Spring 2012 Shamatha Retreat

With awareness of awareness, the body and speech are settled normally while the mind is given a complete reboot: all concerns are released, attention from all phenomenon is revoked, then that which remains will dawn. We're given the metaphors of the sailor's raven and the dueling swordsman. Then the three types of knowledge and their relationship to the qualities of the substrate consciousness and the method of resting in non conceptuality with knowing. Meditation starts at 21:05 - 46:05 Q&A * When sensations at the belly are subtle. * Why Tibetans don't give forgiveness; how to deal with resentment.
