Nani Ma is from the United Kingdom and sought spiritual enlightenment at a very young age. One day, she realized that serving the multitude and helping the needy is also an aspect of spiritual practice. So, she started taking care of the terminally ill cancer patients in the hospital, guiding the people who are suffering from pain and death to embark on a new journey. Together with Dr. A. K. Dewan, she established the Ganga Prem Hospice. Ganga Prem Hospice is a spiritually-orientated, non-profit hospice for terminally ill cancer patients. The Hospice has been constructed at the foot of the Himalayas on the bank of the river Ganga.

“When we watch our breath, it slows down. The breath and the mind are connected. Either the breath slows down and the mind slows down, or the mind catches hold of one thing, which is the name, and the name has its power by itself. The name has its own power.” – Nani Ma

“Being a Buddhist or practicing these Buddhist teachings is to live lovingly and joyfully without getting so caught or identified with the suffering self.

This time on the BHNN Guest Podcast, Gil Fronsdal teaches on:Meeting the dharma in ourselves through direct experiencesGoing into the world with a phenomenal capacity for non-harmingLooking at what really motivates and drives usThe story of the Kalama SuttaRecognizing what brings welfare vs. what brings harmBreath as a form of assurance and how our easeful, relaxed breath can be our teacherHindrances and what keeps us removed from ourselvesComing home to our selves, our bodies, our sensationsAllowing the flow of experience to move through usReleasing all of the things we hold ontoAbout Gil Fronsdal:

Gil Fronsdal is the co-teacher for the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, California; he has been teaching since 1990. He has practiced Zen and Vipassana in the U.S. and Asia since 1975. He was a Theravada monk in Burma in 1985, and in 1989 began training with Jack Kornfield to be a Vipassana teacher. Gil teaches at Spirit Rock Meditation Center where he is part of its Teachers Council. Gil was ordained as a Soto Zen priest at the San Francisco Zen Center in 1982, and in 1995 received Dharma Transmission from Mel Weitsman, the abbot of the Berkeley Zen Center. He currently serves on the SF Zen Center Elders’ Council. In 2011 he founded IMC’s Insight Retreat Center. Gil has an undergraduate degree in agriculture from U.C. Davis where he was active in promoting the field of sustainable farming. In 1998 he received a PhD in Religious Studies from Stanford University studying the earliest developments of the bodhisattva ideal. He is the author of The Issue at Hand, essays on mindfulness practice; A Monastery Within; a book on the five hindrances called Unhindered; and the translator of The Dhammapada, published by Shambhala Publications. You may listen to Gil’s talks on Audio Dharma.

“It is so simple and so basically human, the capacity to recognize that we’re suffering or that we’re happy. In relationship to grand religious philosophies and ideas, it can seem maybe inconsequential to base one’s religious life on being able to recognize where is harm and where is welfare. But that relates at the heart to what the Buddha was pointing at. It points to something that we are able to experience and see and know for ourselves directly.” – Gil Fronsdal

In this episode, JoAnna Hardy offers a talk on:How and why we keep returning to our sufferingDominant paradigms and what is out of our controlThe way that the Buddhist experience introduces us to ultimate realityRelative reality and what is happening on the groundHow we are all invited to be free via the Four Noble TruthsThe ways we struggle with trying to control other peopleAnatta, identity, and the way we hold onto our self-hoodHow we show up in the world through our speech, actions, and thoughtsThe Eightfold Path as the things we can controlPaying attention to who we spend our time withAbout JoAnna Hardy: 

JoAnna Hardy is an insight meditation (Vipassanā) practitioner and teacher; she is on faculty at the University of Southern California, a meditation trainer at Apple Fitness+, a founding member of the Meditation Coalition, a teacher’s council member at Spirit Rock Meditation Center, a visiting retreat teacher at Insight Meditation Society, and a collaborator on many online meditation Apps and programs. Her greatest passion is to teach meditation in communities that are dedicated to seeing the truth of how racism, gender inequality and oppression go hand in hand with the compassionate action teachings in Buddhism and related perspectives to social and racial justice. 

“I’ve really worked on this practice of looking at a person; I’m not only looking at them. I’m looking at probably thousands of people who stand behind them, who have created them, who have created their way of thinking, their way of being. Every teacher, every friend, every person they come into contact with creates this being that is in front of us.” – JoAnna Hardy

This time on the BHNN Guest Podcast, Jamie and Jackie explore:The difference between Yin and YangSurrendering to the flow of YinThe benefits of yin parentingListening receptively in love makingDancing as an example of YinCuriosity as a quality of YinThe power of Yin in allaying our overworking imaginationsOur culture’s avoidance of negative emotionsThe emotional plumbing system of the bodyForging paths through the forest of worry and anxietyEmbodying peace for the worldA guided mindfulness meditation from JamiePracticing loving awareness and self-loveAbout Jamie Catto:

Jamie’s mission is to make self-reflection hip enough to save us from ourselves. Jamie Catto is the director of the 2019 film Becoming Nobody, the quintessential portal to Ram Dass’ life and teachings (BecomingNobody.com). He is an author and musician running transformational workshops and events to reclaim all the treasure we edited away into the shadows and facilitate everyone daring to be more real, more fallible, more tender, more intimate. His mission is to create a world full of ‘walking permission slips’ where we all lighten up and enjoy the unpredictable human path together with humor, playfulness, and a healthy dose of irreverence. Jamie’s workshops and 1-1s provide a refreshing approach to inner work with the right dose of playfulness and depth. Keep up with Jamie on his website or on Instagram.

“So much of the treasure, creativity, lovemaking, parenting, laughing, dancing, the flow of the life is to be experienced when we allow ourselves to be moved and practice the qualities of Yin, which are curiosity, surrender, welcomeness, listening, spaciousness, all of those kinds of things where we let life live us and we become in the flow of the greater river of life.” – Jamie Catto

The Joy of Living: Don't Miss the Bliss

Suffering as Compassion, Humility as Medicine: How to Overcome Arrogance The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast Episode 111 from Dodrupchen Jigme Tenpe Nyima, "Dropping the Attitude of Being Entirely Unwilling to Suffer Think about all the depression, anxiety and irritation we put ourselves through by always seeing suffering as unfavourable, something to be avoided at all costs. Now, think about two things: how useless this is, and how much trouble it causes. Go on reflecting on this repeatedly, until you are absolutely convinced. Then say to yourself: “From now on, whatever I have to suffer, I will never become anxious or irritated.” Go over this again and again in your mind, and summon all your courage and determination. 2 Cultivating the Attitude of Being Joyful when Suffering Arises Seeing suffering as an ally to help us on the path, we must learn to develop a sense of joy when it arises. Yet whenever suffering strikes, unless we have some kind of spiritual practice to bring to it, one which matches the capacity of our mind, no matter how many times we might say to ourselves: ‘Well, as long as I’ve got roughly the right method, I’ll be able to use suffering and obtain such and such a benefit’, it’s highly unlikely that we’ll succeed. We’ll be as far from our goal, the saying goes, as the earth is from the sky. Therefore, use suffering as the basis for the following practices: c. Using Suffering to Overcome Arrogance As I explained before, [as long as we are in samsara] we are never independent or truly free or in control of our lives. On the contrary, we are always dependent on and at the mercy of suffering. So we must eliminate ‘the enemy that destroys anything that is wholesome and good’, which is arrogance and pride; and we must do away with the evil attitude of belittling others and considering them as inferior.

Humility as Medicine: How to Overcome Arrogance

It's well understood in the recovery community that an attitude of gratitude isa potent antidote to much of what ails us addicts in recovery. We all know how to make our gratitude lists. But how do Buddhists in Recovery use the Dharma (teachings) to further explore the medicine of true appreciation?

Appreciating the Now: How to Train Our Minds to Feel Better

The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast Episode 109 We're often told that what happens may be out of our control, but how we respond is up to us. That's easy for regulated people to say.  For those who suffer with CPTSD and other problems due to ACEs have more work to do to get to the level where we can "pause when agitated,"  and not send that text or make that post! The Dharma offers us trainings that help us be fit for maximum service. Let's talk about it.   

Genghis Khan or Thich Nhat Hanh - How Do We Respond in Recovery?

What is the nature of our relationship to psychedelics? As people in recovery, we've probably abused them at one time or another. Some people have taken mass overdoses and lost total control. So why would anyone in recovery consider the use, medicinal or otherwise, of something that seems pretty risky?  It's OK. You can and it'll be alright.  Let's talk about it on today's show, Episode 108.  St. Theresa of Avila "The time has come to love more and think less. Sit in a deep quiet in which love is translating you into God." Meditation: what we're powerless to attain is attaining us in our inability to attain it inhale breathing in God, into the unresolved questions. Exhale give yourself in love. from James Finley, "Mystical Sobriety." The number 108 has a variety of significances across different fields:   Mathematics:  It's an abundant and a semiperfect number.

In Tibetan Buddhism, malas or rosaries are usually 108 beads. Zen priests wear juzu, a ring of prayer beads, consisting of 108 beads. The Lankavatara Sutra has sections where 108 questions are asked and 108 statements of negation are listed.    Martial Arts:  Many East Asian martial arts, due to their ties to Buddhism, consider 108 an important symbolic number. According to Marma Adi and Ayurveda, there are 108 pressure points in the body. The ultimate Gōjū-ryū kata, Suparinpei, translates to 108. The Yang Taijiquan long form and Wing Chun wooden dummy form taught by Ip Man have 108 moves.

 Ksantikara  revisits Sangharakshita's classic 1970 lecture. In this energetic and playful talk Ksantikara adds his own reflections to Sangharakshita's original list of what a Guru is not (not the head of a religious group, not a teacher, not a father/mother substitute, not a problem solver) and explores the important of having people in our life to look up to and be in contact with. Ksantikara implores us to find a situation of Kalayana Mitrata (beautiful friendship) and to stay receptive to those more evolved than us.

Sangharakshita's in fine humour - and it's great to hear him read and quote from the bible! Is that a twinkle in his voice?    Talk given at Triratna [FWBO] Day celebrations in 2001.  *** Subscribe to our Free Buddhist Audio podcast:   On Apple Podcasts | On Spotify |  On Google Podcasts A full, curated, quality Dharma talk, every week. 3,000,000 downloads and counting!Subscribe to our Dharmabytes podcast:   On Apple Podcasts | On Spotify |  On Google Podcasts Bite-sized inspiration three times every week.

We are rarely completely engaged in the present moment, as our awareness becomes muddled by the constantly-deviating thought flow. Our perception is a combination of the gathered awareness and our mind’s subjective interpretation of the information. The present can only be wholly acknowledged when we have the complete vision of both ourselves and the world around us. Visit us at ZenEnergyZen.org

The passing of my beloved grandmother made it more clear for me that all worldly possessions are non-essential and irrelevant.

ธรรมะเพื่อการเจริญสติ รู้กาย รู้ใจ ตามความเป็นจริง ด้วยจิตที่ตั้งมั่นและเป็นกลางโดยพระปราโมทย์ ปาโมชฺโช วัดสวนสันติธรรม A collection of the Lord Buddha's teachings conveyed by the venerable Luangpor Pramote Pamojjo, a master teacher of mindfulness for the modern world and Vipassana meditation.

[คลิปสั้น] รู้ว่าอะไรควรแก่ตัวเอง หลวงปู่ปราโมทย์ ปาโมชฺโช 19 พ.ย. 66 (661119)

ไม่ว่าจะทำกรรมฐานอะไร สิ่งสำคัญที่สุดคือความรู้สึกตัว เพราะพระพุทธเจ้าบอกว่าความรู้สึกตัว เป็นจุดตั้งต้นของการปฏิบัติ ที่จะล้างอาสวกิเลสทั้งหลายได้ ถ้าปราศจากความรู้สึกตัว โอกาสยากมากที่จะสู้กิเลสได้ ก็หลงทั้งวัน มันก็กลายเป็นเครื่องมือของกิเลสทั้งวัน หลงตลอดเวลา โมหะเอาไปกินเอาไปครอบงำไว้ทั้งวัน ไม่เคยรู้สึกตัว พระพุทธเจ้าถึงบอกว่าท่านไม่เห็นธรรมะใดสำคัญเท่ากับความรู้สึกตัว ธรรมะที่เป็นไปเพื่อจะลดละกิเลส เพื่อจะพ้นจากอาสวะทั้งหลาย เพราะฉะนั้นความรู้สึกตัวเป็นสิ่งสำคัญที่สุด เพราะฉะนั้นเราทำกรรมฐานสักอย่างหนึ่ง ทำไปด้วยความรู้สึกตัว ถ้าอานาปานสติหายใจออก รู้สึกตัว หายใจเข้า รู้สึกตัว ถ้าดูอิริยาบท 4 ยืน รู้สึกตัว นั่ง รู้สึกตัว เดิน รู้สึกตัว นอน รู้สึกตัว ทำสัมปชัญญบรรพ เคลื่อนไหว รู้สึก หยุดนิ่ง รู้สึก เน้นตรงที่รู้สึก แล้วการที่เรารู้สึกอยู่ในอารมณ์อันเดียวอย่างต่อเนื่อง สิ่งที่เกิดขึ้น นอกจากความรู้สึกตัวแล้ว สิ่งที่เกิดขึ้นคือความสงบ คือสมาธิ เพราะฉะนั้นถ้าหากเราทำกรรมฐานโดยเน้นที่ความรู้สึกตัว เราจะได้สมาธิชนิดที่ตั้งมั่น เป็นผู้รู้ ผู้ตื่น ผู้เบิกบาน หลวงปู่ปราโมทย์ ปาโมชฺโช วัดสวนสันติธรรม 7 เมษายน 2567

มันไม่มีอะไรที่แน่นอนสักอย่างเดียวเลย เพราะฉะนั้นความดีใดๆ ก็ตาม จะเป็นทาน เป็นศีล เป็นภาวนา ความดีใดๆ ก็ตาม มีโอกาสทำให้รีบทำ อย่าเอาไว้ก่อนเอาไว้ก่อนเอาไว้ก่อน แล้วไม่ได้ทำ แล้วเราจะเสียใจทีหลัง ไม่ว่าชีวิตจะดีหรือจะเลว สุดท้ายเราก็อยู่ในโลกนี้ชั่วคราวเท่านั้นล่ะ จากไปโดยมีสมบัติติดตัวไปหรือว่าไม่มี จะต้องรอรับส่วนบุญของคนอื่น เราทำเอาเองได้ทั้งนั้น มางานศพทั้งที คนตายเขาได้แสดงธรรมะให้เราดู ว่าเกิดแล้วตายแน่นอน พวกเรายังไม่ทันจะตาย เรามาฟังธรรมะเพื่อเตรียมตัวตายอย่างมีศักดิ์ศรี เตรียมตัวตายอย่างคนมีปัญญา แบบลูกศิษย์มีครู ไม่ใช่ตายแบบอนาถา ตายแล้วก็ต้องมาวิ่งตะกาย ขอให้คนแผ่ส่วนบุญให้ หวังพึ่งอะไรอย่างนั้น พวกผีพวกเปรต อายุมันยืนกว่าคน สมมุติว่าเราไปเป็นเปรต ลูกหลานเราทำบุญให้เรา เหลนเราตายแล้ว เรายังไม่ตายเลย ไม่มีใครทำบุญให้แล้ว ต่อไปก็เป็นผีไร้ญาติจนได้ พูดง่ายๆ อายุยืนกว่ามนุษย์ เพราะฉะนั้นทำไว้ด้วยตัวเองปลอดภัยที่สุด หลวงปู่ปราโมทย์ ปาโมชฺโช สำนักสงฆ์โสธรธรรมนิมิต 6 เมษายน 2567
