eB104 - A Spontaneous World

EveryBodhi Podcast ·

2021/01/19

In this episode Jampal Norbu leads a guided meditation to explore the nature of mind as we contemplate the third verse of the Lojong text, ‘Examine the nature of unborn awareness.’ All buddhist meditation is based on self reflection and awareness of one's own mind. Through that awareness, buddhist teachings progress from abstract ideas to direct experience. Through the direct experience of the nature of mind our confidence and understanding of the Lojong teachings also progress.
