Join us for the New Year at Dharma Treasure! Our next Teacher Training course enrolling now for February, 2019 https://t.co/7tORtY4Oa3

Although we present the stages as linear, the practice doesn’t unfold that way. You’ll frequently find yourself navigating several stages at the same time, moving back and forth between them over weeks, days, or even over a single session. #meditation #Mindfulness #awakening

Meditation is a science, the systematic process of training the mind. It is the science of meditation that allows people from all walks of life to experience the same amazing benefits. #mindfulness #meditate #Awakening

[jty @Culadasa]

This is the first stage of awakening. And with every level of understanding comes a realization of how much vastly yet there is to understand #love #compassion #truth #enlightenment #mindfullness #mindilluminated

[jty @Culadasa]

The relief and liberation is absolutely incredible! And as for suffering you see that it is something I may still do to myself, it’s always been me doing it to myself. Now that I know these things I’ll never do it for as long or as often again #insight #awakening #dharma

When you see that everything that is, is interconnectedness and that interconnectedness is the ultimate solution to the problem of being a separate self #insight #awakening #buddha #meditate #dharmatreasure

[jty @Culadasa]

When you have insight the entity that you’ve labeled self is only a constantly changing process with a much larger process within a much larger process which is ultimately the process of ultimate reality #insight #awakening #buddha #meditate #dharmatreasure

[jty @Culadasa]

When you have insight that the self you’ve perceived is as empty as any other perception you’ve ever had #insight #awakening #buddha #meditate #dharmatreasure

If we understand well enough how our mind works and why our mind generates dukkha then we might be able to change what our mind does. #dukkha #meditate #truth #compassion #awakening #enlightenment

[jty @Culadasa]

Dukkha is often translated as suffering. (It is more correct to describe it as unsatisfactoriness.) The mind multiplies physical dukkha. Pain is inevitable yet suffering is optional. #meditate #awakening #truth #enlightenment #truth #buddha #empathy #love #compassion #dharma

Deep meditation trains your mind so that you can see how this process takes place that’s building up a meaningful perception from many discrete bits of information arriving from different senses, stored information, past experience even from emotion and intellectual information.

[jty @Culadasa]

Your mind is taking in basic information & combining it so when it gets to consciousness it has been highly processed & conceptualized. #emptiness #impermanence

@djinoz Please explain “dry patches”

[jty @Culadasa]

Using terms like “achieve, attain, mastery” feeds the inclination that we are the “doer” responsible for producing results through effort and will. There is no situation in which this view is more inappropriate than the practice of meditation. #dharmatreasure #meditate #mindful

[jty @Culadasa]

An end goal: insight into the true nature of reality. To get beyond all the illusions by which we see and interpret things such as I am a separate self who exercises free will and when I react it’s who I am.

It's common to separate meditation practice from the rest of one's life. If all of the skills acquired from meditation are not continued throughout the day, it's like trying to fill a bathtub without putting the plug in place and then walking away. #insight #meditation #Dharma
