Медитация 7, часть 2

[Говорящий 1] (0:02 - 0:11)
Okay, let's do some meditation. I don't know if you noticed, but we're up to 10 or 15 minutes of high quality, and you didn't notice that the time increased, okay?

[Говорящий 2] (0:24 - 1:47)
Watch your breath. There's nothing in the world except your breath. Come to the golden room.

[Говорящий 1] (2:26 - 2:36)
Try to jump to that enjoyment of the color of the room in you, the feeling, the warm feeling in the color of the room. If you have enjoyment, you won't be distracted.

[Говорящий 2] (2:37 - 6:01)
You won't feel dull. Look out the window at the sky, blue sky. Expand some blue sky.

Look at the mountains, the valley. Then come back to the golden room and ask your teacher to please sit in front of you.

[Говорящий 1] (6:11 - 6:17)
Feel their eyes on your eyes. And feel the love between you in the gaze.

[Говорящий 2] (6:20 - 6:21)
Stay on their eyes.

[Говорящий 1] (6:47 - 7:07)
Try to get in touch with your sheshan. Try to get in touch with the corner of your mind, which is watching whether the scene is getting dull, or whether you're thinking about lunch, or even subtle agitation, which means the feeling of being about to think about lunch.

[Говорящий 2] (7:55 - 8:15)
Try to get in touch with your sheshan. Sheshan is just detecting whether something's going wrong.

[Говорящий 1] (8:43 - 9:35)
Try not to observe the difference between sheshan and dharma, your watchfulness, which is detecting that something has gone wrong. And then your jemba, or the capacity to pull yourself back to the object. Try to actually observe those two working in your own mind.

The detecting that the mind has left the object, and then the conscious effort to bring the mind back to the object. See if you can distinguish between those two states of mind within your own mind. They are almost instantaneous.

It takes a lot of observation to locate them, to observe them.

[Говорящий 2] (10:40 - 10:57)
Now see if you can isolate the mental state of mind. See if you can isolate a sense of contentment or enjoyment on the object. Get to know these three friends.

[Говорящий 1] (10:58 - 11:08)
Watchfulness, pulling the mind back, and a deep sense of contentment that would allow you to just stay there.

[Говорящий 2] (11:56 - 12:01)
Okay, good job. Feels really good. Come back to this room and relax.

[Говорящий 1] (12:04 - 15:14)
It feels really really good in the room. Like I haven't had a room like that for many years, I think. I think you're doing really well, so keep it up, okay?

I think the silence helps, but I think you're I think you're getting into this groove of being able to observe your own mind, the subtle moving of your own mind, you know, while you're in meditation. In meditation, it's this thing of a lot of people never observe their own mind during meditation, and then you want to get to where you can isolate those three guys. Oh, there went my sheshan, you know, my watchfulness just went off.

And then, oh, I think the denpa is the fastest one, hopefully. But it just the sheshan says, oh, we're off the object, and then suddenly you're on the object. So try to catch the interim.

Try to catch the mind going between the two, detecting that the mind is off and coming back, because it's so fast coming back that you can miss it. So try to detect the part of the mind that detects that you're off. Try to detect the part of the mind that pulls you back.

And then I think it's a pleasure to to isolate the feeling of contentment or satisfaction. And I really encourage you to work on that one, okay? Because that's nara, right?

That brings intensity on the object. And it's so easy. It's such a pleasant place to be.

And then it cuts through the struggles not to be dull or agitated. It just cuts through them like there's no struggle. With dullness and agitation.

You don't start feeling sleepy and you don't start thinking about lunch because you're just having a good time where you are. So try to get in touch with the good time where you are state of mind. And then I think your meditation will get really powerful.

And I think you've seen or you've felt when you get home it'll be better to start with tiny little meditations, five, five, six, seven minutes. And then slowly with the nara it will just get longer without struggle, you know? You won't have to say, oh I I have to stay for 23 minutes today or something like that.

You will you will come out of it and the clock will be over there and you're like you know, you think you're seeing it wrong. And like half hour has passed and you weren't aware of anything. It should be like that.

It shouldn't be that you get home and you say I'm gonna be a great meditator. I'm gonna start with an hour. And then you're just struggling and your knees are hurting and you're thinking about a thousand different things and you're not happy at all.

And you feel obligatory. You feel like, oh Lama's told me I had to meditate. I have to do it.

It's not very fun, you know, like that. Okay, do it this way, small periods. Go straight to the nara.

Which means pick an object at the beginning that you like, okay, that you would like to hang out. Okay.
