Registrace 23. 03. 2007
Adyashanti (“primordial peace”) is an American-born spiritual teacher. He has taught throughout the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. He is the author of 11 books. Born Stephen Gray in 1962, he became interested in enlightenment at the age of 19.
At 20, he began studying Zen Buddhism with Arvis Joen Justi, whose teacher was Taizan Maezumi Roshi. Adyashanti also attended retreats with Jakusho Kwong Roshi (a disciple of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi).
At 25, while meditating one day, Adyashanti felt what he has described as “an incredible onrush of energy.” This was his first awakening, followed by an inner voice that urged him to “Keep going.” At 31 Adyashanti had another profound awakening. Arvis Justi then asked him to start teaching.
In 2000, a US nonprofit, Open Gate Sangha, Inc., was established to make available the teachings of Adyashanti to all those who sincerely yearn for peace and freedom.
Adyashanti lives in the Eastern Sierras with his wife, Mukti, also a spiritual teacher.

Freedom from a Fixed View (Excerpt)
Adyashanti invites you to engage with the moment fully and welcome in a feeling of openness and fluidity, while letting the moment guide you towards its natural fulfillment. Excerpted from March 15, 2015, Palo Alto Meeting, “Behold the Fluidity of Truth”: bit.ly/4cbSuL0.

Adya points to the Being that is the true essence of everyone we meet, inviting us to look more deeply when we meet someone than their surface personality and revealing our tendency to lose sight of the essence of those whom we know most intimately.

The Immediate Experience of Being (Excerpt)
I even didn’t know why I went all the way, I only knew afterwards that I didn’t have to look tor holidays etc. In a way there was, call it a force, ‘this is a pull’. Never went anywhere, except California where my teacher lives and visited beaches, where silence reigns.
The limitation of oneness dreaming up being a person. Not the other way around.
The power of concious lamenting.

To my Heart Adyashanti!
Your are doing amazing work Dr K. The mixture of Eastern and Western knowledge you provide is incredible, and it's what the world needs. You've helped me so much, thank you.

Adyashanti does not teach anymore ? 2024 ?
@bobrik335 - it's true . . . Adyashanti retired from teaching in October 2023. But we have a huge archive of previous teachings from which we will continue to populate his CZcams channel. ~ Amy from The Open Gate Sangha Support Team
This question I recognize so much! 🙏 The answer Adyashanti gives is the best from knowing, being almost 82! It takes so many years….
If we need it, it's necessary.
💖🙏
When you realize none of it is ever going to stop, it becomes a lot harder to hold onto the idea of getting anwhere with it. It becomes harder to care about making anything any particular way when it's always changing against your will. So as long as you are actually involved in and paying attention to your own life, shouldn't this naturally come about over time? Why does it take us so long if ever?
❤
Intentions, (made when the two become One) guide the material world. True intention has no doubting in it - it’s learned through experience, through the examples life shows you. Sooner or later you know to trust in the wisdom - crazy as that used to seem! God’s thoughts.

There are defaced Buddhas carved into stone over 100 feet. There really was a time when the awakened resigned. It takes decades if not centuries for the technologies to create such vernacular architecture personified. Thank you for the video. You're a golden rod until we don't need the pointer out here. In this way we get to see an aspect of your nature which is virtue. I think you're what they used to call a shepherd. Thanks for leading.
Thanks, love, grace, courage and understanding for all.🎯♥😶 🙏♾☮

Meditation is the hardest death trap of Ahriman and Lucifer to trap you in the deep shadow of subconscious mind programmings and beliefsystem ✊🏽💙💯😘💎
Flow well 💙

Been struggling with a few of my year 9 students. Little did I know that our classroom run-ins were all inside jobs Thank you, Adya; it's good to see where my actual struggles lie. Tasting the play underpinning life’s dramas.
Yes. I experience this. I have experienced this
Amen
Always great pointers. Thank you brother ❤❤❤
How very beautiful. And so serendipitous (which is of course the design).
🙏🌈 Exactly where I am with almost 82 after beingwith my teacher for 23 years. Not even thinking that…… etc. That doesn’t grap me anymore.
Now I understand what fluidity means
Thank you <3.
Thank you. <3
Powerful ~ we live our whole lives trying to escape the most natural of feelings and emotions!

I love Adya so much. Also, the idea of dropping all ideas and simply experiencing the very act of *being*, free from all conditions, is the ultimate goal of Buddhist practice, as per the Pali Canon: the end of all Fabrications, of all conditioned phenomena. Nibbana.

1:45 “Who” is being challenged tho if no one is here as a doer? 3:17 *the spiritual search is Fortunate and unfortunate. Facts. Worst possible 10 years of my life give or a take a few peak, blissed out, fleeting moments. The other 99.999% has been horrendous confusion, nearly constant suicidality, horrific depressions, pointlessness, futility, nihilism and hopelessness. I feel as if I’ve been sentenced to hell, and Catholic school of my childhood installed an unending guilt, shame program and pure terror of a hell worse than this when I die. I wish I’d just never found any of this stuff honestly 😤
"and when you receive it, there is no disturbance. Just a sound." Receive as opposed to resist ...
What is not explained well enough, is the inability of many humans to come to themselves, and even more and more in those days. So then the truth as a topic is still making people mostly to fight. Therefore a more practical and simple question need to be asked.
Which is?
@@Misslotusification What are you when you're not trying to be anything?
What is the only thing that never changed since you were born?

I am forever grateful that such profound teachings and resources are available for free on CZcams. Our world is amazing.
