great unwashed. Sensei also pointed out, at the Zen Buddhist Temple of Chicago, paraphrasing, “When you become dizzy, concentrate on your knees.” And “When you get nauseous, concentrate on your forehead.” Or it may have been the other way around. The main point is that you probably will get dizzy, and you probably will get nauseous, in zazen. This brings up another coinage, for which I claim authorship: Let not the spiritual be the enemy of the practical I detect a vestigial strain of puritanism in the American culture that can infect our understanding and presentation of Zen, as a kind of belief system, a set of doctrines that one must subscribe to, in order to penetrate the inner sanctum of Zen's purported spiritual secrets. This is anathema to the real Zen, as I understand it. All of Master Dogen's instructions in Fukanzazengi are physical, not mental, as Carl Bielefeldt points out in his “Dogen's Manuals of Zen Meditation,” a wonderful, incisive line-by-line analysis of Dogen's two extant revisions compared to the Chinese original. So let's stay focused on the physical, and not get distracted by any woo-woo “spiritual.” If we continue sitting without expectation, implementing the two pressure points until we feel tMatsuoka-roshi's “sitting mountain feeling” of great stability — our head “pressed against the ceiling” — the body and mind will take us where we need to go. We trust our teachers' intent and wisdom, and we trust our Original Mind, as indicated in the title of Hsinhsinming, the earliest Ch'an poem chanted in Soto liturgy. If we sustain this posture — sitting still enough and straight enough for long enough — it will work its magic. Equilibrium will set in in the tension-compression system of muscle and bone of the body, leading to equipoise of the mind. Sustained for some time, the constancy of our proprioception will inevitably lead to vertigo — the flip side of solidity. “Mountains are always walking” — the planet is falling through space. There is “not even a toehold.” Emptiness is innately form, form innately emptiness. In the next segment of UnMind, we will put a cap on “Election Year Zen,” my tenth and final concluding commentary on the 2024 campaign, now that we know how it all turned out. But like a centipede, or millipede, there are surely many more shoes to drop.

Cohen suchte zeitlebens und obsessiv nach Spiritualität: in der jüdischen Mystik Kabbala, im Zen-Buddhismus wie auch in christlichen Texten. Cohen lebte aber auch obsessiv: mit viel Sex, Zigaretten und Alkohol. Erst vor der letzten Welttour verschwanden seine lebenslangen Depressionen: «Halleluja!» Der Singer Songwriter Leonard Cohen wurde auch «Nachtigall vom Sinai» genannt. Und zwar weil er für die israelischen Soldaten im Jom-Kippur-Krieg 1973 auf dem Sinai sang. Im Song «Who by fire» zitiert Cohen sogar Verse aus der Jom-Kippur-Liturgie. Im Judentum kannte sich der anerkannte Lyriker Leonard Cohen ebenso gut aus wie in der Weltliteratur, erzählt der Basler Kulturwissenschaftler Caspar Battegay. Caspar Battegay findet in Cohens Songs jede Menge Bezüge zu Bibel, Talmud, jüdischer Liturgie und Mystik, aber auch zur Bergpredigt Jesu und buddhistischen Texten. Leonard Cohen praktizierte Zen-Meditation und lebte mehrere Jahre als Mönch in einem strengen Zen-Kloster bei Los Angeles. Gleichzeitig behielt Leonard Cohen die jüdische Identität: Auf dem jüdischen Friedhof seiner Heimat Montreal liegt er begraben. Und bei der letzten Einspielung des Songs: «You want it darker» begleitet ihn der Synagogenchor. In Perspektiven spüren wir dem Düsteren wie Tröstlichen bei Leonard Cohen nach, denn: «There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in», singt Cohen im Lied «Anthem»: Es sei ein Bruch, ein Knacks in allem, - auf diese Weise kommt das Licht hinein.

Have we confined the true essence of sainthood within too narrow a boundary? In this episode of 'Voices with Vervaeke,' John Vervaeke welcomes Christopher Mastropeitro and Andrew Sweeny for a discussion that delves into the philosophical and spiritual dimensions of their innovative project, the Philosophical Silk Road. Together, they challenge contemporary notions of sainthood and wisdom, drawing connections between Zen Buddhism, Neoplatonism, and Tantric practices. Through personal anecdotes and reflective dialogue, the trio examines the essence of saints and sages, the importance of humor and humility in spiritual journeys, and the delicate balance between our finite existence and the quest for transcendence. Join John, Chris, and Andrew as they share their spiritual paths and encounters with saintly figures, advocating for a renewed appreciation of the sacred in our modern world.   Andrew Sweeny is an educator, writer, musician, and podcaster. He teaches at Sciences Po University in Paris and is an editor at Parallax magazine. Sweeny explores Zen Buddhism, Tantric practices, and music through his media platform, Parallax, offering courses and podcasts. Christopher Mastropietro is a philosophical writer fascinated by dialogue, symbols, and the concept of self. He is the executive director and an active contributor to the Vervaeke Foundation, collaborating on projects exploring wisdom, spirituality, and transformative dialogue.   Connect with a community dedicated to self-discovery and purpose, and gain deeper insights by joining our Patreon.   —   00:00 Introducing the Guests and the Philosophical Silk Road 02:50 Andrew's Path: Zen, Tantra, and Music 05:05 Exploring the Philosophical Silk Road 07:00 Dialogos and Sacred Emergence 10:40 Setting the Stage: Connecting Zen, Neoplatonism, and Theurgy 21:40 Tantra's Influence in East and West 31:40 Reflections on Saintliness       44:25 The Enigma of Crazy Wisdom and Non-Conformity 52:10 Understanding the Hidden Order and Profound Humanity of Saints 01:09:05 The Role of Romanticism and Humor in Sainthood 01:17:40 Pilgrimage and the Saintly Path 01:19:30 Final Reflections        —   The Vervaeke Foundation is committed to advancing the scientific pursuit of wisdom and creating a significant impact on the world.

Hi Everyone! I am so beyond excited to welcome back Deborah Eden Tull. Eden is a Zen Meditation teacher, author, activist, founder of Mindful Revolution, and teacher of mine. We had Eden on the podcast in 2022 (link below) and I'm beyond thrilled to invite her back this year to dive deeper into luminous darkness, embodiment, her presence as a feminine teacher in a mostly Patriachical religion (re: Buddhism), and how to find an essence of trust and surrender in the midst of turbulent times. Today we cover:- Luminous darkness: why our relationship with the “dark” is so important- understanding the root of light vs. dark: from yin/yang symbology, to good vs. bad- the power of open hearted listening- Why “sun-shining” or the “always see the light” is actually harming us and those around us- The fine line between aversion to “darkness” and over receptivity without boundaries - how to discover that balance- Endarkenment alongside enlightenment + what that tangibly looks like- Navigating patriachical religions and philosophies as a female Zen teacher and how to foster or re-remember that yin/dark energy within these philosophies- Embodiment: what it is and why it's important- so much moreAbout Eden:Deborah Eden Tull, founder of the nonprofit Mindful Living Revolution, is Zen meditation/mindfulness teacher, author, and spiritual activist. She spent seven years as a monastic at a silent Zen Monastery, and has been immersed in sustainable communities for 25 years. Eden's teaching style is grounded in compassionate awareness, non-duality, mindful inquiry, and an unwavering commitment to personal transformation. She teaches dharma intertwined with post-patriarchal thought and practices, resting upon a lived knowledge of our unity with the more than human world. She also facilitates The Work That Reconnects, as created by Buddhist scholar Joanna Macy. Eden has been practicing meditation for the past 30 years and teaching for over 20 years. Her books include Luminous Darkness: An Engaged Buddhist Approach to Embracing the Unknown (Shambhala 2022), Relational Mindfulness: A Handbook for Deepening Our Connection with Our Self, Each Other, and Our Planet (Wisdom 2018), and The Natural Kitchen: Your Guide to the Sustainable Food Revolution (Process Media 2011).

Copyright: ⁠https://shaolin-rainer.de⁠ Bitte laden Dir auch meine App "Buddha-Blog" aus den Stores von ⁠Apple⁠ und ⁠Android⁠. ⁠Please support me on Patreon Das mystische Reich des Chan offenbart sich nur durch das Leiden. Manche denken, dass dies eine pessimistische oder perverse Sichtweise einer Praxis wie der Meditation ist, die von jedem durchgeführt werden kann. Doch ich sage Dir, dass das ruhige Sitzen mit den Techniken der Zen-Meditation tatsächlich auf bemerkenswerte Weise dem Leben zugutekommen kann. Es wird Dich jedoch allein nicht zu Chan führen. Chan ist nur notwendig, wenn man in einem extremen Zustand des Leidens ist. Zen wird oft als eine 'coole Sache' betrachtet, die man machen kann. Man kann lernen, wie man für ein oder zwei Stunden mit gekreuzten Beinen sitzt und seine Atemzüge zählt. Wir neigen dazu, das Bild von Chan auf seine tatsächliche Essenz zu reduzieren, ohne wirklich zu verstehen, was diese Essenz ist. Das ist keine schlechte Sache; tatsächlich ist es völlig natürlich. Warum verlangt Chan, dass Du leidest, um Zugang zu seiner Sphäre zu erhalten? Es fordert von Dir, Dein altes Selbst abzulegen: alles loszulassen, mit dem Du Dich identifiziert hast – dein Image, deinen Beruf, deine Freunde, deine Familie. Alles muss gehen. Die einzige Zeit, in der du bereit und fähig sein wirst, dies zu tun, ist, wenn du so sehr leidest, dass es dir gleichgültig wird, an diesen Dingen festzuhalten. Du kannst deinem Willen nicht einfach befehlen, dies zu tun. Der Wille kann nur durch den Wunsch des Selbst befohlen werden, sich zu offenbaren. Wenn du stirbst, scheint das Selbst (Buddha-Selbst, wahre Natur, Gott ... wie auch immer du es nennen möchtest) mit erstaunlicher Klarheit durch. Dann betrittst du die Sphäre von Chan. Dort transformieren wir uns von unseren Ego- Leidenschaften und Wünschen, um von der Klarheit des Seins, dem Dharma, geleitet zu werden. Einige fragen mich, ob ich denke, dass jeder leiden sollte, wenn ich darüber spreche, dass Leiden notwendig ist, um Chan zu praktizieren. Ich wünsche mir, dass niemand leiden muss. Leiden ist jedoch allgegenwärtig. Wenn wir nicht leiden, könnte es daran liegen, dass wir unsere Augen verschließen, unsere Ohren taub machen und unseren Geist ausschalten. Wir leiden innerlich, aber wir entscheiden uns, nicht hinzuschauen. In unserer Psyche haben wir alle 'dunkle' Elemente. Solche Erfahrungen entstehen in der Kindheit auf natürliche Weise. Wir machen sie, wenn wir uns mit der 'dunklen' Seite anderer Menschen auseinandersetzen, sei es durch unsere Eltern, Schullehrer oder Freunde und Verwandte. Wenn wir jung sind, kann unser sich entwickelndes Gehirn die verschiedenen Formen von 'dunklen' Emotionen, die von anderen auf uns projiziert werden, nicht verarbeiten. Diese emotionalen Elemente prägen unsere Vorstellung davon, wer wir sind - unsere persönlichen Identitäten. Wenn wir uns entscheiden, in unsere Psyche zu schauen, werden wir leiden, wenn wir die unterdrückte Angst und Unsicherheit aufdecken, die dort lauern. Aber diese Praxis müssen wir wollen. Niemand kann uns durch irgendeine Methode auf diesen Weg zwingen. Während ausgedehnter Sitzungen mit täglichen Chan-Meditationen von 8 bis 10 Stunden (oder mehr) erleben einige Teilnehmende psychische Herausforderungen. Viele Menschen haben diese Erfahrung gemacht, und es gibt mehrere 'Überlebende', die längere Aufenthalte in psychiatrischen Einrichtungen durchlebt haben und darüber berichten können. In vielen Chan-Gruppen wird oft betont, dass alle Teilnehmenden für längere Zeiträume meditieren sollen, um ihre Chancen auf Erleuchtung zu verbessern. Die Idee dahinter ist, dass jeder, der an einem mehrtägigen Meditationsretreat teilnimmt, psychologisch und emotional darauf vorbereitet ist. Wenn Menschen jedoch ohne angemessene Bereitschaft oder Vorbereitung in diese intensive Praxis gedrängt werden, kann es zu erheblichen Schwierigkeiten kommen.
