Meditation i hverdagen

Shastri Janet Solyntjes presents peaceful abiding meditation, grundlæggende godhed, og måder, hvorpå meditationspraksis kan forbedre kvaliteten af ​​vores daglige liv. Ved at uddybe vores oplevelse og forståelse af os selv gennem meditation, vi bliver mere fuldt ud dem, vi allerede er.

Tilfredshed i hverdagen

Tilfredshed kan være svær at finde. Meget af tiden søger vi efter tilfredshed i tingene, achievements or relationships. In this course Acharya Eve Rosenthal shows how, med meditation og kontemplationspraksis, vi kan slappe af med os selv, som vi er, og værdsætte simple menneskelige erfaringer.

Glæde i hverdagen

Holly Gayley underviser i at vække hjertet og dyrke et medfølende syn. Efterhånden som meditationspraksis udvides, og vi udvikler tillid til grundlæggende godhed, vi kan begynde at opdage selvtilliden og den personlige energi til at gå videre på rejsen. At forene mildhed med disciplin fører til en følelse af glæde. Mahayana-lærdommen om medfølelse kan blive inspirationen til et liv i tapperhed og frihed fra tvivl.

Frygtløshed i hverdagen

Acharya Gaylon Ferguson leads this class on working with fear and cultivating a fearless approach to life. At lære at arbejde med vores angst, vi er ikke blokeret af frygt. Gennem en udforskning af den buddhistiske lære om sindet og virkelighedens natur, vi lærer at se klart.

Visdom i hverdagen

John Rockwell teaches this five-session course. Meditation skærper vores intelligens og afdækker vores visdom. Når vi rører verden direkte, vi opdager almindelig magi. Ikke længere afskrækket eller nedtrykt af forhindringer, vi kan inkludere alt som en del af vejen og lege med det, der opstår. Dagligdagens udfordringer og rigdom bliver muligheder for både kontemplativ praksis og social og økologisk handling.

The Basic Goodness Series

In this 3-minute clip, Adam Lobel provides an overview of the Basic Goodness series.

Basic Goodness of Being Human:  Hvem er jeg?

Adam Lobel leder deltagerne på en rejse med kontemplativ undersøgelse med fokus på det tidløse spørgsmål, “Hvem er jeg?” Course participants will:

• Learn Buddhist teachings on how our sense of self arises moment by moment to provide a reference point.
• Use meditation practice as a way to contact and express the mind of basic goodness.
• Join a community for discussion, fordybelses- og dialogøvelser.

Basic Goodness of Society: Hvordan kan jeg hjælpe?

Acharya Arawana Hayashi teaches this six-session course exploring our relationships with others, the aspiration to help our world, og specifikke aspekter af social transformation. Vi ser på en Shambhala-forståelse af samfundet, og hvad oplyst samfund kan være. Is society something that is ultimately confused, or is there goodness in human society? The course focuses on transforming four aspects of society: relations with family (household), professional life, entertainment, and economy. We learn the traditional mahayana practice of “sending and taking” (tong len).

Hvad er ægte? Virkelighedens grundlæggende godhed

In this course taught by John Rockwell, participants explore the ordinary magic of reality and learn about the progressive stages of discovering non-dual perception of the elements, and thus, the nature of mind. Students will be taking sense perceptions and the elements as their teachers. The course is experientially oriented to see, hear, røre ved, taste and smell reality afresh. We awaken to the innate capacity we all possess to explore and directly experience the essence of reality, the essence of basic goodness.

How the Courses Work. Designed for those without access to teachers at a nearby Shambhala Center, these online courses feature recorded talks by senior Shambhala teachers, and an online community of participants. Over 6 til 8 weeks, course participants view recorded teachings and engage in contemplations and exercises aimed at deepening their understanding. Please note that one aspect of the course involves meeting with your meditation instructor to discuss the contemplations. Credit will be noted upon completion of a course.
