Adyashanti Video

Here is a wonderful 7 minute compilation by Lucia Lagana which features almost all the best quotes from the spiritual masters of today and from long ago. Definitely worth the time to watch…

A koan is a riddle or puzzle that Zen Buddhists use during meditation to help them unravel greater truths about the world and about themselves.

Zen masters have been testing their students with these stories, questions, or phrases for centuries. Many koans can be traced back to the collections of sayings amassed by Chinese priests in the 12th and 13th centuries.

Koans may seem like paradoxes at first glance. It is up to the Zen student to tease out their meaning. Often, after a prolonged and exhausting intellectual struggle, the student realizes that the koan is actually meant to be understood by the spirit and by intuition.

How awake are you in this moment? No matter how many experiences of awakening you’ve had, what truly matters is how you express your awakeness in your everyday interactions. In this 6 minute video clip, Adyashanti differentiates between a revelatory moment and an ongoing commitment to express your awakening through your soulful orientation.

In this 9 minute clip, Adyashanti invites us to authentically embody our awakening by being fully grounded in our connection to the realities of life. As we contemplate our lives, we can ask ourselves how we can allow our awakening to authentically inform our way of being in everything we do.

In this lovely little 3 minute reminder, Adyashanti explains that if we want to live our daily life operating from the deepest part of us, we just need to start with the small stuff and work our way up from there.  Let’s watch…

In this compelling 14 minute dialogue, Adyashanti speaks with a Sangha member about the ‘I got it, I lost it’ phenomenon when it comes to realizing the fundamental reality.  Together they discuss the process of self-realization, the shifts of perspective that come, and what to do when it feels like the realization is not present in your life.

In this calming guided meditation, Adyashanti leads you to discover the pre-existing quiet within every moment, and how meditation is something that is happening rather than something you do.

In this illuminating 9 minute excerpt, Adyashanti explores the immense mystery of our being. If we step outside our acquired knowledge and enter into a place of not knowing, we can truly experience the living mystery that we are.

In this lovely 10 minute video, Adyashanti shares how we cab develop a contemplative practice that involves an inward arc of exploration where consciousness turns within and you enter the unknown. Let’s get started…

Our spiritual search can be initiated by the ego as a reaction to the challenges of life or from the immensity of the Self. In this splendid 10 minute video,  Adyashanti looks into both of these avenues of spiritual discovery and into what role the ego plays in our spiritual search. Even if our search is mainly driven by the ego at the beginning, something beyond ego can begin to move within you as the true spiritual instinct arises.

In this lovely 5 minute video, Adyashanti explains that the world of experience has a very powerful magnetic attraction but that we must learn to let life be, let what happens… happen, and find out what remains.  This is one way to experience our true nature…

In this lovely little 4 minute video, Adyashanti describes the power of being on retreat, without external and internal distractions, you are left to explore yourself to the deepest degree.

In this wisdom filled 7 minute video, Adyashanti explains that Being FULLY present is essence of being spiritually awake. He goes on to explain that this can not be done with the mind because being fully present is something that the mind can not do because its very nature is to focus on the past or the future. Let’s listen to Adyashanti’s recommendation for this…

This this important little 7 minute clip, Adyashanti explains that although Awakening is a fundamental realization in life, it is not a cure all or end all. It will not suddenly wipe out all the circumstances in your life or life issues you may be experiencing.  Its very important that we don’t fall in love with idea of Awakening. Let’s listen…

In this lovely little 8 minute video, Adyashanti explains that the direct encounter with your immediate experience of being is the most important thing that there is spiritually. Adyashanti explores the vitality that lives within your immediate experience of being. As you explore that aspect of being, you are encountering the silence that lives at the heart of existence.

Adyashanti The deepest form of spirituality is something we engage in, not something we simply believe in. What is worth orienting a life around? If we never contemplate these kinds of questions, then our life tends to be dictated by outward experiences. In this short 7 minute video,  Adyashanti invites you to look past your beliefs to within your own experience and discover what values are deeply meaningful to you.

In this 5 minute video clip, Adyashanti explains that deep spirituality begins when we finally have the maturity to recognize how deeply and profoundly we are a mystery unto ourselves. He invites you into this revolutionary state where you are no longer judging yourself but you are diving into the mystery of being.

This very special 3 minute video from Adyashanti helps us to remember that the authentic hallmark of a true authentic Awakening is that you experience extraordinary intimacy with all of life. Recognizing the nature of being within oneself, one can recognize this same beingness within all. In this realization, barriers between self and other dissolve, and all that remains is the primordial oneness of all that is.
