The Dharma of Meditation

In these three profound retreat talks on the nature of meditation, Adyashanti offers vital teachings that can benefit your meditation practice, whether you are just beginning or have years of experience.

In the first talk, he sheds light on the primal resistance and fundamental separation that most meditators unconsciously bring to their meditation. He encourages the kind of discovering curiosity, beyond all techniques, that allows for true meditation to happen.

In the second talk, Adyashanti helps unravel the addictive mental patterns that obscure true reality. He points to the nature of pure awareness that, when fully accessed, gives you the capacity to see through and cleanse these conditioned patterns.

In the third and perhaps most powerful of the talks, Adyashanti invites you to completely let go of all meditation reference points and directly experience the depth and power of the unknown.

Topics Include:

• Meditation Is a Discovery Process
• The Primal Resistance
• Letting Meditation Happen
• How Heart Wisdom Comes
• Seeing Addictive Mental Patterns
• Meditation Beyond Technique
• Awareness as a Self-Cleaning System
• Diving into the Depths of the Unknown

Quotes from this Download Set:

"Even effort to meditate well is resistance."

"Meditation is something we discover - it comes to us; it's not something created."

"Stop the analyzing, stop the trying to figure it out - that's more primal resistance."

“Part of meditation is finding a reference in ourselves that’s not a state of reaction.”

"There is a quietness already there before you try to be quiet."

"The more clearly you see, the more your patterns become less powerful."
