Tashi delek! I enjoyed the first video in the shamatha series very much. I am impressed, Rinpoche, that you described the meditation as experiencing the true nature of consciousness, the mind, without any attitudes or hopes or fears, the mind that is fresh and clear, that may be called Clarity. This is a teaching and practice that I treasure. My question is about meditation focused on an object versus objectless meditation. It seems to me that you taught us objectless meditation, experiencing the pure and fresh and clear quality of the mind or consciousness, not focused on any particular object. Rinpoche, do you have any comment on meditation focused on an object (such as an image of the Buddha, or a flower) versus objectless meditation? Thank you! - David (Dawa'i Nyingpo)
Hello David, glad that you like the video. I beleive that you are referring to the first session. Here I was talking about the view behind meditation. What is it, and how does it function! Although objectless meditation is where we should reach at some point, but I would like to stick with meditation with an object here. Starting with a simple sitting meditation. Ofcourse, one could practice shamatha with an image of a Buddha or a flower as mentioned in many other practice manuals. I will talk a bit about other ways of meditation in the final video. Since this is only a week long practice program we want to be brief and focused on sitting. Thank you. Dotulku.
Hello Rinpoche! Thank you again so much for these teachings! I practiced with all seven and it has been a real benefit to me. I appreciate the answers you gave to our questions, also. Thank you to Rebecca , as well, for all you have done. And in particular, thank you for deciding to have these teachings remain posted, because I plan to recommend for some of my friends to visit. Tashi delek! - David
