Last Saturday (June 19th 2010) I gave a talk at the Vivekavana Buddhist Society on the subject What is Meditation? attempting to give people a broader perspective on meditation and how they can make it work for them in their own lives.
The talk was translated into Mandarin as we went along but I have edited those sections out and it flows along quite seamlessly. Be warned that the quality of the recording is fairly poor, but I feel that the content is quite useful, so I publish it here.
Wonderful teaching practical in the best sense of the word and full of illuminating insights.
Very helpful tips on how to make meditation part of our daily practice and not just by sitting on a cushion. Appreciate distinction made that sitting practice is a technique only (method ) and how we should make the effort to live and breathe meditation as part of life itself .Ways to undertake this practice by use of insight , brahmaviharas and samatha into our daily mental cultivation and how this mind training can be undertaken by seeing positive qualities in ourselves and others. Thank you Bhante more talks please , much metta . _/\_anjali
