Медитация 19

[Speaker 2]
I know it's a long week. I know you are working very hard. I know this special team worked hard last night, and you're being very good, very tough, thank you.

[Speaker 1]
Nobody fell asleep and fell over during meditation yet. In Tibet, they have a special stick you put under your arm.

[Speaker 2]
You like that?

[Speaker 1]
Okay, let's go. Let's come straight to our breath. Let's try the breathing through the dolphin hole in the lower part of your forehead.

It helps your concentration because there's a small chakra there. We'll do thirty breaths there. Thirty breaths is good for calming down your mind.

Now we'll start another death meditation. Please think about your body, and what things you did in the last few days to take care of your body. Myself, I brushed my teeth a couple times in the last day.

I tried to find a way to comb my hair that looks okay. I washed some clothes for my body to wear. I fed my body several times.

Last night I gave the body half a donut, for example. This morning I was afraid to get my feet wet, so I wore leather shoes instead of my cloth shoes. I'm doing yoga today to try to keep my body healthy.

So, during this meditation, which is number nineteen, think about all the things you did for your body in the last few days. Maybe you bought a new shirt for your body. Maybe you found an umbrella this morning so the body wouldn't get sick.

Just think of all the things you did for your body in the last few days. After that, think about the body just after it died. So try to visualize your body is laying on the ground or laying on a bed and it's dead.

And all of that work we did to take care of this body, in that hour, it becomes meaningless. And there's nothing more you can do to take care of your body. Okay, so this meditation has two parts.

What things did you do to take care of your body in the last few days? And then visualize the body just after death. And think about how all of that work was wasted on the day you die.

I'm going to make this meditation a little bit longer. Maybe seven minutes, so you have time to do both parts of the meditation. Okay, here we go.

Three deep breaths, and with each exhale, dedicate this karma to other people.

You can come out and stretch.
