Buddha Blog English Podcast Episode 29

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

Those who have gotten out of the habit of judging things, people and events do not necessarily have to read on.

All others, still in the hamster wheel, poor souls, they should go deeper here. Buddha admonished his followers several times that nothing is as it appears to us, that everything comes anyway as it must come, that we can not even overlook how things are really connected.

I, for my part, have gotten out of the habit of making judgments, sometimes old tendencies come up, but in general I don't do it anymore.

No matter which event hits me, no matter how it affects me, I cannot foresee the effects, neither in the short term, nor in the medium term or in the long term. For that I lack the objectivity, the knowledge, the tools. My body can sort out such sensitivities much better than my intellect, but very few people listen to their body, such hunches are suspicious to them.

Many events, which I thought to be "bad" in the first moment, turned out to be "good" afterwards (the knowing reader sees that there is no "good" and no "bad", nor can there be). For instance, when I got so sick that I quit smoking. Of my own will I might not have been able to do it, but I had to cough so much, when I saw just one cigarette it shook me. First I was sick, very sick, a severe cold for almost a month, but this had a "positive" effect on my health, I stopped smoking because of it.
