Meditation notes

Thanks to Bhante Sujato
Let peace come to you

About the practice of meditation

  • Number one, relax
  • There’s no 'right way' to meditate
  • Whatever arises during meditation, it’s okay, let it come and let it go (the mind is chaotic and messy, it's okay)
  • Notice your thoughts and emotions, don’t judge them, let them come and let them go
  • Don’t try to solve anything during meditation

A brief history of Buddhism

A meditation (on breath) and talk by Bhante Sujato.

Meditation is a way of training the mind. It's not unique to Buddhism. There are about 40 different types of meditation in Buddhism, and a few fundamental ones (see the toolkit).

We project our experiences outwardly. History allows us to check and learn. How do we listen to who peope are from the past? When looking back at history facts are sacred! How did what the Buddha taught >2500 years ago get from there to here? The Dhamma has passed through many hands.
