Apologies for the late post. On Monday, we followed:
12-07-13 Taming the Mind Retreat: 7-Point Cause and Effect Instruction – Ven. Thubten Chodron.
The meditation starts at 14:02, but we listened from about 11:25 onwards.Today’s meditation (revisiting…)
Main Meditation 1: The 8 Worldly Concerns: With Awareness of Karma and Using Mahayana Mind Training – Ven. Yonten.
(The meditation runs from 00:00 to 35:17)Have a good week!
There is a lot of overlap between the homework for this month and last June, so we’re revisiting some of the meditations.
Today, we did:
Analytical Meditation on Karma Actions & Results – Ven. Yonten.
I am not going to be around much this month, so if anyone has a meditation they would like to share (or lead), then feel free to do so.
Today was a half hour review of the Eight Verses of Mind Training (thanks for finding this, Judy!)
8 Verses of Lojong – Pavana Dharma
Have a good week!
Last Tuesday, we repeated the WOSW meditation (link above).
This morning, we followed:
DB Transforming Problems Part 5B_Meditation 2: Geshe Langri Tangpa_”Offering the Victory” – Ven. Yonten.
The meditation runs from 0:00 to 20:27, and focusses on the fifth verse of the Eight Verses of Mind Training.Today’s meditation was:
DB: Transforming Problems_Part 6_Meditation 3_Impetus for “Tong-Len”_Dharmarakshita Verses_WOSW – Ven. Yonten.
This was a short tonglen meditation based on selected verses of the Wheel of Sharp Weapons. We started at 0:00 and ended at 20:37.Thanks Jared. And thank you for asking that question about the Lineage masters. I had spent all week thinking “Er… hang on…?” whenever we recited that line!
Today’s meditation took in the combined seven cause and effect and exchanging self for others method, so is as close to the homework as I could find in 30-minute form.
Afternoon Express Meditation: Tong Len – Ven Thubten Dechen
We will all be busy for the next two weeks, and I will be away without internet access, but if others want to keep the sessions going during that time, please do so.
See you next month.
Last Tuesday, we repeated the Equalizing and Exchanging Self for Others meditation (link in post above).
I haven’t been able to find a half hour meditation matching the homework (Combined Seven Cause & Effect Method and Exchanging Self for Others). This morning, we followed this meditation, which has a part about Equanimity and Equalizing Self with Others, Nine-Round Breathing, and some self-Tonglen.
This week, we repeated a Ven. Yonten meditation:
8_Refuge and Bodhichitta_Day 3 Session 2 end _Meditation on Equalizing & Exchanging Self for Others
Have a good week!
This morning’s meditation was:
Lamrim Meditation #7: Generating Bodhicitta – Ven. Tenzing Namjong – we started at about 07:20.
This meditation goes through taking refuge, the Seven Limb Prayer and the Foundation of All Good Qualities, with a pause during the latter to for you to contemplate the Seven Causes & Effect. If you want a meditation that goes through the individual causes and effect in detail, then the Ven. Yonten one a few posts above is more along those lines.
Have a lovely day.
This morning, we followed the first half of:
Main Meditation 1: The 8 Worldly Concerns: With Awareness of Karma and Using Mahayana Mind Training – Ven. Yonten.
(from 00:00 to 35:06)All the best!
Today’s meditation focussed on Tonglen – perhaps a little bit off from the meditation homework schedule but building on what we have been doing.
Guided Meditation – Exchanging Yourself for Others – Scott Snibbe (Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment)
Have a good week.
This morning’s meditation:
8_Refuge and Bodhichitta_Day 3 Session 2 end _Meditation on Equalizing & Exchanging Self for Others – Ven. Yonten.
Have a great day!
