Ajahn Sucitto: A steady plane in a see-saw world

10/6/2025

(Cittaviveka) Within the world of praise and blame gain and loss, one’s balance grows. This plane of accomplishment neither binds to, nor rejects social and personal systems and customs, but uses them with kindness and integrity. As the heart sustains this, layers of one’s unconscious grasping are revealed and released.

Ajahn Sucitto: Goodwill is food for the heart

10/5/2025

(Cittaviveka) When handled contemplatively, the energy of goodwill feeds, repairs and strengthens the heart. It can govern our speech and convert our mental attitudes from those of the competitive world. It can also be taken in to clear the residues that these worldly habits have established; anxiety, performance drive and self-criticism.

Renate Seifarth: Praxis freudvoll im Leben fortsetzen

10/4/2025

(Waldhaus am Laacher See) Nach dem Retreat gilt es die Praxis fortzusetzen. Das besteht im wesentlichen darin, "Böses" zu unterlassen, "Gutes" zu tun und Herz und Geist von Gier, Hass und Unwissenheit zu läutern. Dies wollen wir freudvoll tun. Dazu können wir das Glück kontemplieren einen Weg zum inneren Frieden begegnet zu sein, ihn als etwas Wertvolles erkannt zu haben und uns auf den Weg gemacht haben. Unterstützen tun uns weiter Gleichgesinnte auf dem Weg. Sich mit ihnen anfreunden, hilft ungemein, wobei wir nicht zu viel von ihnen erwarten sollten.
