Buddha Blog English Podcast Episode 25
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 actions
Please also download my app "Buddha-Blog English" from the Apple and Android stores.

1-The end of the evil conditions
2-What do I want from life?
3-Live more consciously
4-Stories from China
5-Self-knowledge
6-Mental suffering
7-Buddha explains meditation
8-Game of life
The 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".
