Chögyam Trungpa hat die Fünf Skandhas am Ende seines ersten Jahres in Nordamerika in seinem Retreatzentrum in Vermont gelehrt. Er betonte eine erfahrungsmäßige Annäherung an dieses eher abstrakte Thema aus dem Abhidharma.

Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche lehrte die Skandhas 1999 während eines dreimonatigen Retreats. Er präsentierte das Thema auf eine umfassende und eher der traditionellen Herangehensweise entsprechenden Art.

Wir versuchen diese beiden Annäherungen zusammenzuführen.


According to Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, spiritual practice means relating with the working basis of one’s existence, which is one’s state of mind. The method for beginning to relate directly with mind is the practice of mindfulness. In this seminar, we will present the practice of mindfulness as a basic approach to the spiritual journey that is common to all traditions of Buddhism.

Learning to work with our anxiety, we are not blocked by fear. Through an exploration of the Buddhist teachings of mind and the nature of reality, we learn to see clearly. We dare to face life and death as they are. The meditator, open to uncertainty, goes beyond the emotions of hope and fear to experience equanimity.
