格雷戈里·克雷默的练习

如此类推。这是我们新练习系列的第二集。与此同时，我对社交媒体以及更广泛的互联网产生了某种过敏反应。尽管与数字生活的关系相当严格，但我在1月中旬有了类似顿悟的感觉，意识到我以自己的方式陷入了维护我日益认为是合成真实的东西的困境。数字生活的诱惑方式并不总是那么容易识别，就像这个世界上许多潜伏的力量一样，它可以以意想不到的方式悄悄向你袭来。从长远来看，这意味着什么，谁也说不准。现在，我已经大幅减少了上网时间，花在社交媒体上的时间减少了90%，我对这个结果感到兴奋。如果你的生活中也有这样的担忧，你可能想看看杰伦·拉尼尔在社交媒体上的作品。我们这次的嘉宾是格雷戈里·克雷默，自20世纪80年代以来，他一直是内观冥想的老师，他发展了一种叫做“内观对话”的练习;一种人际冥想练习。 Gregory teaches meditation, leads retreats and has written two books on Buddhist practice. The first on Insight Dialogue, and the second released in 2020 called A Whole Life Path. Gregory was candid in his answers. There are powerful moments in this episode that arise as we venture down the path of the deeply personal nature of practice. Gregory’s work is rooted in early Buddhist traditions yet he lives a house-holder’s life. His commitment to the practising life is evident throughout. In his own words; “...my own life experience have led me to emphasize an integrated path of development, where individual and interpersonal meditation are joined with contemplation, ethical inquiry, and a commitment to kindness.” Other point of interest, Gregory’s been married for over forty years and has three sons and five grandchildren. He was once a music composer, performer and taught composition at NYU while scoring films, video and dance works. He also developed devices for the music and recording field, and was even a founding figure in the science of auditory display and data sonification.
