Topics covered: samadhi, definitions: samadhi, samadhi: relationship of samatha and insight, practice schedules / balancing different practices, samadhi: focus on one object or a wider open field, samadhi: qualities practice develops (refinement, patience, mindfulness, etc.), samadhi: benefits of practice, samadhi as resource, samadhi: dependent on and leading to happiness, hindrances, working with tiredness / dullness, samadhi: using the body to navigate, meditation object: focusing on one point, energy body
Teacher's note on suitability: please note that these talks are from a 4 week retreat for experienced meditators. the talks and meditations can be listened to in any order or individually, but as they progressively unfold different levels of understanding of emptiness, they will probably be more fully understood and the practices more easily developed if taken in series
