Für junge Menschen. Mit #ShifuSimplicity und #TenzinPeljor

Truth comes, when you realize that you possess a lot of things you didn’t needed to live a happy and healthy life, but you have them, because you were told you needed them. Step away from delusion by reflecting on your own needs vs. wants. Be the master of your happiness. #Buddhism #Zen 🇩🇪:👇

If you ever feel overwhelmed- find a quiet spot and ask yourself why you feel that way. Analyze it. Disassemble the reason until you realize that there isn’t a reason for a fight or flight response. Exhale and take smaller steps. #Buddhism #Zen #Selfcare 🇩🇪:👇

Greed, hate, and delusions. Three mental poisons that fall like dominoes and trap the owner in a spiral of doom. Understanding greed, hate, and delusion provides freedom. Ask yourself the next time if you acted out of greed and then analyze the origin. #Buddhism #Zen #Mentalpoison 🇩🇪:👇

You can overcome all your fears when you start understanding your role on this planet. #Buddhism #Zen #Fear 🇩🇪:👇

Watching a bee enjoy its breakfast in the sunshine- is my favorite form of meditation. 🐝 🙏 for their work. #Buddhism #Zen #Meditation #Bees 🇩🇪👇

Wisdom comes from applying your experiences to your daily life. That moment when you sit still, without a thought- spacing in the sunlight, feeling pure bliss… that is an experience of you. Apply yourself to life and learn to love again. #Buddhism #Zen #Bliss 🇩🇪:👇

Morning meditation — It’s astonishing how repetitive thoughts are. https://wp.me/pFy3u-9Zl

How do wildfires—and other climate disasters—challenge our understanding of impermanence and interconnection? Join Dale Wright and Susan Murphy for a live virtual event at Tricycle’s Buddhism & Ecology Summit 2025 on April 22 at 3 p.m. ET to explore this question and more.

“No matter if we have practiced for many years or have been diligent, clinging to the idea of getting some favorable condition because of our practice or diligence is not following buddhadharma.” —Kosho Uchiyama Roshi

Meditation. Mindfulness. Almost sounds like work, but it’s actually easier than you think…🤓 You can walk, you can sit, you can work, you can cook, you can play an instrument…and you can meditate during all that. Just be in the here and now. Don’t actively think. Learn living again! #Buddhism #Zen

The difference of duality lies within its value. If everything has the same value- there is no duality. 🚗 or🏎️ has the same value in terms of its features: it gets me safely from point A to point B. 🏁 Doubting reality - is a breeding ground for delusions. Greed is a delusion. #Buddhism #Zen 🇩🇪👇

Non-duality: A spring of bliss. Greed is the cause for mental fog. Greed leads to envy. Envy leads to hate. Hate leads to fear. Try pacing yourself little by little. You can live without fear. You can live without hate. You can live without envy. #Buddhism #Zen #Greed 🇩🇪:👇

"I promise myself that I will enjoy every minute of the day that is given me to live" Thich Nhat Hanh

The story of the Buddha has been told countless times—but never quite like this. David Guy reviews “The Story of the Buddha” by John Tarrant, a retelling that breathes new life into an ancient myth.

When you’ve reached your lowest point and you feel defeated- sit down and think about the present moment. Contemplate about your affliction and find its root. If the root is fear - remind yourself that the Buddha’s nature is within all of us. Buddha knows no fear. Bask in that. 🇩🇪:👇 #Buddhism #Zen

“To a world knotted in hatreds and aggression and a host of follies, grand and mean, heroic and base, Buddhism offers a unique combination of unshakable equanimity and a deeply compassionate practical concern.” - From “Buddhism and Social Action” www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/...

True happiness comes from experiencing oneself in the purest form. This form is called meditation. #Buddhism #Zen #Meditation #Love 🇩🇪:👇

Every living creature on this planet suffers. It is part of our reality. We all suffer everyday. Remember that when you meet strangers who suffer. Kindness looks good on you 🥰 #Buddhism #Zen #Kindness #Liebenswürdigkeit 🇩🇪:👇

“Awake is not an identity.” The Buddha’s refusal to be labeled reveals a profound truth: our identities are fluid, not fixed.

"The Tibetan word that gets translated as 'faith' (dad pa) does not mainly mean belief; more significantly, it suggests receptivity, openheartedness, and the capacity for taking delight in what inspires you." —Anne C. Klein #DailyDharma

"Practicing in the company of a spiritual community with friends of like-minded values makes a great difference in supporting this ongoing spiritual, emotional, and moral growth. It is far more difficult to do it on your own." —Geoff Dawson #DailyDharma tricycle.org/article/mora...
