Медитация 10

[Speaker 1]
Okay, let's start with a meditation, okay? Thanks for being on time. Oh yeah, Hasso's reminding me.

Turn off your phone.

[Speaker 2]
I didn't get the $50 yesterday. You can send it to my banker.

[Speaker 1]
So, please relax your fingers. Relax your eyelids.

[Speaker 2]
Forehead.

[Speaker 1]
Pull in your stomach. Pull your hands back and put out your chest.

[Speaker 2]
Little smile.

[Speaker 1]
And come to your breath. We'll stay on the breath for 30 breaths this morning.

[Speaker 2]
Then please invite your teacher to come to this room.

[Speaker 1]
And sit in front of you. And they're happy with you, they're smiling at you. And say, let's meditate together.

Then we honor the teacher by thinking about something nice about them that we like, and we would like to be like that. Then tell them about something you did yesterday that you're not so happy about. Maybe we didn't do any big argument or any fighting.

[Speaker 2]
But maybe inside our mind we had some negative thoughts about other people.

[Speaker 1]
So, tell your lama. And tell your lama something nice you did yesterday.

[Speaker 2]
Then ask your lama to teach you. And ask your lama to stay with you.

[Speaker 1]
Now we'll start the meditation. Yesterday we did a meditation where we imagined all the things we did today. And we imagined what would happen if we died in the middle of them.

Like in the middle of eating a churro. So, this morning we'll do the similar meditation. Thinking about the plans we have for the next few weeks.

Maybe you have a plan to go somewhere. Or you have some project you would like to finish. Or you're hoping to meet someone.

So, I'd like you to think about three of those plans. Like in my case, we're going on another tour. We're going to Singapore.

And I'll think about that tour. And I have a book I would like to write. And there's some videos I would like to make.

[Speaker 2]
So, think about the plans you have for the next few weeks.

[Speaker 1]
Try to find three of them. Now imagine, just as you started that plan, you died.

[Speaker 2]
And think about the three plans this way.

[Speaker 1]
And we'll meditate for five minutes. Imagine that you die just before you start that plan, or just after you start it.

[Speaker 2]
Here we go. Then take three deep breaths.

[Speaker 1]
Then take a nice stretch. We should take a nap after each meditation.
