April 24-27th 2025. First Winter, Then Spring. Teaching retreat. Todtmoos, Southern Black Forest, Germany.The retreat ocurred at the end of April when the buds were starting to open on the tree and bushes. Winter has allowed a die-back in nature so that the sap could return to the roots. This release from the tasks of growing has brought a replenishing of the core energy of each plant so that a whole new wave of extension into the environment can express the hope of Spring. However we humans keep going through the winter and if it is long and hard we are often quite drained by the time Spring comes.We focuses on relaxing and releasing so that we can open to the infinite space of the mind without distraction into our habitual agenda of ego maintenance. With the dzogchen view, meditation and activity we will open to the non-duality of space and ungraspable experience.German translation: Robert JaroslawskiAudio file of this video: https://bit.ly/4mqtgyr📱 Instagram of excerpts: / sbsangha_jameslow 🎧 Poscasts of some teachings: https://simplybeing.co.uk/news/podcasts/📆 Learn more about future events: https://simplybeing.co.uk/events/

March 19th 2025. James Low had invited questions from people watching his Zooms, which he began to answer.
Note: the constant cuts in this video result from the removal of James Low's periods of silence, while waiting for the consecutive translation from the German translator.
"(0:00) Would you give a systematic and comprehensive overview of Tibetan Buddhism, starting from the Ngöndro onto the more elaborate practices?"
"(2:33) How to be spontaneous rather than impulsive? To trust the ground rather than our ego and its habits? Is it an either/or choice?"
"(5:08) How can I be confident that my spontaneity is ethical and fitting?"
"(7:20) Is there a dream component to the practice? That is to say, can sleep time be optimized?"
"(14:44) How do Dzogchen teachings address the relationship between memory and awareness, particularly in the context of conditions like Alzheimer’s disease? As the cognitive mind deteriorates, does the connection to rigpa, our primordial awareness, remain accessible? How can practitioners or caregivers support this connection for those experiencing such decline?"
"(26:32) I’m curious about the intersection or balance between pure openness and the aiming, striving, and recalibrating of being all that one can be, as a human, for the benefit of all."
"(31:56) Will the sense of doership and identity dissolve over time if one doesn’t pay heed to them?"
"(39:30) Sometimes when I meditate, I feel free and that there is no lack and that the mind has everything it needs, and this brings a surge of joy and love. During these moments, I find that pride and feelings of envy or divisiveness become very thin. Is this a good practice to continue?"
"(45:10) With my background in the Mahayana tradition, my question is: Is it possible to practice with both approaches? Is it possible, for example, to meditate on compassion while in the same moment recognizing that this is an expression of our innate Buddha nature?"
"(49:26) Explain more about the White A practice and how it can be nonconceptual."
