0341 - TALKS: Fine Points for Meditators

Episode 0341 - Fine Points for Meditators
(Click on the above link, or here, for audio.)

 Seeking mind-states vs. seeking concentration in Buddhist vipassana meditation; insight, thought & the 8 jhanas. Practice, material desires & the purification of intention; the experience and range of motivation (curiosity, pain, freedom).

Non-conceptual self-inquiry (Sanskrit: aham-vichara), the natural progression from sustained mindfulness to insight & release.
