Finding joy
Negative Gedanken
in Glück verwandeln

in German
In unserem Meditations-Workshop konzentrieren wir uns darauf, negative Gedanken in Glück zu verwandeln, insbesondere das Gefühl der Eifersucht und Unzufriedenheit. Eifersucht kann uns belasten und unser eigenes Glück verhindern. Heute lernen wir, diese negativen Gedanken zu erkennen und umzuwandeln. Anstatt uns von Eifersucht und Unzufriedenheit beherrschen zu lassen, verwandeln wir sie in positive Gedanken.
Stellen wir uns vor, wie die Freude anderer uns inspirieren und motivieren kann. Indem wir Eifersucht und Unzufriedenheit loslassen, öffnen wir unser Herz für authentische Freude und schaffen eine positive Umgebung, die nicht nur uns, sondern auch anderen Zufriedenheit bringt. Gemeinsam entdecken wir, wie wir aus negativen Gefühlen Glück schöpfen können.
A balanced heart
The foundation of all good relationships
16 November 2024
10:00am–1:00pm
with Gen Kelsang Gyalchog
Many of our daily problems arise due to our unbalanced minds towards others. We tend to either gravitate strongly towards those we like or find attractive or harbor anger and hatred towards those we perceive as enemies or unattractive. In encounters with strangers or individuals who neither attract nor repel us, we often default to indifference. These unbalanced attitudes breed attachment, fuel unrealistic expectations, ignite anger and aversion, and foster a sense of apathy. These states of mind perpetuate daily frustrations, anxieties, and a pervasive sense of boredom.
Während dieses Retreats, erkunden wir, wie wir eine warme und freundliche Einstellung gegenüber allen kultivieren können – ein ausgewogenes Herz. Indem wir solche echte Warmherzigkeit entwickeln, wird unser Geist friedvoll, und wir fühlen uns unabhängig von unseren Umständen und mit wem wir auch immer zusammen sind, nicht gestört. Jeder und jede Situation kann dann eine Quelle des Friedens und des Glücks für uns werden.
