Satsang with Swaha - Audio

Buddhist monk Bodhidharma spoke about what makes one either a mortal or a buddha, and Vasant Swaha spelled it out, showing there are also those in between. He suggested a few questions one should ask themself, so they can start getting wiser and return to their buddha-nature. "Only then will you see things from the Tathagata’s perspective."

Vasant Swaha speaks the words of Bodhidharma and talks about the true buddha nature because, he says, "like [Bodhidharma] talked to his disciples, I have to talk to my disciples also." There is only one reason for an Enlightened Master to speak, and by doing so, Swaha performs "the art".

Relax. Make sure you are in a comfortable posture. Park your body, stop your mind. Then dive deep focusing on your breath and feel the subtle energy flowing within. Feel yourself. This is the teaching of the Masters: Come back to yourself.
It takes more than reciting the scriptures and burning incense to get to the bottom of life and death and understand your true nature. Find your Master, you will find yourself. Life has happened, death will come, so take the teachings to heart and escape the wheel.

Follow Swaha in this talk, this meditation, in which, drawing from monk Good Star's experience, he brings you closer to your heart and your wisdom, showing the path to no-time, to the truth. Live and enjoy your buddha-nature and you will be courageous, dance free and burdenless. Do not suffer in vain.

In the 5th century, Bodhidharma, a self-realized buddhist, walked from India to China. Initiated by an enlightened woman, the former Indian prince left on a three-year journey across the Himalayas to deliver Buddha's teachings.

Swaha introduces his disciples and friends to the Zen tradition, telling the story of this wild man, known as "The Barbarian," who in China brought life to the ancient scriptures, shook up Emperor Wu with lessons, and sat in a cave for nine years, waiting for a true disciple to come. Among many contributions, Bodhidharma gifted the world with martial arts, which he developed in the Shaolin Temple by combining animal movements and the quietness of meditation.

To repent is to be in contact with oneself, understand and become aware of one's own actions. In this Christmas special episode, Vasant Swaha remembers Master Jesus’s words on repentance, such a noble act, and what happens when one cries, “enough is enough!”, letting go of the past, so that they never sin again. But what is sin? And, mainly, what does it mean to sin and to choose not to sin? Swaha sheds light on those issues, while addressing a letter in which a disciple expresses her unwillingness to carry the weight of not being able to forgive, and of forgiveness becoming a matter of life and death.

Arrepender-se é entrar em contato consigo mesmo, compreender e tomar consciência das próprias ações. Neste episódio especial de Natal, Vasant Swaha lembra as palavras do Mestre Jesus sobre este ato tão nobre, o arrependimento, e o que acontece com a pessoa que clama, “chega!”, e se solta do passado, para então não pecar mais. Mas o que é o pecado, afinal? E, sobretudo, o que significa pecar e escolher não pecar? Swaha elucida essas questões, abordando a carta na qual uma discípula expressa não querer carregar o peso de não saber perdoar e o fato de o perdão ter se tornado uma questão de vida ou morte.

"Prepare for the happiness that will come, prepare for the silence that will come, prepare for the Love that will come, that is waiting to be uncovered, to come forth."

“Everybody is a miniature universe, and you have a center. Everything moves from that, from that silent spot”.
In this Satsang, Swaha addresses the center of the body, the center of gravity, responding to a disciple who wants to know how to integrate this physical center and go deeper into the vertical dimension, beyond the physical. Swaha goes on to explain that we are born and walk through life on the linear dimension of time, the horizontal dimension. But as humans, we have potential to rise in the dimension of consciousness, which is mystical and eternal. It is that zone of total flow. And that is the essence of meditation.

“Todo mundo é um universo em miniatura, e você tem um centro. Tudo se move a partir disso, a partir desse ponto silencioso”.
Neste Satsang, Swaha aborda o centro do corpo, o centro de gravidade, ao falar a um discípulo sobre como integrar esse centro físico e ir mais fundo na dimensão vertical, além do físico. Swaha continua explicando que nascemos e percorremos a vida na dimensão linear do tempo, a dimensão horizontal. Mas por sermos humanos, temos potencial para ascender na dimensão da consciência, que é mística e eterna, a zona de fluxo total. É essa a essência da meditação.

“Better than a hundred years of mischief, is one day spent in contemplation”.
Swaha comments on Buddha´s Dhammapada, one of the most widely known Buddhist scriptures worldwide. As he reads and makes the words of the Buddha clear to our modern understanding, Swaha points out that first the seeker needs a spiritual path as a way to come back to the moment. However, the moment comes when even the path is transcended, and one becomes established in the true space of the being.

“Melhor do que viver cem anos em ofensa é um dia vivido em contemplação”.
Swaha comenta o Dhammapada de Buda, uma das escrituras budistas mais conhecidas em todo o mundo. Ao ler e elucidar as palavras de Buda conforme nossa compreensão moderna, Swaha destaca que primeiro o buscador precisa de um caminho espiritual como forma de retornar para o momento.
