Why does Buddha define complaining, birth, sorrow, etc. with the term “suffer”? You could say that these terms lead to suffering. Actually, they are not suffering per se. But Buddha defined it as above. Why? This is one of the questions Ajahn Michael has long asked himself. Through long research in neurology, psychotherapy and psychopathology, he has found tools to exactly understand this. He shares his interesting discoveries with us in this interview. Especially the discovery that Buddha’s teachings are congruent with the aforementioned sciences.
This interview is a continuation of the first interview with Ajahn Michael. But it stands for its own and can therefore be watched independently.

Episode 7/21: The Wisdom Workshop Interview with Ute Marke “The Mad Mom Cycling”
“We are one human race. We all have the same aspirations and dreams … we all have the same hopes … and we all go through the same things. We should stop limiting ourselves to religion, gender, or to national aspects. This is just rubbish in my sense … I just consider myself to be part of the human race. I bow my head towards India, because India allows me to be the way I am” – Ute Marke
Ute Marke whose nick name is “The Mad Mom Cycling”, is a certified economist with sound experience in Telecommunication sector with strong focus on human centered digitalization. Now a days she supports young businesses within the green economy with strategic advice and consultancy. She has enabled life enhancing social projects in Africa and India
Where does her passion for India come from? What has this country given her? What relationship does she have with spirituality and how does she see herself and others see her? And of course we speak about Leadership and Change, resilience and sustainable future. What can German companies learn from India?

I talk about consciousness, passion and relationships with consciousness mentor Christian Ahl, who has lived experience as a leader for years as a CEO in the industrial world. These attributes (and others) define the life of a leader. “Whenever I interact with someone, I change the relationship,” Christian says. Most problems in companies arise on a human, not a technical level. “At what point do I see development happening in my life?” That’s what we need to bring into our awareness, because development runs through like a thread. We also talk about school system, language and much more and what impact it has on our societies. We agree that there can and should be a coexistence of types and stages of development.
Listen in to this multifaceted conversation.

“Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.” (Sheryl Sandberg, COO Facebook)
Carolin Hambrügge is a self-employed partner of GPS – Global Procurement Sevice in Germany. In this episode we speak about her experiences in doing business in India and we are also focusing on the aspect “Doing business in India as a woman” since the image of the huge country is rather negative in this aspect.
Enjoy the conversation and Carolin’s professional view as well as her long and deep experience in the Indo-German Business relationships.

Meditation is not about trying to get somewhere. It’s about allowing ourselves to be exactly where we are, and to be exactly who we are, and to allow the world to be exactly who it is in this moment. – Jon Kabat-Zinn –
Metta is a word from the ancient Indian Pali language spoken at the time of the historical Buddha.
It means loving kindness, warmth of heart, benevolence, in a narrower sense it is derived from the words “kindness” and “gentleness.”
Ajahn Michal prefers not to translate it, but to call it just metta.
What this has to do with us as human beings and at the same time with politics and economy, you will learn in this interview, which in my opinion again has a wonderful depth and can show some new perspectives.
Have fun listening!
