Buddhism The essential points 강의 조셉(1시간)

[조성래]

awareness 깨어있음 and mindfulness 알아차림 

삼독 : 탐진치 = 갈망, 혐오, 자신에 대해 어두움

깨어 있는다. 순간 순간 자신의 행위와 그 의도를 알아차린다. 알아차림이 잘 되면 좀 더 주의를 기우려서 자신의 몸과 마음에서 일어나고 있는 현상들을 관찰한다.

Buddhism The essential points -

This talk is so clear, precise and deep that, listening to it for the fifth time or so, I just assumed the proper posture, shut my eyes, took a few full breaths, directed as much awareness and mindfulness as my modest beginner's capabilities allowed and just followed it through as a guided meditation. Thank you Joseph Goldstein and Pascale Ferradini for this precious gem of wisdom. Namaste 🙏

I really like his talks, and he gives a really concise explanation (around 48 minutes) to reconcile the apparent contradiction between the doctrines of non-self and rebirth. But concisely explained or not, the belief in rebirth is comforting conjecture and an obstruction at the gate. It remains a contradiction to and distraction away from the profound states to be found in facing impermanence, non-self and ambiguity. Like the teachings of Buddha Nature which seek to console the coward within against the nihilist fear, the dogma of rebirth is like a thief at the gate to enlightenment.

A wise teacher, a gentle man and a compassionate soul.

That piece towards the end regarding the past as a concept only existing in the now...really good!! Made total sense. /\ :)

Beautiful teaching, and joyous reminder of the beauty of the Dhama.

Thanks for posting this. It is so enriching and refreshing

everything about anything

Super interesting. Makes me want to learn more about Buddhism. One beautiful habit that really anybody can take away from this is brutal honesty about everything that happens in our minds. Thoughts matter not only actions. The motivation behind socially "good" acts like sharing or helping others are a good field to start. There are many possible reasons why people help other people. Teal Swan has a nice video about this on you tube. Anyway, thanks for sharing this video. I´m sure the motivation to do so was pure ;)

the self is a pattern? Who recognises that this succession of thoughts is a pattern? We see there is no substrate? Who sees? how are we ever going to see the self. The self is He who sees, you cannot see the self, you can only be the self.The Self is not peace, it is absolute bliss. Being aware of thoughts is not going to help. Neither is trying to improve your mind, as this means you are using your views of what is good and what is bad. Who says this is right? The buddha? If you are looking for the self, you need to look elsewhere. aanany@live.com

Thank you for this beautiful message.

I am sorry to burden this thread with my message.

I am in emotional pain from a great loss.

I haven't been able to find my inner peace.

What am I doing to not find joy again.

I am finding myself moving away from the middle ground to grief at all times.

I long to see the beauty again, yet I see nothing.

Selflessness is just another level of delusion. Even the most sophisticated lecture can not make you enlightened. In fact nothing can make you enlightened.

This comment is the best Dharma you will ever come across and yet it won't enlighten you at all.

Sounds like a belief system – just one among many many others. I wonder what happens to non-believers after death according to buddhists' belief?
