In this talk, Reggie discusses the two main aspects of the practice of meditation: shamatha and vipashyana. Through shamatha, we learn to step away from our thinking. Vipashyana is a discovery of how things actually are. This meditative process is the gateway to discovering the dynamic play of relative life. 

This talk was given at the 2008 Winter Dathün retreat held at in Crestone, CO. To find out more about upcoming retreats, please visit www.dharmaocean.org
