Metaphysical Studies

El Buda expresa en el Dhammapada que 'la mente entrenada trae felicidad'. La Meditación Budista calma la turbulencia de la mente y nos permite moldearla para así llevarla a estados de conciencia mas sublimes. Durante las clases tomamos turnos entre enseñando dos prácticas de meditación esenciales, la metta bhavana o el desarrollo del amor incondicional y el seguimiento de la respiración (mindfulness) o el cultivo de la atención plena. También ofrecemos una breve charla de 15 minutos sobre un aspecto del budismo. Estas clases son una excelente manera de probar la meditación. No hace falta reservar. Ven cuando quieras. **La clase es adecuada para principiantes o aquellos con experiencia.** Pedimos una aportación de 10€ ***[¡Para más detalles haga clic aquí!](https://budismo-barcelona.com/2022/07/clase-abierta-de-meditacion-presencial)***

¿Qué hacemos? A las 20:00h tenemos una meditación budista guiada. La meditación tiene una duración de unos 25 minutos y es accesible y beneficiosa para personas de todos los niveles de experiencia. ¡AVISO! Si es tu primer dia te esperamos 10 minutos antes. ¡Estaremos encatados de recibirte! ¿Qué es el Camino del Diamante? El Buda dio instrucciones a tres clases de personas. Las primeras que deseaban evitar el sufrimiento recibieron las enseñanzas sobre Causa y Efecto, llamadas Camino Angosto (Hinayana). El segundo tipo de personas sentía la necesidad de beneficiar a los demás, por lo que les dio enseñanzas sobre compasión y sabiduría, llamadas Gran Camino (Mahayana). Finalmente a las personas que tenían una confianza sólida en su propio potencial y en de los demás, el Buda explicó enseñanzas del Camino del Diamante (Vajrayana). En este último nivel utilizamos métodos de identificación con la meta y actuamos como un Buda hasta que llegamos a ser como él. En el nivel más elevado, la meta, es el completo desarrollo de la mente, a lo cual denominó el Gran Sello (Mahamudra). ¿Quiénes somos? El Centro Budista Camino del Diamante de Barcelona forma parte de los más de 700 centros de meditación a nivel internacional de la tradición Karma Kagyu del Budismo Tibetano. Estos centros han sido fundados y guiados por Lama Ole Nydahl y su esposa Hannah Nydahl, de acuerdo con los deseos de H. H. XVI Karmapa. Ahora están bajo la guía espiritual de H.H. XVII Gyalwa Karmapa, Trinley Thaye Dorje. Nuestro centro está formado por personas que tienen sus propios trabajos e incorporan las enseñanzas y las meditaciones del Camino del Diamante en sus vidas cotidianas. Nuestros miembros comparten la responsabilidad de guiar meditaciones, contestar preguntas y dar explicaciones sobre budismo. Nuestro trabajo no es remunerado y se basa en el idealismo y la amistad. Realizamos noches semanales de meditación, que están abiertas al público y son gratuitas. Hay un ambiente social relajado y se animan las preguntas. Las meditaciones son guiadas en castellano, permitiendo que el espacio, la claridad y la alegría surjan naturalmente. Otras actividades incluyen charlas, enseñanzas y práctica personal.

Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you. • WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT? At every meetup we have a discussion using Socratic method: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method) We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. • WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? • WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP? Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory. Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue. The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

This is the fourth in my "Satan" series. In the third session we ended with John Milton. We will continue the theme with William Blake, who was visited spiritually by Milton just as Milton was visited by his own muse. Blake was an engraver, poet, writer and painter. Many today believe he was a creative genius. He has inspired creatives including Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, Van Morrison, Billy Bragg, the beat poets including Allen Ginsberg, *Brave New World* author Aldous Huxley, *Hannibal* author Thomas Harris, *His Dark Materials* author Philip Pullman, *V for Vendetta* author Alan Moore and many others. And he has inspired me, and helped me understand what creativity really means, and how to live life authentically. During his life-time he was virtually unknown, and he died a pauper. A small exhibition of his work when he was 50 resulted in a solitary review, which said that Blake was an unfortunate lunatic who ought by rights to be in an asylum were it not for his mild manners. The poet William Wordsworth wrote, “There was no doubt that this poor man was mad” and the art critic John Ruskin called him “diseased and wild.” Even his wife said she didn't understand his work. He only sold 30 copies of his most popular book in his life-time, and didn't sell a single copy of others. But Blake's insights into creativity and existence don't require years of study — they require a willingness to see differently and have a very individual approach life. Everyone has their own Blake, and this session is going to be about mine. Bring wine/beer/drinks/food/snacks/whatever if you want to. **Our events fill up very quickly.

**Aquesta activitat té un aforament limitat i les places s'assignen a través del sistema d'inscripció de Meetup. Les places obtingudes es reservaran fins al dia de la trobada al moment en què el grup hagi seleccionat el tema de debat. Si arribeu més tard d'aquell moment, la vostra plaça podrà ser cedida a una altra persona.** Hola i benvinguts al nostre proper Meetup de filosofia de Sòcrates Cafè! Vols una comprensió més profunda de tu mateix i del món? Valores el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós? Si és així, aquesta trobada serà molt interessant per a tu. Es tracta d'una reunió bilingüe; on podrem intervenir tant en català com en espanyol. **ON ENS TROBEM?** Centre cívic drassanes Nou de la rambla, 43 https://maps.app.goo.gl/hMzFvMG8x864Tsyf6 **QUAN ENS TROBEM?** Els divendres de 19:15 a 20:45. Si us plau, arribeu a temps. Començarem puntualment. **QUANTES PERSONES ENS REUNIM?** Es proposen sessions amb aforaments diversos, de manera que el nombre d'assistents pot variar cada setmana. **QUÈ PASSA A LES REUNIONS?** A cada reunió tenim una discussió utilitzant el mètode socràtic: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method). Fem, responem i discutim preguntes i idees per estimular el pensament crític i ampliar les nostres perspectives amb alguns conceptes i pensaments en els quals mai hem pensat. L'objectiu principal d'aquestes trobades és enriquir-nos amb les perspectives dels altres, i no convèncer els altres sobre les nostres perspectives. Les reunions són sobre les nostres pròpies filosofies de la vida i no necessàriament el que els grans filòsofs i acadèmics han dit o escrit. No és un club de debat ni una plataforma per fer proselitisme. En canvi, posem èmfasi en qüestionar, tenir una mentalitat oberta i desafiar les nostres pròpies suposicions mentre escoltem i respectem les opinions compartides per altres persones. Una reunió de Sòcrates Cafè es considera un èxit quan els participants surten de la discussió amb moltes més preguntes de les que tenien al principi. **QUINS TEMES ES DISCUTEIXEN A LES REUNIONS?** Els participants suggereixen temes al principi de cada reunió. Després votem i triem el tema més popular per discutir-lo. No és necessària una formació acadèmica en filosofia; només es requereix entusiasme per intercanviar idees i punts de vista. Alguns exemples de temes escollits a reunions anteriors: \- Per quins ideals val la pena morir? \- Per què mai estem satisfets? \- Per què els éssers humans estem informats que la societat va malament i els líders també estan ben informats\, i no obstant això les coses continuen igual? \- És necessària la identitat? \- Quin és el preu ètic i l'avarícia? \- Què és la postveritat? \- Com és possible que les persones a les societats democràtiques estiguin tan obsessionades pel poder? \(Desig de ser diferent\, millor\, més fort que els altres\)\. \- Què és l'amistat? **QUI POT PARTICIPAR EN AQUEST MEETUP?** Qualsevol persona és més que benvinguda a unir-se a les nostres trobades. Aquests events reuneixen persones de diferents orígens i cultures, tot i que no és obligatori tenir formació filosòfica. Els nostres participants habituals són persones que tenen desig d'una comprensió més profunda de si mateixos i del món. Persones que valoren el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós.

"Amor, Arquetipos y Proyección Energía femenina y masculina en las relaciones ¿Alguna vez te preguntaste por qué te atrae siempre el mismo tipo de persona? ¿O por qué ciertas relaciones comienzan con intensidad… y terminan repitiendo el mismo patrón? En este encuentro exploraremos cómo, según la psicología profunda de Carl Jung, no nos enamoramos solo de una persona, sino de un arquetipo que se activa en nuestro mundo interno. A través de los arquetipos y de las energías femenina y masculina, veremos cómo se construye la atracción, qué proyectamos en el otro y por qué muchas veces el amor se convierte en conflicto." Coste: 5 euros( para gastos de sala y organización).
Sólo en efectivo. No Bizum.
