Buddha Blog English Podcast Episode 30Hello and welcome to Buddha Blog, the Buddhist podcast.Your show for Buddhist topics, mindfulness and meditation.I am Shaolin Rainer, and I am very happy that you are here.I would like to take this opportunity to introduce this project to you. I dream of a world where the values and contents of Buddhist philosophy are as natural as eating or drinking.That's why I started this podcast.Buddhism in everyday life - Mindfulness in every day actionsPlease also download my app "Buddha-Blog English" from the Apple and Android stores.This podcast is largely funded by its listeners. I would be happy to welcome you as a supporter as well. Thank you to everyone who supports Buddha Blog in their own way.Contents of the podcast:1-Gifts to my self part 32-Gifts to my self part 43-Self-sabotage4-The universe and us5-The inner critic6-Beginning7-This world is a brutal place8-The futureOur spiritual expectations are great, we like to talk about the universe, we occasionally see ourselves as part of it, but we are immensely afraid of the infinite vastness, of the areas that no human being has ever entered, at least that's what we think.The pure being is already a mystery, we, our ego, the personality that represents us, the ego, nothing of it we understand even in the beginning, the universe not even in fragments.But with the Buddhist teaching we can leave behind the human dimension, become one with the great emptiness, whoever recognizes his true Buddha nature can have a deep experience with being, live through all the dimensions of life in all its diversity, leave behind the relative life, turn towards the light that seems dark.If we want to be unified beings, then we should find our way to the Buddha's path, explore the depth of existences, experience true meaning. But those who prefer to run after material things will probably miss the fork in the road, will not give the necessary meaning to the little things.Because nothing really makes sense, who adheres to the philosophy of Buddha knows about the singularity, who has escaped the chaos, has left suffering behind. We humans do not have to suffer, if we want to, we simply stop doing so.But the one who shies away from deep experience will not come to the right place, will not make the appropriate perception, because he/she only wants to satisfy the senses, goes after the transient cravings, is too busy to even begin to comprehend the truth of his/her own existence.Did you enjoy the podcast?Thank you for listening to Buddha Blog.

29-Bad becomes good - Buddha-Blog-English-Podcast

Buddha Blog English Podcast Episode 28Hello and welcome to Buddha Blog, the Buddhist podcast.Your show for Buddhist topics, mindfulness and meditation.I am Shaolin Rainer, and I am very happy that you are here.I would like to take this opportunity to introduce this project to you. I dream of a world where the values and contents of Buddhist philosophy are as natural as eating or drinking.That's why I started this podcast.Buddhism in everyday life - Mindfulness in every day actionsPlease also download my app "Buddha-Blog English" from the Apple and Android stores.This podcast is largely funded by its listeners. I would be happy to welcome you as a supporter as well. Thank you to everyone who supports Buddha Blog in their own way.Today the podcast is about a meditation, the space meditation. Feel free to join.Space meditationThis is a meditation for sublimity and humility, guided by the intention to reach enlightenment.It is about the space we occupy and the space that a person "should" occupy, but can not occupy because the center is missing. This can be worked on, life is hard, without diligence no prize, without discipline no Buddhism.The goal is to release the consciousness and "let go", not to attach anything.Sit calm and tense, straight and erect, but after a few breaths relaxed, the face, the neck, the shoulders, the breathing deepens, takes more space, the space shows itself, which is "my" space, do I bring the necessary discipline that it takes for this.Now a particularly deep breath, then we fill the word "OM" with air, with our mouth closed we blow OM into us, keep the energy in us, but breathe out the used air.In the first round, hum the OM three times, then breathe normally for one minute, as you wish. Then breathe out the OM "silently" five times, deep inhale, silent exhale (through the nose), you hum OM but you do not speak it.Continue to leave the consciousness behind, no longer perceive the body as "your" body, but see it as "a" body, the mind detach from the ego, which wants to persuade you "that you can't do it".Feel the boundaries of the space you occupy, where does your backside sit up, what points on your legs are in contact with the floor, where are your hands, where does your skin end? Briefly become aware of the boundaries before you finally shift consciousness into nirvana, at least for a while.From now on you breathe in and out at the sound of my stick.Did you enjoy the podcast?Thank you for listening to Buddha Blog.

27-Buddhist Ceremony - Buddha-Blog-English-Podcast

Buddha Blog English Podcast Episode 26Hello and welcome to Buddha Blog, the Buddhist podcast.Your show for Buddhist topics, mindfulness and meditation.I am Shaolin Rainer, and I am very happy that you are here.I would like to take this opportunity to introduce this project to you. I dream of a world where the values and contents of Buddhist philosophy are as natural as eating or drinking.That's why I started this podcast.Buddhism in everyday life - Mindfulness in every day actionsPlease also download my app "Buddha-Blog English" from the Apple and Android stores.This podcast is largely funded by its listeners. I would be happy to welcome you as a supporter as well. Thank you to everyone who supports Buddha Blog in their own way.Contents of the podcast:1-Learning to fail2-Toxic Positivity Part 13-3 mindful steps4-Accept what is!5-Toxic Positivity Part  26-Virtues7-The red-brown leaves8-The only true wayThose who can fail find inner strength. In psychology, a good ability to fail is called resilience. Here, mental health is maintained to such an extent that even in the case of serious or stressful events, the person concerned can cope well with the situation, has the ability not to lose mental balance.And this resilience can be learned, of course it is also partly hereditary, but it can be trained quite easily. People can be divided into two groups here, namely those who are naturally quite hearty, easily coping with difficulties, and then the other group, who are much more sensitive, who can be upset by stress and lose their cool at any time.The foundation for a positive worldview is laid in childhood, and the ability to fail is a cornerstone that will be learned in a healthy home. And even in later life it is important to have a healthy environment, normal caregivers who will stand by you even in times of stress and problems. Those who have an environment that believes in them are already far ahead.To learn to fail, one must expose oneself to situations in which one then acquires security. Those who know in advance that they will fail can face it calmly. And whoever repeatedly puts himself in such situations in which he will fail, can then calmly await the things that may come even in the situations in which he has not planned to fail. In this way, one promotes the building of problem solving skills and is adequately prepared for future stressful situations.Did you enjoy the podcast?Thank you for listening to Buddha Blog.

Those who have an environment that believes in them are already far ahead.To learn to fail, one must expose oneself to situations in which one then acquires security. Those who know in advance that they will fail can face it calmly. And whoever repeatedly puts himself in such situations in which he will fail, can then calmly await the things that may come even in the situations in which he has not planned to fail. In this way, one promotes the building of problem solving skills and is adequately prepared for future stressful situations. Did you enjoy the podcast? Thank you for listening to Buddha Blog.

I would be happy to welcome you as a supporter as well. Thank you to everyone who supports Buddha Blog in their own way.Contents of the podcast:1-The end of the evil conditions2-What do I want from life?3-Live more consciously4-Stories from China5-Self-knowledge6-Mental suffering7-Buddha explains meditation8-Game of lifeThe Buddhist story goes that the Buddha's son, Rahula, asked his father questions about the technique of meditation. The young man was particularly interested in the breathing technique practiced by his father.Buddha gave him to understand that also with the breath the transitoriness of all being is in the foreground of his conception. Therefore, according to the teacher of all teachers, Rahula should develop a "serene" approach, seeing himself as another kind of "space" in which energy flows freely.The breathing exercises themselves should focus on the "presentness" of each breath, calming the mind and body, and feeling joy from the calmness.From the joy further develops an inner collection, a liberation of the heart, which will inevitably arise with each inhalation and exhalation.From the above mentioned transitoriness it follows that every in-breath and every out-breath will be for "letting go", for allowing the breath, but also for eliminating one's ego.Also, he should dedicate the meditation to goodness, mercy, joy for others and overcoming desire, so as to overcome evil, cruelty, ill-will, ego-centeredness and attachment to people and things.After the elements "earth", "water", "wind" and "fire", the wise father advised the son to subordinate his efforts to the elements, to become serene in meditation like the "elements".Did you enjoy the podcast?Thank you for listening to Buddha Blog.

Readers of my texts know that according to Buddha (in this life) we probably don't carry any guilt, because our karma might have already been acquired in previous lives, life comes anyway as it is supposed to come. So there is also no reason not to love yourself. So say the following sentence to yourself in exceptional situations: "I am good just the way I am."If you fall into doubt then first take a deep breath, I recommend breathing meditation to come to some peace, because only in peace lies strength.Did you enjoy the podcast?Thank you for listening to Buddha Blog.

Buddha Blog English Podcast Episode Hello and welcome to Buddha Blog, the Buddhist podcast.Your show for Buddhist topics, mindfulness and meditation.I am Shaolin Rainer, and I am very happy that you are here.I would like to take this opportunity to introduce this project to you. I dream of a world where the values and contents of Buddhist philosophy are as natural as eating or drinking.That's why I started this podcast.Buddhism in everyday life - Mindfulness in every day actionsPlease also download my app "Buddha-Blog English" from the Apple and Android stores.This podcast is largely funded by its listeners.

Thank you to everyone who supports Buddha Blog in their own way.Contents of the podcast:  1-Insect mortality 2-Love can kill 3-The perfect teaching 4-When is it enough? 5-The unshakable 6-Samsara 7-Self love part 1 8-Buddha and the angerOnce when Buddha was with his followers in the park, a disciple asked, "Lord, how can we control anger?"Buddha answered with a story. He said, "Whoever hears this tale will have his anger under control, will no longer lose control."You wanderers hear, "Long ago, a quarrelsome woman lived in a village. Even over trifles she became terribly angry; in her anger she cursed under her breath, used all sorts of insults. Then when the anger went back she was very sorry for everything, she couldn't explain the outbursts.""Her family was very sad about her behavior, the whole atmosphere in the house was like poisoned, something had to change.""One day a monk came to her house, asked for alms. The woman gave plenty, then lamented her sorrow to the man, told of her mood swings, told that she would quickly become very angry, but would always regret afterwards that she could not control herself."The monk replied, "Woman, I have here a small bottle of medicine, just the thing for you. This is a medicine for anger, you are lucky that I have this very bottle with me. When you get angry again, you must take three drops of the medicine on your tongue, and then keep it in your mouth for five minutes. You must not open your mouth or the medicine will not work."

He said, "Whoever hears this tale will have his anger under control, will no longer lose control."You wanderers hear, "Long ago, a quarrelsome woman lived in a village. Even over trifles she became terribly angry; in her anger she cursed under her breath, used all sorts of insults. Then when the anger went back she was very sorry for everything, she couldn't explain the outbursts.""Her family was very sad about her behavior, the whole atmosphere in the house was like poisoned, something had to change.""One day a monk came to her house, asked for alms. The woman gave plenty, then lamented her sorrow to the man, told of her mood swings, told that she would quickly become very angry, but would always regret afterwards that she could not control herself."The monk replied, "Woman, I have here a small bottle of medicine, just the thing for you. This is a medicine for anger, you are lucky that I have this very bottle with me. When you get angry again, you must take three drops of the medicine on your tongue, and then keep it in your mouth for five minutes. You must not open your mouth or the medicine will not work." The monk left the incredulous looking woman.Nevertheless, she took the medicine as the monk had instructed. In a short time she lost her anger, suddenly she could control herself.The monk came back after some time to check on her. The woman was very grateful, she kissed the monk's hands, she spoke: "Oh wise man, the medicine helps, I don't get angry anymore, I can control myself. My family is very happy, the mood is better than it has been for a long time." The Teacher of all Teachers went on to explain that anger can only be controlled by staying calm, because angry people sometimes speak bad words that poison the environment.

Gladly I would like to be your alarm clock, your alarm, the man who accompanies you in the 'awakening'. Your Shaolin-Rainer

Thank you to everyone who supports Buddha Blog in their own way.Contents of the podcast:1-Suffering and pain2-Memories3-Turning Points4-The problem is the transience5-Insight Meditation6-Your appearance7-The laughter8-Transcendental MeditationSuffering and pain are not the same thing, for example, we can suffer without being in physical pain.Pain is a complex sensory sensation sent to the brain mainly by signals from the nerves. Suffering, on the other hand, refers to everything that burdens a person physically and mentally. These are primarily unfulfilled expectations or needs, loss and separation, constraints, old age, illness and death. Of course, one can also suffer from pain, such as chronic pain, but the word "suffering" is aimed more at the mental component, whereas pain has come to mean physical injury.According to Buddha, we suffer, the philosophy of the great teacher revolves around suffering as the source of our dissatisfaction, of our hardship with ourselves, but also with the environment. We begin to suffer because we realize that nothing is permanent, we will lose everything, change will be the only constant in life.Nevertheless, there are greed, hatred and delusion in us humans, which throw us completely off track, close us the true connections. What is the use of being greedy when we will lose everything again? What is the use of hating when all living beings will perish? What is the use of being blinded, when we clearly see old age coming, so we know what is coming.Did you enjoy the podcast?Thank you for listening to Buddha Blog.

Explain Nirvana to MeFive Simple Precepts for Chan (Zen) BuddhistsWe know about the suffering life, about the real causes of suffering.Buddha taught that life consists of suffering, at least until we have experienced "enlightenment".The main statements of Buddha are the "four noble truths" and the "noble eightfold path" of Buddha.But how can these statements be integrated into daily life?1st precept: I do not harm other beings"Thou shalt not kill" is well known to us as the fifth commandment from the Bible.

Compassion is a feelingAs often as the term "dharma" is used linguistically, its definition is unclear.According to Wikipedia, the word "Dharma" can include law, right and custom, as well as ethical and religious obligations and values, but also denote religion, ethics or morality in general, or concrete religious rituals, methods and actions.But with a simple definition one cannot do justice to the term "Dharma", because through the "Dharma" we reach "enlightenment", we can therefore (according to the teachings of Buddha) determine life, death and any change with the right Dharma. The body is mortal, but do we know about the causes and consequences of our human existence, so with the "right" Dharma do we decide more wisely, or more consciously, for example with more mindfulness?All day long we are busy, the work, the children, the car, the apartment, the hobbies, good food, the beloved TV evening, the sport, there is always enough to do.

I would be happy to welcome you as a supporter as well. Thank you to everyone who supports Buddha Blog in their own way.Contents of the podcast:01.) Do not live without yoga02.) Reader's letter 03.) I lead the life I want to lead04.) The middle way05.) Past, present and future06.) Pathological fear07.) Sometimes you can only save yourself08.) SaltI am often asked about the middle path. It is also so difficult to find it and to tread it, to hold oneself in the middle.The middle way is easy to find, it lies between the opposites. It is not affection and also not aversion, it is a sober attitude of mind. Whoever moves on this path sees things as they are, not as he/she wants them to be.The one who likes to follow the path of Buddha, he/she lets things happen, does not resist incidents and events, does not shirk from the many people who can play a role in life. But he/she is also not dependent on the emotions he/she might develop towards things, people and incidents, because in the middle lies the solution.At the edges of the path are the extremes, "sky-high-cheering", or "to-death-distressed", which quickly bring us "out of step", or even to fall.The middle way is harmonious, it feels good and right, immediately you feel the whole universe under your feet, your being is in harmony with the environment, mindfulness suddenly comes easy, hurting other living beings is impossible.Now one doesn't want anything, doesn't need "it" either, "one" is without fears and hardships, because "one" "knows" about the connections, the middle way simply does good. The fights in the thought palace come to an end, the attachments become weaker, the breathing can go into every corner of the body, because we are no longer attached to it either. Where the path leads us, who knows, who really wants to know the future, because deep inside, there we already know everything anyway, the past, the present and the future become one.The middle way brings peace, tranquility and clarity, those who live with the extremes cannot find their true personality, because it will remain hidden under shards and rubble. Those who believe that the "dance on the volcano" is the right way will not read my texts anyway, those who think about it are at least interested.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=F6R4ELD6X2H92)

Also, these may have been created a very long time ago, are not just created. We are entangled in many networks, some of which were created hundreds (or even thousands) of years ago. As an example, the Bible could be mentioned here, or other religious works that were created in long past lives, but still have power and influence on people today, in the "good" as well as in the "bad" sense.We are the product of time and the history of human development, the events of our ancestors are stored in us and our DNA, all knowledge finds its image in us, like with cobwebs we are connected with the past, whoever opens himself will experience true miracles, receive all information, see, feel and hear everything.Webs can catch things for us, but we can also get entangled in them, they bring us down. And we are all caught in a complicated web of imprinting, upbringing and experience, we may not see what is going on outside the nets, what real life (without rules) would be like.Only we ourselves get entangled in these nets, because they are not real, they are only objects in our thought palace, outside such weavings cannot exist, we humans are their host. If you decide (for yourself) that you no longer want to be a prisoner of these webs, then it will be so. It is a decision whether we want to put an end to it or not.Please also download my app "Buddha-Blog English" from the Apple and Android stores.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=F6R4ELD6X2H92)

As an example, the Bible could be mentioned here, or other religious works that were created in long past lives, but still have power and influence on people today, in the "good" as well as in the "bad" sense.We are the product of time and the history of human development, the events of our ancestors are stored in us and our DNA, all knowledge finds its image in us, like with cobwebs we are connected with the past, whoever opens himself will experience true miracles, receive all information, see, feel and hear everything.Webs can catch things for us, but we can also get entangled in them, they bring us down. And we are all caught in a complicated web of imprinting, upbringing and experience, we may not see what is going on outside the nets, what real life (without rules) would be like.Only we ourselves get entangled in these nets, because they are not real, they are only objects in our thought palace, outside such weavings cannot exist, we humans are their host. If you decide (for yourself) that you no longer want to be a prisoner of these webs, then it will be so. It is a decision whether we want to put an end to it or not.Please also download my app "Buddha-Blog English" from the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/de/app/buddha-blog-english/id1561579174" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apple</a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodbarber.buddhablog&amp;gl=DE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Android</a> stores.<a href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=F6R4ELD6X2H92" rel="payment nofollow" target="_blank">Support the show</a> (<a href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=F6R4ELD6X2H92" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=F6R4ELD6X2H92</a>)

12-Buddha Blog English Podcast Episode 12

Buddha Blog English Podcast Episode 11Buddhism in everyday life - Mindfulness in daily life.Please also download my app "Buddha-Blog English" from the Apple and Android stores.This podcast is largely funded by its listeners. I would be happy to welcome you as a supporter as well. Thank you to everyone who supports Buddha Blog in their own way.Contents of the podcast:01.) Ananda02.) Anxiety as a disease03.) Dying04.) Memories05.) The water glass06.) Loneliness07.) The sky08.) Free of chargeEspecially in early Buddhist teaching discourses, meditation through breathing (and concentration on it) is emphasized. Probably the most widespread form of meditation today is breath meditation after sitting exercises.In the so-called "Ananda Sutra", Ananda (an eminent disciple of the great teacher) asks the Buddha for instruction on the subject of breathing. The sutra has been worked on over the centuries, translated back and forth into all languages. It is the contemplation of breath and the related causes of awakening that are discussed, which has generated controversial approaches.Buddha taught his model disciple Ananda to build up, with and through breathing, a contemplation of the body, the sensations, the mind, and the very philosophy of the enlightened one. For the less practiced devotee, a program was developed to achieve concentration on the breath. The increased spectrum of mindfulness brings practitioners ever closer to awakening.This is how I have heard most Buddhist teaching discourses begin. Ananda asked his master how to go about the intense practice.Buddha answered him that the mindfulness of inhalation and exhalation is to be practiced. Through mindfulness, awakening occurs, followed by wisdom and liberation.When breathing out, the seeker practices mindfulness of passing away; when breathing in, he practices mindfulness of arising. Whether the breathing is long or short, the important thing is to experience the bodily formation, the great teacher explained, while practicing the calming of the bodily limitations.Then comes the moment when the student experiences real joy and happiness while practicing the breathing and sensations, experiencing and calming the mental formations. Did you enjoy the podcast?Thank you for listening to Buddha Blog.
