Смысл ОМ: ведомая медитация (1999, Нью-Йорк), занятие 1

[Говорящий 1]
Watch your breath first, okay? It'll be about an hour. Take refuge.

Think about your immediate life, the people right around you, how you see them, and how you could see them.

[Говорящий 2]
Think about bodhichitta and someone who needs temporary help, and someone who ... think about helping them in a temporary way, and then go on to helping them in an ultimate way.

[Говорящий 1]
Invite your lama. Think about some good quality of this, and mentally bow down to them. The fact that they've been preparing for you for many, many years.

[Говорящий 2]
Make them an offering, either some kind of visualized offering, or offering of what you're practicing nowadays, or what you might practice later today.

[Говорящий 1]
Do a purification. Rejoice in something good you've done, and ask for teachings. Ask your teachers this day.

If you have to move, a little move, and go to your breath again. Try to become aware of your heart, and how the beats are going on as you breathe. Now try to slow the breath down.

Now try to make the number of heartbeats in breath the same number of heartbeats on the out-breath.

[Говорящий 2]
Then try to make it more heartbeats on the intake, and more heartbeats on the out-go. So try to increase the heartbeats, and the air goes out further from your nose. When it comes back, it takes longer.

[Говорящий 1]
But still the same number of heartbeats on the out and the in.

[Говорящий 2]
Now as the breath goes in and out, then imagine that it's singing the sound OM. The text says if you listen to the sound OM on your breath, and think about the meaning of OM, then it has a lot of power. The meaning is divided into three parts.

And they represent enlightened thinking, and enlightened speaking, and enlightened action. So imagine those three. Think about those three.

And as the breath passes through your body, then imagine it's singing the sound of OM. And try to get deep into that, and don't forget the meaning of it. As you hear it, then think about it's blessing your mind to think like a Buddha, and it's blessing your speech to talk like a Buddha, and it's blessing your body to act like a Buddha.

[Говорящий 1]
We'll spend maybe ten minutes on that. Then imagine that you're sharing the breath of the Lama, and when it comes out of you, it goes into them, and the OM is still singing. And ask the Lama to melt into your heart, and then dedicate that meditation.

[Говорящий 2]
And then we'll do a short dedication. We'll do a prayer. OM OM OM OM OM
