Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The Buddha

Chapter 12 - Craving is The Problem: What is The Solution? - (Group Learning Program) The problem that Gotama Buddha discovered about the human mind is that it is constantly in a condition of craving and desire, also described as attachment. The mind constantly craves, desires and attaches to possessions, relationships, wealth, fame, occupations, etc. A craving, desire, or attachment is “a mental longing for something with a strong eagerness”. The mind continuously and endlessly has “cravings”, “desires”, or “wants” and because we cannot ever fulfill our endless “wants” with the mind craving permanence, the mind is discontent caused by our own craving, desires, or attachments. In this Podcast, David will help you understanding "The Problem" in the mind and discuss the solution to eliminate the discontent mind. ——- 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.)

Chapter 11 - Meditation: Developing Your Practice (Part `2 of 2) - (Group Learning Program) Gotama Buddha explained that “a pot without a stand is easy to tip over”. The mind is the “pot” and your meditation practice is the “stand”. Without a stable "stand" (i.e. meditation practice) the pot (i.e. the mind) is going to constantly be "tipped over". The reason why the mind keeps experiencing discontent feelings such as sadness, anger, frustration, irritation, annoyance, guilt, shame, fears, boredom, loneliness, shyness, jealousy, resentment, stress, anxiety, etc......is because there is not a well established meditation practice....along with learning and practicing the entire Path to Enlightenment. The mind keeps getting "tipped over" experiencing discontent feelings. The mind needs a steady and consistent “stand” that you establish through the continual development of your meditation practice to train the mind. With a stable meditation practice, a Practitioner can develop mental discipline and the mind won't keep getting tipped over to experience discontent feelings. Developing a solid and consistent meditation practice that provides the mind training and development is an essential part of learning and practicing these teachings. In this Podcast, David will guide you in learning four (4) different types of meditation, four (4) different positions for meditation, how to develop a meditation practice, and how meditation will benefit you. He will discuss all the various aspects of developing your meditation practice and provide opportunities for Students to ask questions during the class. ——- 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.)
