  Jeanne Corrigal: Dharma talk: Finding Freedom in the Bumpy Ride 03.10.2026 1Std. 2Min.

  (Saskatoon Insight Meditation Community) Drawing on the four foundations of mindfulness and the Four Noble Truths, we explore the difference between the inevitable difficulties of human experience and the suffering that arises through grasping and resistance. By noticing feeling tone, reactivity, and the embodied qualities of tightness and ease, we can begin to recognize moments of release and cultivate a wiser relationship with experience. Readings from The Life and Letters of Tofu Roshi by Susan Moon; Remembering How I Got Here in the First Place by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer; The Second Music by Annie Lighthart.

  Tim Geil: Exploring Anatta: Non-Self 23.09.2026 46Min.

  (Cambridge Insight Meditation Center) Anatta, or non-self, is a core teaching of the Buddha, and yet can be confusing and bewildering. Sometimes the sense of self loves trying to get rid of itself, all the while maintaining itself on subtle levels. Yet, anatta is our true nature, and we release and relax into non-separation and unity. Qualities of compassion and the heart often support this understanding more than our intellect. This talk will explore anatta from a practical and experiential perspective.

  Renate Seifarth: Ursachen von dukkha 22.09.2026 45Min.

  (Buddha-Haus) Die Ursachen von Leiden, dukkha, sind manigfach. Zum einen werden Formen des Verlangens und des Ablehnens, die Triebe, die Ausflüsse - asavas - genannt. Zum anderen die Unwissenheit, die Täuschung über das Wesen aller Personen und Erscheinungen. Unsere falschen Annahmen und unser greifendes Verhalten führt zu Verstrickung und Leid. Unsere Aufgabe besteht darin, die Täuschung zu durchschauen und unsere Triebe lenken zu können oder loslassen zu können.

  (Buddha-Haus) Dukkha ist Teil der Welt. Es braucht eine Antwort darauf. Weisheit bringt uns Gelassenheit, Liebe - metta - und Mitgefühl - karuna - spenden Trost.
