Devon Hase: Guided Reflection on Dukkha and Faith

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center)

(Insight Meditation Society - Forest Refuge) Short reflection and poem on how to recognize dukkha and its capacity to grow trust in the moment.

(Flagstaff Insight Meditation Community)

(Insight Meditation Society - Forest Refuge) The Buddha's Upanisā Sutta offers one of his most quietly radical teachings: that liberation doesn't begin with getting comfortable, but with honestly meeting what hurts. Drawing on this "proximate cause" discourse from SN 12.23, this talk traces the transcendent sequence of dependent origination — from dukkha through faith, joy, tranquility, and insight, all the way to freedom. We'll explore what it means to stop treating difficulty as an obstacle to practice and start recognizing it as the practice's first gate — on the cushion, in daily life, and in our closest relationships.

(Karunahaus) Nicht-Selbst ist eines der drei Grundmerkmale aller Dinge und meint die Abwesenheit einer ewigen, unveränderlichen Seele (atman). Trotzdem entsteht das Gefühl eines Selbst durch den Prozess der Anhaftung an die fünf Daseinsgruppen. Der Vortrag erläutert die Daseinsgruppen und wie das Anhaften an ihnen zu Leiden führt.
