This morning’s meditation, with a focus on Medicine Buddha (thanks to Laura F for the choice!)
Express Meditation – Controlling our Thoughts Ven. Robina Courtin
Have a lovely week!
Happy new year!
Thanks to everyone who kept the sessions going last week (following Glen Svensson shamata meditations).
For a bit of change today, we followed a Tara Practice, which included a glance meditation on the Lamrim as well as the Seven Limb Prayer:
A Short Practice of Green Tara_Guided – Ven. Yonten.
… Venerable Yonten on rejoicing!
This morning, we attempted the next meditation in that series of Alan Wallace talks,
The Way of Shamatha Retreat with Alan Wallace (4/26)
The meditation runs from 00:42:20 to 01:07:05.but the recording volume is very low, so we switched to….
Apologies for the glitch that stopped people joining at the start of the session. Thanks for persevering!
Today we did (repeated?) this meditation, which is a self-Tonglen practice:
Express Meditation Ven. Katy (Tong Len Practice)
Have a lovely week!
Today, we continued with the Way of Shamata sessions:
The Way of Shamatha Retreat with Alan Wallace (3/26)
The meditation runs from 15:40 to 40:30, but we started at 14:40 to include some explanation.
Today’s meditation was about un-owned offerings:
Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, Meditation, 26/5/2020 – Chenzerig Institute
(I don’t know the name of the monk leading the meditation)Have a good week!
Today was another concentration meditation (by request). This is more of a body scan:
Vipashana meditation w. Dr. B. Alan Wallace
The meditation starts at 07:45.Have a lovely day.
Today, we did the second part of the Glen Svensson meditation we started yesterday. This section was on knowing that you are aware.
Started with the last 3 minutes of the video in yesterday’s link, then switched over to:
Glen Svensson Meditation 2 02 at HH 42 Sakya Trizin Ratna Vajra Rinpoche in Israel 2019
It is probably best not to split the two parts though, as there’s only supposed to be a minute of two of a break between them. It’s about 45 minutes in total.
Have a good week!
More Shamata this morning, with an attempt to meditate with open eyes.
Glen Svensson Meditation 2 01 at HH 42 Sakya Trizin Ratna Vajra Rinpoche in Israel 2019
As there isn’t specific meditation homework for the winter break, we’re aiming to do one Shamata meditation and one Analytical meditation each week.
Today, we followed:
The Way of Shamatha Retreat with Alan Wallace (1/26)
(“settling the body, speech and mind in their natural states.”)The meditation runs from 01:08 to 01:33.
Today, we followed:
Guided Meditation on Empathetic Joy (Rejoicing)
I don’t know the name of the person leading the meditation, but it is from Tushita Mahayana Meditation Centre in Delhi.
All the best.
Thanks to the group for keeping things running last week, while I was away.
Today, we followed:
Express Meditation Ven. Katy (Analytical Meditation)
which has some nine-round breathing, then a general contemplation of Bodhicitta based on one of the entries in the Lam Rim Year book.
Have a lovely day.
Today, we repeated this meditation on the combined method for generating Bodhicitta and Tonglen:
