This morning, we followed Geshe-la’s meditation from the last teaching weekend, which can be found under Supporting Materials in Learndash here:
Meditation: Selflessness & Dependent Origination – Geshe Namdak.
I will be away next week, but the Zoom sessions will be open, so anyone can share a meditation, or have a chat/discussion if they wish.
Have a good weekend!
This morning’s meditation:
4a. Meditation: Close Placement on Phenomena – Ven. Yonten
This morning’s session followed:
Episode 38: Guided Meditation – How Things Exist from “A Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment” – Scott Snibbe.
Have a good week!
We’ve just been discussing this in the meditation group. There are three of us who’ve discussed a car share to Nalanda but I’m not sure whether they’ve made a definite decision on attending yet.
(I’m probably not attending, myself, but then I wouldn’t inflict my driving on anyone else anyway!)
This morning we followed:
4th Close Placement of Mindfulness Meditation
– Ven. Yonten (again! But Ven. Yonten posts so many good short meditations!)This morning, we revisited:
The Foundation of all Good Qualities Meditation – Ven. Yonten.
Have a good week!
This morning’s meditation was:
1d. Meditation: Close Placement on the Body: The Nine Cemetery Contemplations – Ven. Yonten.
This meditation involves visualising the decay of a corpse of a person who is approximately the same age as yourself, so please bear in mind that it might be upsetting. I apologise to whoever found it difficult to listen to this morning.
Thank you, Katrin! And thanks again to Laura F. for taking charge last week and yesterday.
This morning’s meditation was 1c. Meditation: Close Placement on the Body: Reflection the Material Elements (Ven. Yonten).
Posting a link for tomorrow or one of next week’s sessions so someone else can share it.
The meditation is 30 minutes long, but the first 2 minutes are refuge and motivation setting.
Breath focus starts at 02:07 and the analysis of self begins at 07:30.Today, we followed this meditation.
Analytical Meditation on Object of Negation – Ven. Yonten.
This morning’s meditation was an analysis on whether the self is one with, or different from, the aggregates.
I suspect we know the conclusion but, you know, no spoilers…12_Meditation_The 4 Keys (a.k.a. the Four-fold Analysis) (Ven. Yonten)
Tomorrow, Laura F is in charge and we are repeating the Ven. Yonten meditation on Identifying the Object of Negation – the link is a few posts above this one. (Thanks Laura!)
Tuesday’s meditation (thanks to Laura F and Media!) was:
Weekly_Six Perfections: Perfection of Joyous Effort & Intro to Concentration – Ven. Yonten.
The meditation starts at 01:12 but we started watching at 01:08 to get an introduction.We met up at the new time this morning and followed the meditation in:
4_Identifying “The Object of Negation”_Teaching and Meditation Session_Day 2 – Ven. Yonten (meditation starts at 22:00)
CHANGE OF DAY & TIME, starting next week (March 7)
We had a discussion about changing the times of the sessions. There’ll be no change this week (so we’re still meeting at 9am on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd).
From next week, starting on Monday 7th, we’ll meet at the following times:
7:50 am – Monday
7:50 am – Tuesdayand we’ll see how it goes!
Thanks to everyone for being so understanding.
Thanks to Laura F. again for keeping things running, including this morning!
This morning, the group revisited 4_Mindfulness with a Mental Image (Shiné / Shamatha / Serenity / Calm-Abiding)
A couple of us (including me) now have difficulty with the 9am start time, including me. I thought it would be a good time to see if there is any preference/objection for keeping the current timetable of 9am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Would before Morning Prayers work, or would that be too early? Any thoughts?
