Akincano Marc Weber (Switzerland) is a Buddhist teacher and psychotherapist. He learned to sit still in the early eighties as a Zen practitioner and later joined monastic life in Ajahn Chah’s tradition where he studied and practiced for 20 years in the Forest monasteries of Thailand and Europe. He has studied Pali and scriptures, holds a a degree in Buddhist psychotherapy and lives with his wife in Cologne, Germany from where he teaches Dhamma and meditation internationally.
Teaching is essentially translation. It means ferrying an authentic contemplative tradition across choppy waters into our psychological and cultural realities, losing neither the vision nor the truth of what we know to be our immediate experience.
Luang Poo Doon's reframing of the 4 Noble Truths:
"The mind that goes out in order to satisfy its moods is the Cause of Suffering (samudaya).
The result that comes from the mind going out in order to satisfy its moods is Suffering (dukkha).
The mind seeing the mind clearly is the Path leading to Cessation of Suffering (magga).
The result of the mind seeing the mind clearly is the Cessation of Suffering (nirodha).
