Zen in English: Unarmed and Disarming Peace

from Akazienzendo Podcast · host Akazienzendo

Bernd Bender, Dharma Talk given on May 11th, 2025 via Zoom for JissoJi Zen Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.How can we practice peace, an “unarmed and disarming peace, humble and persevering,” as the new pope put it recently? Aren‘t the forces that hinder the free flowing of living life getting stronger every day? In this dharma talk Bernd addresses these questions from the viewpoint of Zen practice. In a time when totalitarian ideologues inject resentment and fear in order to control our minds Zazen has almost subversive qualities. Whenever we practice we’re de-occupying our minds, thereby finding an inner posture that is unhindered and without fear, a stance from which we can respond appropriately to the cries of the world.--Bernd Bender, Dharma-Vortrag am 11.05.2025, gehalten per Zoom für JissoJi Zen Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.Wie können wir Frieden praktizieren, einen „unbewaffneten und entwaffnenden Frieden, bescheiden und beharrend,“ wie es der neue Papst vor Kurzem ausdrückte? Werden die Kräfte, die den freien Fluss von Lebendigkeit unterdrücken, nicht von Tag zu Tag mächtiger? In seinem Dharma-Vortrag beschäftigt sich Bernd mit diesen Fragen aus der Perspektive der Zen-Praxis. In einer Zeit, in der totalitäre Ideologen Ressentiment und Angst streuen, um unseren Geist zu kontrollieren, erhält Zazen fast subversive Qualitäten. Wann immer wir praktizieren, befreien wir unseren besetzten Geist und finden eine ungehemmte, furchtlose innere Haltung, eine Seinsweise, von der aus wir angemessen auf die Schreie der Welt antworten können.Support the show
