0:45

here's our teacher to share

0:47

more. Hello

0:55

and welcome to daily wisdom, walking the path

0:57

with the Buddha. Today is our group learning program

0:59

and I'll be guiding you in a breathing

1:01

mindfulness meditation session. I'm going to start with some

1:03

chanting. Then I'm going to come in with

1:05

some guidance to guide you in the meditation. There's

1:07

going to be a period of time where

1:09

it's just quiet. And then we're going to come

1:11

out of the meditation with some more chanting.

1:13

And then I'm going to start today's class by

1:15

just opening up to any and all questions

1:18

that you guys have, whether it's in Facebook, YouTube

1:20

or Zoom. If you have questions related to

1:22

the path to enlightenment or your journey on the

1:24

path to enlightenment you're welcome to ask any and

1:26

all questions that you like when we get

1:28

to our question period. If you'd like to join

1:30

for meditation you might pull up a meditation

1:32

cushion or a sofa chair whatever it is that

1:34

you like to meditate either seated lying standing

1:37

those usually work really well for online learning. There

1:39

is a walking position but we don't tend

1:41

to do that with the online learning much because

1:43

stationary cameras aren't able to really capture the

1:45

walking meditation but that is something you can learn

1:47

and that will be beneficial for you. So

1:49

if you'd like to join for meditation and or

1:51

you'd to join for the chanting you're more

1:53

than welcome to do that after we get in

1:56

the chanting as I mentioned I'll give you

1:58

guys some guidance once we're in the meditation so

2:00

thank you all for joining and you're welcome to

2:02

join for the meditation if you'd like Arahansama

4:50

with a lower body and hands and arms

the upper body erect. Just

4:59

close the eyes and

5:02

start breathing in through

5:04

the nose and out

5:06

through the nose. Here

5:11

you're just looking to establish the

5:13

breath. A

5:15

nice, natural, steady,

5:17

consistent breath. Not

5:20

forced or

5:22

controlled. Just a

5:24

gradual inhale through the nose.

5:28

Experiencing the full breath.

5:31

And then whenever you're ready,

5:34

exhale out through the

5:36

nose. Breathing

5:40

in. And

5:45

out. Breathing

5:51

in. End

5:57

out. Your

6:02

breath may not match up with the

6:04

guidance that I'm providing, and

6:06

that's okay. This is

6:08

your practice. I'm just

6:10

here for guidance. You

6:13

can use this voice as

6:15

a reminder that whenever you

6:17

get to the next inhale,

6:20

breathing gradually through the nose.

6:23

developing a nice

6:25

natural steady consistent

6:27

breath and then

6:29

whenever you're ready

6:32

exhale out through

6:34

the nose

6:36

experiencing the

6:38

full breath

6:40

breathing in

6:44

and out

6:47

breathing

6:51

in With

7:04

the breath well established

7:06

start fixating the mind on

7:08

the breath Either the

7:10

sound of the breath coming

7:12

into the nose or

7:15

the sensation of air moving

7:17

over the skin into

7:19

the nose The breath is

7:21

the present moment Fixate

7:24

the mind on the breath

7:26

the present moment Breathing

7:30

in End

7:36

out. Breathing

7:42

in. End

7:48

out. With

7:54

the mind fixated on the breath,

7:57

whenever you notice that it moves off

7:59

the breath, cut that off,

8:01

let it go and come

8:03

back to the breath. the present

8:05

moment. No need

8:07

to observe the thought, label

8:10

it, judge it, analyze

8:12

it, or even try to figure

8:14

out where it's coming from. Whenever

8:17

you notice that the mind is

8:19

moved off the breath, cut

8:21

that off, let it go, and

8:24

come back to the breath, the

8:26

present moment. Breathing

8:30

in. End

8:36

out. Breathing

8:41

in. End

8:48

out. I'm

8:54

going to be quiet now and

8:56

let you do this work

8:58

of focusing on the breath, cutting

9:00

off and letting go any

9:02

time the mind moves off the

9:04

breath. You

9:07

have nowhere to go. There's

9:11

nothing to do.

9:15

No one needs you

9:17

right now. This

9:19

is your time

9:21

to focus on the

9:23

breath. Breathing

in

Okay, if you guys would like to slowly make

30:54

your way out of meditation Once

30:58

again, welcome to all of you guys. Nice

31:00

to see everyone in class today. Whether you're

31:02

joining us on Facebook, YouTube, or in Zoom,

31:04

welcome to everyone. What I typically

31:06

do on Wednesdays is I guide you

31:08

guys in a meditation session, and

31:10

then I just open up to any

31:12

and all questions that you guys

31:14

might have related to the path to

31:16

enlightenment. If you have questions about

31:18

meditation or any aspect of the Eightfold

31:20

Path, the Five Precepts, the 10

31:22

fetters, any aspect of your own personal

31:24

challenges and struggles that you might

31:26

be experiencing, you're more than welcome to ask

31:28

any and all questions that you like. If

31:31

you're in Facebook, YouTube or Zoom, you can put

31:33

those into the comments section. I'll see those.

31:35

Or if you're in Zoom, you can electronically raise

31:37

your hand and then unmute your microphone and

31:39

you'll be able to ask any and all questions

31:41

that you like. So does anybody have any

31:43

questions? Okay.

31:47

not seeing any questions anywhere.

31:50

So what I'll do then is just end by

31:52

thanking all of you guys for dedicating some

31:54

time to understand the teachings of the Buddha and

31:56

doing some meditation. This is really helpful

31:58

for you as you make your way to enlightenment.

32:00

It's the very best thing you could

32:02

ever do experiencing peace and joy permanently

32:04

not causing harm to the people around

32:06

you. This is outstanding for your life

32:08

and you'll have such an utter peace

32:10

that you didn't even think was possible. So

32:13

thank you for your dedication to doing

32:15

this inner work and growing and developing. This

32:17

Sunday in our group learning program I'm

32:19

going to be in chapter 23. This

32:21

is titled Symbolism of the Teachings, Reminders

32:23

Through Imagery. This is where I'm going to

32:25

share with you the various symbols that

32:27

were used during the lifetime of the Buddha

32:30

and that are still in use today.

32:32

for you to understand the teachings because

32:34

when you visit temples or you see

32:36

artwork or architecture, this can

32:38

remind you of the teachings if you understand

32:40

what the symbols represent. So when you're going

32:42

about looking at different temples and artwork, it

32:44

can help you to kind of solidify the

32:46

teachings in the mind. And then on next

32:48

Wednesday, I'm going to be doing loving kindness

32:50

meditation with students. So thank you again, whatever

32:52

you do for the rest of your day.

32:54

Have a very wonderful and lovely rest of

32:56

your day. Perhaps we'll see you next time

32:58

in a future class. Be well and take

33:00

care. Sawadee kham. Thank

33:04
