| Pure Meditation For thirteen hundred years, Tibetans have been practicing shamatha/vipashyana, or peaceful dwelling/insight: a profound form of meditation that illuminates and purifies the obstacles to spirirtual realization. Tibetan Buddhists today regard shamantha/vipashyana as both the fundamental and the most advanced spiritual practice of all. Pema Chodron was ordained into the Tibetan Buddhist Vajrayana tradition in 1974 and has since taught extensively techniques for the simplest, most profound practice of all - the meditation of transformation and letting go. With the vibrant clarity, humor, and insight her students have come to expect from her, Pema Chodron takes listeners step by step through the three elements of meditation - posture, breathing, and thoughts - delivering a complete, three hour training course that is ideal for beginners and a welcome refresher for more advanced practioners. As an authoritative guide to Buddhism's fundamental practice, Pure Meditation is destined to become a cornerstone of Pema Chodron's body of work. 3 Hours, 2 Cassettes | |
