Today, we jumped forward in the Ven. Yonten series on the 4 Close Placements, into the Mindfulness of Feeling:

After the fairly heavy subject matter yesterday, today’s was intended to be a bit more cheery (before we go back to death next Monday…)

This is quite a short one (18 minutes), and fairly easy going!

This morning’s meditation was an exploration of the mind:
Taste of Buddhism – “What is Mind”? (with guided meditation) – Scott Snibbe.
The meditation starts at 31:28 and is about 23 minutes long.Have a lovely week!
Just a short one this morning. Glen Svensson on loving kindness – it’s a preliminary meditation before starting on chapter 9.
A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way – Chapter 9 – Glen Svensson
Just to clear up a question I had at lunchtime – According to publishers’ website, “Practicing Wisdom” is based on a lecture His Holiness gave in France 1993, but “Perfecting Wisdom” is based on a lecture His Holiness gave in Switzerland in 1979. So they are different books! (But hopefully not too different in substance).
I forgot to mention this in the last post – yesterday’s meditation on dependent arising concentrated on causes and conditions.
Today’s meditation concentrated on mere imputation by the mind and is based on extracts from “How Things Exist” by Lama Zopa Rinpoche:
14_C2_April 28_Class and Meditation: Avoiding Extremes_Tenets and Dependent Arising – Ven. Yonten.
The meditation starts at 20:45 and continues to 48:58.
