BokJinpa 2

This course is about how to see emptiness directly and presents the highest view of ultimate reality in the Buddhist system (Madhyamika Prasangika).

The teachings and readings are from two great books on meditation: Bhavana Krama by Master Kamilashila (750AD) and The King of Concentration Sutra by Lord Buddha (500 BC) as commented on by Je Tsongkapa, founder of the lineage of the Dalai Lama.

Nine Stages of Meditation
Nine Stages in Detail

Your daily meditation journals:

Meditate for 30 minutes total. 15 minutes on each meditation. Each meditation each day.
Write down:

1. Topic.
2. The meditation time and session length.
3. What % did you feel you were on the object or note how many times your mind left the object.
4. The quality of your mind during meditation. (For example: Great intensity. Scattered. The meditation object appeared dull).
5. Something you learned. Simple or profound realization. Short, so you are more likely to do it.
6. Resolution about what to do next time you meditate.

Write after you have finished your session so its fresh, and of course, not during!
