Pema Chodron - Becoming limitless

  • Опубліковано 31 жов 2016
  • 'Spiritual practice isn't about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better', teaches Pema Chodron. 'It is', she says, 'about befriending who we are already'.
    When we embrace this attitude, the walls of isolation, depression, and anger begin to crumble-and in its place feelings of love, compassion, joy, and equanimity shine forth. Here are Pema Chodron's definitive teachings on the Buddhist practice called the 'Four Limitless Ones' - a practice that helps us recognize and help grow the seeds of love, compassion, joy and equanimity already present in our hearts.

    I cried throughout this. I woke this morning--exhausted from dreaming & my heart felt heavy. I was irritable & angry and tuned into Pema. I am so grateful for the simply the sound of this woman's voice. I really needed this.

    Thank you, Pema. I'm starting to find some hope and purpose in your words and the words of other teachers like Tich Nhat Hanh. I'm 25 and suffering from schizophrenia. My day to day life feels like constant inescapable suffering and it's quite scary sometimes. I want to study and practice mindfulness and meditation sincerely and become better at it to try and improve my quality of life. You're wonderful and I'm looking forward to finding more of your works 💜

    Im so grateful, this practice came to me in the perfect moment, it was really amazing to include many different people animals plants and the earth itself into my heart, and finally i included pema in my loving embrace, and i felt how she was her actually holding all my deep pain with inmense compassion while i was crying deeply, as im doing now while remembering the experience.

    Most people who have material wealth and good fortune tend not to seek answers in the Spiritual life.Generally it’s only those who have suffered who are forced to look for meaning in their lives.However many of the so called comfortable people I have encountered are deeply afraid of death and losing what they have under this veneer of happiness...These and similar talks are the only sane way to live and can transform suffering at many levels...Pema Chodron is a genuine teacher just like Thich Naht Hahn whom I read for thirty years..many thanks

      That's true, but I also think that people who are very good at manifesting in the material world aren't very interested because they often don't have much access to spiritual states of mind, so it's also a chicken and egg situation. In my work as a massage therapist, I come across people who are very accomplished financially and they know something is missing but they just don't seem to have the brain wiring to connect to this kind of teaching.

    • @eoharafisher
      @eoharafisher 4 роки тому +1

      I think material wealth can inhibit spiritual growth because of clinging, and the intuition that life will change with growth. "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of god." And then people say, "oh, that's only attachment to wealth, not wealth itself..." But if you're not attached, why not give it away? There's so much suffering from material need. I find myself suspicious of millionaire spiritual teachers (NOT buddhist monks and nuns, or other spiritual renunciates.)

    Pema's idea of the true nature of reality from 6:40 to 8:00 is quite similar to the German philosopher Georg Hegel's concept of the absolute spirit, which is basically the idea of true reality as self-conscious self-creative spirit ("geist") that is conscious of itself as spirit. He believes objectification of spirit as morality, law, etc. to be spirits objectification of itself against itself; he believes subjectivity of spirit, or spirit taking itself to be the true object of reality, ego consciousness, is just another form of spirit objectifying itself as spirit. The true distinctions that need to be taken down are subject-object, you-me, us-them.

      Hegel was thankfully discredited by Marx. . ie the spirit is shaped by your material conditions. Its matter over mind not vice versa. .So called beingness cannot exist without food and water. .

    • @ItinerantIntrovert
      @ItinerantIntrovert 3 роки тому

      @@philipjohnson3298 Marx didn't discredit Hegel. He adapted Hegel's philosophy into his the core of his own theories of political economy. Maybe what you mean to say is that he turned it on its head and made it materialist. But without Hegel there would be no Marx. Marx held Hegel's theory in high regard although he strongly de-emphasized the immaterial.

    I deliberately refained from the "head turn" reference. . Epistemogically Marx progressed the debate away from thoughts as independent of a material dialectic. . Buddhism has yet to catch up.

    This ignores the class structure in Buddhism, the buddhist treatment of muslims in Burma. . Her words are ideological and just as conceptual as the rest of us.

      You can't really say that the religious/spiritual experiences of others aren't valid or honest just because of the actions of other groups or individuals with the same identity. Religious/spiritual experience is ultimately personal and its a little unfair to say that she is being ingenuine.
