1 hour 24 minutes

(Group Learning Program) - Chapter 11 - Meditation: Developing Your Practice

Gotama Buddha explained that “a pot without a stand is easy to tip over”. The mind is the “pot” and your meditation practice is the “stand”. Without a stable "stand" (i.e. meditation practice) the pot (i.e. the mind) is going to constantly be "tipped over".

The reason why the mind keeps experiencing discontent feelings such as sadness, anger, frustration, irritation, annoyance, guilt, shame, fears, boredom, loneliness, shyness, jealousy, resentment, stress, anxiety, etc......is because there is not a well established meditation practice....along with learning and practicing the entire Path to Enlightenment. The mind keeps getting "tipped over" experiencing discontent feelings.

The mind needs a steady and consistent “stand” that you establish through the continual development of your meditation practice to train the mind. With a stable meditation practice, a Practitioner can develop mental discipline and the mind won't keep getting tipped over to experience discontent feelings.

Developing a solid and consistent meditation practice that provides the mind training and development is an essential part of learning and practicing these teachings.

In this Podcast, David will guide you in learning four (4) different types of meditation, four (4) different positions for meditation, how to develop a meditation practice, and how meditation will benefit you. He will discuss all the various aspects of developing your meditation practice and provide opportunities for Students to ask questions during the class.
