Übersicht mit KI
The line "I go, I go hand in hand with the beauty" is a partial quote from a song associated with the Navajo (Diné) people, often translated as "Shí naashá, shí naashá, shí naashá biké hózhǫ́ lá" or a similar rendering that means "I am going, I am going, I am going in beauty" or "I am going in beauty, the way of beauty is around me". This phrase refers to the Diné concept of Hózhǫ́, which signifies balance, peace, harmony, and inner strength, and is central to their spiritual and way of life.
Understanding the Line
"I am going...": This signifies a path, a journey, or a way of life that the speaker is on.
"in beauty": This isn't about physical appearance but a state of being. It's a holistic concept that includes:
Balance and Harmony: Harmony with oneself and the world around.
Inner Strength: Developing physical, emotional, and mental strength to overcome fears.
Joy and Peace: Achieving happiness, confidence, and a sense of inner peace.
"Walking in Beauty"
The concept of walking in beauty is expressed through the phrase "Hózhǫ́ naasha". To walk in beauty is to:
Develop the spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental strength to find joy and happiness.
Live a life of balance, peace, and harmony with the world.
Embrace the ideal goal of a person to live in Hózhǫ́.

Im Buddhismus ist das Verständnis von Gedanken entscheidend: Man lernt, dass Gedanken vergänglich und nicht die eigene Identität sind, was zu innerem Frieden und Freiheit führen kann. Durch Achtsamkeit (Mindfulness) wird eine Distanz zu Gedanken geschaffen, wodurch man deren wahre Natur erkennt und sich von dualistischem Denken löst, welches zu Anhaftung und Abneigung führt.
Gedanken als vergängliche Phänomene
Nicht das Selbst:
Ein zentraler buddhistischer Gedanke ist, dass man nicht seine Gedanken ist. Sie sind wie Wolken am Himmel – sie kommen und gehen, und man muss sie nicht festhalten.
Illusion der Identität:
Diese Perspektive hilft, die Illusion der persönlichen Identität zu durchbrechen und zu erkennen, dass der Verstand ständig im Wandel ist.
Achtsamkeit und die Distanz zu Gedanken
Beobachten statt Identifizieren:
Die Praxis der Achtsamkeit lehrt, Gedanken zu beobachten, anstatt sich mit ihnen zu identifizieren. Dies schafft einen Raum, in dem man die Gedanken als bloße Gedanken erkennen kann.
Befreiung:
Durch diese Distanz kann man einen emotionalen Abstand zu Gedanken gewinnen, was zu mehr Gleichmut und innerer Ruhe führt.
Der Dualismus der Gedanken
Anhaftung und Abneigung:
Wenn wir uns mit Gedanken identifizieren, neigen wir dazu, Dinge in "gut" oder "schlecht", "richtig" oder "falsch" zu kategorisieren.
Entstehung von Leiden:
Diese dualistische Denkweise führt zu Anhaftung (wenn uns etwas gefällt) und Abneigung (wenn uns etwas nicht gefällt), was die Ursache von Leid ist.
Der Weg zur Befreiung
Entscheidung für den gegenwärtigen Moment:
Der Buddha lehrte, den Geist auf den gegenwärtigen Moment zu konzentrieren, anstatt in der Vergangenheit zu schwelgen oder sich der Zukunft hinzugeben.
Kontinuierliche Praxis:
Das Verständnis der Natur von Gedanken und das Üben der Achtsamkeit sind ein Weg zu mehr innerem Frieden und spiritueller Einsicht.

(Lakota Indians)
Übersicht mit KI
The concept of the "Great Mother Earth" is a central spiritual idea for the Lakota people, who revere the Earth as Unci Maka (Grandmother Earth). This spiritual connection emphasizes a deep, interconnected relationship where humans are not separate from, but rather a part of, the natural world, receiving and honoring the Earth's sacred gifts and the life force it provides. Respect and gratitude for the Earth are demonstrated through daily ceremonies, dances, and a commitment to its protection and preservation.
Key Aspects of Unci Maka
A Living Entity:
Unci Maka is viewed as a living, nurturing entity that sustains all life, providing for everything from plants and animals to the very air and water.
Source of Life and Wisdom:
She is a source of life's power and wisdom, whose cycles and rhythms are recognized and respected.
Interconnectedness:
The Lakota believe in a profound interconnectedness, summarized by the phrase "Mitakuye Oyasin" ("All My Relations"), signifying that all beings, including humans, animals, and the Earth itself, are related.
Spiritual Connection:
A relationship of gratitude and reverence is maintained through daily practices, not just on special occasions, such as Earth Day.
Demonstrating Reverence
Ceremony and Prayer:
Daily life is seen as a continuous ceremony, with dances to the drum being a form of prayer and a way to connect to the Earth's heartbeat.
Gratitude and Respect:
Indigenous peoples, including the Lakota, express constant gratitude for the abundance Mother Earth provides, understanding that their well-being is dependent on hers.
Guardianship and Protection:
There is a strong sense of duty to act as guardians of the planet, resisting actions that would harm the Earth and defending its future.
Lakota Wisdom in Practice
Living in Harmony:
The teachings emphasize living in harmony with the Earth's powers rather than trying to control or exploit them.
Call to Action:
The concept of the "Great Mother Earth" also serves as a call to stand in solidarity with Indigenous peoples globally, who are seen as crucial in the effort to protect the shared planet from destructive forces like corporate greed.
