Spring 2012 Shamatha Retreat

Relax! You've heard it, you'll hear it again. We revisit the crucial technique of letting go—of tension in the body, controlling the breath, and attachment to rumination—as we sink deeply in today's meditation to know the whole body of the breath. Q&A * Impermanence of each sensation of the breath. * "Earworm" infestations during settling the mind in its natural state. * Idiots compassion, or when imbalance occurs in the trilogy of virtue, wisdom, and the pursuit of genuine happiness. * Accumulating karma while deluded, such as while dreaming. Meditation starts at 14:34 Q&A starts at 39:50
