Spring 2012 Shamatha Retreat

The object in this meditation is the space of the mind and whatever arises in it. If one is carried away by thoughts, release the grasping and relax. It’s a practice that is close to Vipashyana it’s similar to the close application of mindfulness of mental phenomena. Alan also answered practical questions from the students.

How to measure the progress of the Shamtha practice? Meditation starts at 12:00
