(Englisch below) In diesem Kurs bietet Meister YongHua eine leicht zugängliche Einführung in die Lehren des Reinen-Land-Buddhismus sowie den Mahayana. Finde Ruhe und eine andere Perspektive auf das Leben im Herzen Berlins – Reines Land Buddhismus mit Meister YongHua Mitten im lebendigen Rhythmus Berlins entdeckst du einen Raum der Stille und inneren Gelassenheit. Am Mittwoch, den 20. Mai 2026, laden wir dich von 18:30–20:30 Uhr herzlich zu einem Einführungsworkshop in den Reines-Land Buddhismus in den Räumen der Buddhistischen Gesellschaft Berlin e.V. ein. Dieser Workshop verbindet authentische buddhistische Lehren mit sanftem Stretching und bietet dir die Möglichkeit: 🌿 Stress und Anspannung loszulassen und auch in herausfordernden Momenten ruhig zu bleiben. 🌿 Konzentration und geistige Klarheit zu stärken, um fokussierter und ausgeglichener durch den Alltag zu gehen. 🌿 Mitgefühl und Geduld zu entwickeln, und so Beziehungen auf natürliche Weise zu vertiefen. 🌿Einen Weg zu finden, alles Leiden zu beenden und ewige Glückseligkeit zu erfahren. 🙏 Der Reines-Land-Buddhismus ist heute die weltweit am weitesten verbreitete Praxisform des Buddhismus. Dennoch ist das Reines-Land-Dharma-Tor den meisten Menschen im Westen noch weitgehend unbekannt. Daher besteht das Ziel dieses Workshops darin, eine leicht zugängliche Einführung in die Lehren des Reinen Landes sowie allgemein in den Mahayana-Buddhismus zu geben. 😔 Fühlst du dich erschöpft oder niedergeschlagen? Die Rezitation des Namens des Buddha hilft dem Geist, zur Ruhe zu kommen. Mit weniger zerstreuten Gedanken fällt es leichter, sich zu konzentrieren und die eigene Energie über den Tag hinweg zu bewahren. Viele Teilnehmende berichten von mehr Klarheit, Gelassenheit und innerer Stabilität – ganz ohne Druck oder Leistungsdenken. Das erwartet dich: • Einführung in den Reines-Land Buddhismus • Dehnübungen zur körperlichen Vorbereitung • Gemeinsame Rezitation des Namens des Buddha • Fragen & Antworten Programmdetails: 📅 Datum: Mittwoch, 20. Mai 2026 📍 Ort: Buddhistische Gesellschaft Berlin e.V. (BGB), Wulffstr. 6, 12165 Berlin 🧘‍♂️ Leitung: Meister YongHua, Meister XianXin und die Ehrwürdige XianPu Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos und erfolgt auf Spendenbasis. Alle Interessierten sind herzlich willkommen – es sind keine Vorkenntnisse erforderlich. Fragen oder Anmeldung: 📞 Steffen: +49 170 893 5041 (WhatsApp) 📧 chanreinesland@gmail.com ✨ Eine Einladung, zur Ruhe zu kommen, Weisheit zu kultivieren und mit leichterem Herzen nach Hause zurückzukehren. ________________________________________ In this course, Master YongHua offers an accessible introduction to the teachings of Pure Land Buddhism as well as Mahayana Buddhism. Find peace and a new perspective on life in the heart of Berlin – Pure Land Buddhism with Master YongHua. In the midst of Berlin’s vibrant rhythm, discover a space of stillness and inner calm. On Wednesday, May 20, 2026, we warmly invite you from 6:30–8:30 PM to an introductory workshop on Pure Land Buddhism at the premises of the Buddhist Society Berlin e.V. This workshop combines authentic Buddhist teachings with gentle stretching and offers you the opportunity to: 🌿 Let go of stress and tension, and remain calm even in challenging moments. 🌿 Strengthen concentration and mental clarity, so you can move through daily life more focused and balanced. 🌿 Develop compassion and patience, naturally deepening your relationships. 🌿 Find a path to end all suffering and experience eternal bliss. 🙏 Pure Land Buddhism is currently the most widely practiced form of Buddhism in the world. Nevertheless, the Pure Land Dharma door remains largely unknown to most people in the West. The aim of this workshop is therefore to provide an accessible introduction to the teachings of the Pure Land, as well as to Mahayana Buddhism more broadly. 😔 Do you feel exhausted or low? Reciting the name of the Buddha helps the mind come to rest. With fewer scattered thoughts, it becomes easier to concentrate and sustain your energy throughout the day. Many participants report greater clarity, calmness, and inner stability—without pressure or a performance mindset. What to expect: • Introduction to Pure Land Buddhism • Stretching exercises for physical preparation • Group recitation of the Buddha’s name • Q&A session Program details: 📅 Date: Wednesday, May 20, 2026 📍 Location: Buddhist Society Berlin e.V.

Hi everyone. We'll meet and play a relaxed game of ultimate in Volkspark Rehberge if the weather cooperates. Our games focus on having great team play, where the teams work together to advance the disk down the field. It's more important to work well together as a team than have a few star players get a point with lucky shots. For this reason, players of all skill levels (especially those who have never played) are welcome to join Bring plenty of water, shoes you can run in and comfortable clothing that can get a bit dirty. Although we're an established group, newcomers are always welcome. After the game we try to spend some time together and have fun. Finding us: We meet in this big grassy area, it's a short bike ride from the subway stop Rehberge on the U6 or Amrumer Strasse on the U9. It can be a bit tricky to find the first time, so we've got a few methods to help out (don't trust the meetup map pin, it often shows some point in the park, not the exact spot where we are) 1. GPS: 52°32'54.9"N 13°19'51.0"E ; 52.548581, 13.330842 2.

Although adherence to the rules, proper equipment, and common sense reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist; and, you willingly and freely assume all such risks.*

**Mindfulness X Effortlessness** Mindfulness and Effortlessness as a basic practice originate from different streams of Buddhism, yet they are complementary and their qualities are useful in all branches of Meditation and Spiritual Practice. “*For a moment, there’s nothing else in the world but the spring of our step and the sun on our face. The present moment fills our consciousness entirely, banishing yesterday and tomorrow, hope and regret, plans, schemes, should-have-beens, what-ifs, and let-me-justs. […] This moment exists all by itself. Why don’t we simply continue to live like this for the rest of time? The answer is obvious. We don’t believe that life can be so simple*.” (André Kukla) **We warmly invite you for an afternoon of exploring Mindfulness and Effortlessness.** We will announce the exact location in Berlin Mitte after your participation is confirmed. 💫 What this event offers for you: * Guided Meditations for arriving, calming the mind and tuning into your intuition * Mindful Yoga to connect with the body and allow natural presence * Mindfulness and Effortlessness Meditation Practice to explore qualities of meditation and relate them with your own path * Meeting people interested in spirituality and Meditation * Safe Space for sharing - non-hierarchical and non-judgemental 🧘 About the Facilitators: * Kamil is an Effortless Mindfulness facilitator and self-exploration enthusiast. * Martin is a certified Mindfulness Teacher and Yogi who enjoys to practice Yogic - as well as Shamata/Vipassana - Meditation. *This is mainly for people who have a regular practice. If you are not sure whether you should join, please contact Martin* **Event hosted by: Spiritual Journey Sharing X Meditation & Non-Duality Practice Communit** *"The essence of saintliness is total acceptance of the present moment, harmony with things as they happen. A saint does not want things to be different from what they are; he knows that, considering all factors, they are unavoidable. He is friendly with the inevitable and, therefore, does not suffer. Pain he may know, but it does not shatter him*.” (Nisargadatta Maharaj)

Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
