Summary of discussion in this talk:
MN#20 19-Feb-06 The Removal of Distracting Thought


 
(1:35:04)
This talk was given at Joshua Tree, Ca, Feb. 2006
 
When you meditate you will have distracting thoughts. This is where the 6 r’s practice originated. When your attention on your meditation object is distracted by an unwholesome state, you must recognize it, release and let it be, relax any residual tension or tightness, re-smile and return to a wholesome object (your object of meditation) and repeat it. Let go of all tension and tightness in your body, especially in your head.
 
Discussed:
 
  • The differences between what the Buddha taught and other styles of meditation: Vipassana vs. Samatha (Jhanas)-Vipassana.
  • The relaxing step discussed in this talk is the key to successful meditation practice.
  • A basis in the Precepts, Generosity helps your meditation.
  • What is Dependent Origination? What is Nibbana?
  • Westerners need to relax and vs. their Asian counterparts.  Smile!
