Breath and Dispassion | Guided Buddhist Meditation | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhammagiri | Ananpanasati Viraganupassi

Listen Later

In this Guided Meditation, Ajahn Dhammasiha leads us to contemplate the forth foundation of mindfulness (4th Satipaṭṭhāna) in breath meditation (ānāpāṇasati):

  1. We breathe in and out contemplating & observing impermanence (anicca) not sure, not certain, unreliable
  2. We breathe in and out contemplating 'fading away' (virāga): both the fading away of external objects like sounds and thoughts, and also the fading away of desire, aversion, fear, liking and disliking, attachment - i.e. dispassion
  3. We breathe in and out contemplating ending, cessation (nirodha): both the cessation of external objects like sounds and thoughts, and also the ending desire, aversion, fear, liking and disliking, attachment
  4. We breathe in and out contemplating letting go (paṭinissagga)


    5. Very important:

    We do not contemplate the impermanence, ending and fading away of the breath. The breath is the anchor of our meditation, we can't let go of it.

    Instead, we contemplate the impermanence, fading away and cessation of all the thoughts, images, memories, phantasies, worries, desires and aversions that constantly arise in our mind and distract us from the breath. Even if we can't let go of them yet, let's just imagine how they are fading away.


    After the bell, it not quite over yet, as Ajahn adds some comments on using the same contemplations we used with the breath for our walking meditation.
