In the second part of this talk on container principle, Reggie offers pith meditation instruction: let the form hold experience. Using the example of ballet dancers doing plies, he says that fidelity to form in meditation practice allows us to discover true freedom.  

This talk was given in 2016 at the November Meditating with the Body retreat held at Buckfast Abbey in Devon, England. To register for the upcoming Winter Meditation Intensive, please visit www.dharmaocean.org

Episode 273: For the Welfare of All – Part I

In the second part of this talk on the training of a Bodhisattva, Reggie discusses the last five of the six paramitas: discipline, patience, exertion, meditation, and wisdom. Through examples, he shows how the truth of each paramita is not necessarily what we might think.

This talk was given at the 2003 Winter Dathün retreat held in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. To explore more of Reggie's teachings and guided meditations, please visit www.dharmaocean.org
