3 Minutos Mindfulness - 3MM

From Centro Budista de Valencia on Wed, 10 Aug, 2011 - 01:00
La meditación 3 Minutos mindfulenss (3MM)es una manera de poner una pausa a nuestras actividades. Durante esta pausa no hacemos nada y simplemente quedamos quietos y tranquilos por tres minutos. Puedes sentarte tranquilamente en una postura cómoda, o si lo prefieres, puedes estar de pie, tumbado o adoptar otra postura de tu elección. Esta meditación breve es una muy buena manera de ayudarte a tomar más conciencia de lo que estás haciendo y cómo te sientes. Puedes intercalarla dentro de tus actividades a lo largo del día a intervalos regulares.

Si te mantienes consciente de esta forma de tu respiración, así como cualquier sensación, sentimiento y pensamiento durante al menos 3 minutos, probablemente notarás que te vuelves más centrado.Te sentirás más capacitado para retomar la actividad que estabas llevando a cabo antes, desde una perspectiva renovada de mayor calma, conexión e integración.

Uuna manera útil de interrumpir cualquier tendencia de operar desde el 'piloto automático', y es posible que te ayude a retomar la iniciativa en cuanto al enfoque que les das a tus actividades a lo largo del día.

El Sueno Del Bodhisattva

From Centro Budista de Valencia on Wed, 10 Aug, 2011 - 00:00
Esta es la segunda charla de la serie de 3 charlas sobre aspectos del Sutra de la Luz Dorada. Esta basada en los comentarios del sutra realizado Sangharákshita y se centra en el comienzo del sutra, vemos como el Bodhisatva Ruchiraketu tiene un sueño en el que la luz dorada se manifiesta transformando su conciencia y llevandolo a una confesión (papa dessana) que lo purifica espontaneamente. Esta parte que es la médula del sutra, nos habla de la transformación personal que es necesaria para transformar el mundo.

Buddhism and Peace

From Manchester Buddhist Centre on Mon, 8 Aug, 2011 - 00:00
What is peace? And what does peace mean for Buddhists? Is it just the absence of war and conflict; guns and screaming?

Or is it also the deep silence that arises when the mind and heart are in harmony - a positive state of mind that can be cultivated both personally and collectively, where good and evil don't exist as concepts?

A talk given by Parami at Manchester Buddhist Centre on 30th July 2011 in the series Buddhism and the Big Questions.
