Guided Meditation and Student Questions at Wat Tung Yu

Dates: Each Wednesday (Calendar View)
Price: No Cost - Donations are accepted but not expected nor required
Location: Wat Tung Yu (Chiang Mai, Thailand) and Online
(You will find us in our classroom in the large yellow building. MAP)We rotate each week between Breathing Mindfulness Meditation and Loving-kindness Meditation.
Breathing Mindfulness Meditation
Breathing Mindfulness Meditation was the primary form of meditation employed by The Buddha to attain Enlightenment. There are many aspects of The Path to Enlightenment that one would need to learn and practice with guidance from a Teacher, however, Breathing Mindfulness Meditation should be among the top priorities for any Practitioner aspiring to attain Enlightenment.The goal of Breathing Mindfulness Meditation is to develop “Right Mindfulness”, “Right Concentration”, and to eliminate the unwholesome root of craving/desire/attachment.
All discontentedness is caused by craving/desire/attachment so it is important to train the mind to not have craving/desire/attachment as part of "Developing Your Life Practice”.
In this LIVE Stream and Interactive Learning Session, David will guide you in a Breathing Mindfulness Meditation session and will accept questions from Students to help you develop your meditation practice and progress forward on The Path to Enlightenment.
Join us to learn and develop your practice…
Loving-kindness Meditation
Loving-kindness Meditation was the second most primary form of meditation employed by The Buddha to attain Enlightenment. There are many aspects of The Path to Enlightenment that one would need to learn and practice with guidance from a Teacher, however, Loving-kindness Meditation should be among the top priorities for any Practitioner aspiring to attain Enlightenment.The goal of Loving-kindness Meditation is to eliminate anger, hatred, ill will, resentment, negative self talk, and other discontent feelings associated with the unEnlightened mind.
In this LIVE Stream and Interactive Learning Session, David will guide you in a Loving-kindness Meditation session and will accept questions from Students to help you develop your meditation practice and progress forward on The Path to Enlightenment.
