    Suchness: Thoughts from the Room | Soheit: Gedanken aus dem Raum

    „Das kannst du nicht“: Ein Satz aus der Vergangenheit kann als Gedanke wieder auftauchen. Im dritten Teil der Urknall-Meditation steht das Wahrnehmen solcher geistigen Vorgänge im Mittelpunkt. Das, was Atem, Körper und Erinnerungen wahrnimmt, erhält hier den Namen „Soheit“. Von mindestens einer Minute bewusster, tiefer Bauchatmung führt die beschriebene Praxis zum Wahrnehmen des Atems, des Körpers und schließlich der auftauchenden Gedanken. Eine Vorstellung kommt hinzu: Begrenzende Worte lassen sich als geistige Elemente betrachten, die im Raum umherschwirren. Nach der hier vertretenen Auffassung kann sich dadurch die Identifikation mit ihnen zunehmend lösen; die Praxis bleibt eine Empfehlung, kein Gebot. “You can’t do that”: a sentence from the past may return as a thought. Part 3 of The Big Bang Meditation centres on perceiving such mental events. What perceives the breath, the body and memories is given the name “suchness”. Beginning with at least one minute of conscious, deep abdominal breathing, the practice described moves towards perceiving the breath, the body and, finally, the thoughts that arise. Another image enters: limiting words can be regarded as mental elements drifting through the room. In the speaker’s account, this can increasingly loosen identification with them; the practice remains a recommendation, not a command. P.S.: Let’s keep this in mind: The “others” are actually ourselves, just in a different “mind-body” guise.

    The I-Particle: Your Chance at the Nobel Prize in Physics! / Das Ich-Teilchen: Deine Chance auf den Physiknobelpreis!

    (For German speakers:) Bitte verwende für die vollständige deutsche Version dieser Beschreibung DeepL oder Google Translate. There's a free online event every Friday covering a different topic. Zenyorim would love for you to join us! The online intensive program, "From the Meditation Cushion to Everyday Life: Finding Inner Peace in the Midst of Daily Life," is coming soon. Space is limited. The audio is in German; the English description is below. A Nobel Prize in Physics for finding the I-particle? The search begins with something we name dozens of times a day ... yet cannot locate: the “I.” A table, the body in a mirror and the question of where one thing begins and ends lead toward understanding ourselves as part of the universe. The speaker says he considers this already scientifically established, while allowing everyone a different opinion. The inquiry then becomes practical: meeting others without judgment, letting thoughts be perceived rather than driven away, and becoming familiar with the natural state of body and mind through meditation without fixation. P.S.: Let’s keep this in mind: The “others” are actually ourselves—just in a different “mind-body” guise.

    Mindfulness: Perceiving Instead of Reacting Automatically / Urwachheit: Wahrnehmen statt automatisch reagieren

    (For German speakers:) Bitte verwende für die vollständige deutsche Version dieser Beschreibung DeepL oder Google Translate. There's a free online event every Friday covering a different topic. Zenyorim would love for you to join us! The online intensive program, "From the Meditation Cushion to Everyday Life: Finding Inner Peace in the Midst of Daily Life," is coming soon. Space is limited. The audio is in German; the English description is below. One cyclist brushes against another ... and a thought becomes anger, then an insult. What changes when the mind simply perceives? Urwachheit, or primal wakefulness, is introduced as our natural state, already present rather than something to acquire. The speaker describes greatly reduced automatic reactions, not their complete disappearance, alongside non-grasping. The practice is concrete: at least three sessions of at least three minutes each day, closing the eyes and observing abdominal breathing. A late-night conversation with Rinpoche brings a vivid image of thought: a spray of perfume spreading into the surrounding space. P.S.: Let’s keep this in mind: The “others” are actually ourselves—just in a different “mind-body” guise.

    The Path to Inner Peace / Der Weg zu innerem Frieden

    (For German speakers:) Bitte verwende für die vollständige deutsche Version dieser Beschreibung DeepL oder Google Translate. There's a free online event every Friday covering a different topic. Zenyorim would love for you to join us! The online intensive program, "From the Meditation Cushion to Everyday Life: Finding Inner Peace in the Midst of Daily Life," is coming soon. Space is limited. The audio is in German; the English description is below. Peace while meditating ... but what happens when we open our eyes and return to the day? The first principle begins with the calm experienced through observing the breath: become familiar with it, explore its qualities and extend it into everyday activities. The speaker recounts Rinpoche’s understanding of suffering as the sum of our dissatisfactions and of meditative peace as the state awakened people sustain throughout daily life. Conscious abdominal breathing provides the starting point; brushing the teeth, drinking coffee and speaking with colleagues become occasions to explore that familiarity beyond formal meditation. P.S.: Let’s keep this in mind: The “others” are actually ourselves—just in a different “mind-body” guise.

    Compassion and Presence: Our Influence on Others / Mitgefühl und Präsenz: Unser Einfluss auf andere

    (For German speakers:) Bitte verwende für die vollständige deutsche Version dieser Beschreibung DeepL oder Google Translate. Twenty years in prison... how could happiness be possible at the moment of hearing that verdict? A remembered conversation with a teacher takes the question to a hospital bedside: terminal cancer, unbearable pain, no visitors. In the teacher’s answer, attention turns toward the doctor, compassion and the joy of giving something back. An imagined cloud with the word “you” then opens an exploration of the thoughts that separate us. The speaker connects experiencing unity with greater influence on others and asks what meditation should bring to the hours when we are not meditating. The audio is in English. P.S.: Let’s keep this in mind: The “others” are actually ourselves—just in a different “mind-body” guise.

    Peace in Prison: Recognizing Our Continual Renewal / Frieden im Gefängnis: Unsere ständige Erneuerung erkennen

    (For German speakers:) Bitte verwende für die vollständige deutsche Version dieser Beschreibung DeepL oder Google Translate. Twenty years in prison, and only three weeks have passed. How could happiness be possible here? Water, ice and steam introduce a reflection on continual change: are we still the person who received the sentence? The speaker connects recognizing renewal with mindfulness, compassion, gratitude and using the time for self-realization, perhaps by writing at least one book. He also expresses his conviction that profound inner transformation leads to earlier release, grounding it in his understanding of cause and effect, not scientific proof. Five years rather than twenty is his example, not a promised timetable. The central point: newness need not be forced into existence; it is already present. The audio is in English. P.S.: Let’s keep this in mind: The “others” are actually ourselves—just in a different “mind-body” guise.

    Perceiving Our Own Essence: The Big Bang Meditation / Wahrnehmung der eigenen Essenz: Die Urknall-Meditation

    Was nimmt den Atem wahr, den Körper, einen Gedanken? Die Urknall-Meditation beginnt mit dieser Frage und führt zur Vorstellung, dass alles neu ist, auch wir selbst. Ein beschriebenes und wieder ausradiertes Blatt Papier veranschaulicht den Wandel und das, was als Erinnerung bleibt. Schließlich kommt die Vorstellung hinzu, morgen in einem anderen Körper und unter anderen Bedingungen zu leben. Der Sprecher verbindet sie mit der Ausrichtung auf heute und dem Loslassen der Erwartungen an die Ergebnisse unserer Ziele. The audio is in German; the English description is below. What perceives the breath, the body, a thought? The Big Bang Meditation begins with this question and turns toward imagining that everything is new, including ourselves. Writing on a sheet of paper and erasing it illustrates change and what remains as a memory. The final step imagines living in another body tomorrow, under different conditions. The speaker connects this image with focusing on today and letting go of expectations about the results of our goals. P.S.: Let’s keep this in mind: The “others” are actually ourselves—just in a different “mind-body” guise.

    The Big Bang Meditation / Die Urknall-Meditation

    Stell dir vor, der Urknall sei kurz vor deinem Aufwachen geschehen: Alles ist neu, auch du selbst und deine Mitmenschen! Die Urknall-Meditation verbindet diese Vorstellung mit der Frage, was den Körper, den Atem und die Gedanken wahrnimmt. Der Sprecher erzählt, wie Gespräche mit Rinpoche und sein eigenes inneres Beschweren zur Entstehung der Praxis führten. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Lebensfreude, Selbstzweifel und Erinnerungen: Sie müssen nicht beseitigt werden; es geht darum, sie als Gedanken wahrzunehmen, statt sich mit ihnen zu identifizieren. The audio is in German; the English description is below. Imagine that the Big Bang happened just before you woke up: everything is new, including you and the people around you! The Big Bang Meditation connects this image with asking what perceives the body, the breath and thoughts. The speaker recalls how conversations with Rinpoche and his own inward complaints led to the practice. Joy in life, self-doubt and memories are central to the reflection: memories need not be eliminated; the emphasis is on perceiving them as thoughts rather than identifying with them. P.S.: Let’s keep this in mind: The “others” are actually ourselves—just in a different “mind-body” guise.
