(Group Learning Program) - Guided Breathing Mindfulness Meditation and Student Questions 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 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. ——- Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The Buddha Dedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's Teachings to attain Enlightenment. https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com (See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)

(Retreat Series - Harmony in Relationships) - Practicing Non-Attachment: How to Eliminate Attachment to Those Who Are Closest to Us? Eliminating the mental longing with a strong eagerness to have our family, friends, and associates be a certain way comes with great challenges. The unEnlightened mind feels “it knows best” and “what is best” for everyone around us. But the inner struggle to get others to do as we want causes the mind to be discontent when others do not do as we want them to do. The problem is not that others do not do what we want, it is that the mind wants everyone to be a certain way attempting to convince others to do things we expect. The mind needs to be trained to “let go” no longer pushing others to be a certain way. David will share guidance that helps you understand how to actively eliminate attachments to those that are closest to us so that the mind can find peace and joy through harmony in personal and professional relationships. ——- Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The Buddha Dedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's Teachings to attain Enlightenment. https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com (See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)

It is important that Practitioners understand, while chanting can help to create mindfulness (i.e. awareness of mind), concentration, and memory, the words themselves and the sounds coming from a person’s mouth do not have any mystical, magical, or special power to attain or create Enlightenment. There are no mystical, magical, or special powers that one could use in a chant or mantra that would create benefit of doing such things as destroying unwholesome Kamma, attaining Enlightenment, transferring Merit/Kamma, achieving a long life, helping beings that have already died, improving one’s destination after death or any other beneficial result. Mantras are sometimes taught and “believed” to have mystical, magical, or special powers. This is not true and will not result in beneficial outcomes beyond training for concentration, memory, or awareness of mind. All of Gotama Buddha’s Teachings are focused on the Practitioner learning and practicing Teachings that train the mind, not invoking mystical, magical, or special powers for any sort of benefit. Gotama Buddha himself rejected these types of practices and described them as a “lowly art”. Chanting can be relaxing and a powerful practice to calm the mind while developing awareness of mind and awareness of breath through training of the mind, but not through mystical or magical powers. To attain Enlightenment, a Practitioner needs to practice the entire Eight Fold Path. It is through our practice of learning and applying The Teachings in everyday life, that we liberate the mind to attain Enlightenment. Listening to chanting or performing chanting can help to create a peaceful mind, develop mindfulness, and awareness of breath. One can use the practice of chanting to improve concentration, memory, and awareness of mind among other beneficial results to train one’s own mind. Chanting can help calm the mind, however, the Practitioner will need to do the work to sustain the mindfulness and calmness of mind long term. Chanting is just one practice that helps to develop mindfulness and the mind will need a “life practice” to cultivate a content mind with Enlightenment. A Practitioner will need to learn and practice the entire Eight Fold Path as their “life practice” to attain Enlightenment. Merely chanting or reciting a mantra for some beneficial result is not what Gotama Buddha taught as part of The Path to Enlightenment. These Teachings are 100% focused on learning and practicing Teachings that lead to liberation of the mind to eliminate discontentedness. A chant or mantra alone will not accomplish that goal and is not required to attain Enlightenment.

(Retreat Series - Harmony in Relationships) - Sharing The Path to Enlightenment: How to Guide Children Along The Path? During the lifetime of The Buddha, children were known to attain Enlightenment as young as age 7.
