Guided Meditation with Michael Taft
One hour guided meditation, followed by a dharma talk and Q&A.
In all of the meditations from Michael (labeled “nondual”) there may be a structure behind what we’re doing. First there may be the concentration/rest section, called “shamatha with an object.” Then we move into shamatha without an object, which Michael also calls “Dropping the Ball.” After that, there are various different moves or practices we are able to do, and sometimes do in these guided meditation videos.
On this video, we go to the subsequent stage, which is nondual vipashyana. is the Sanskrit word which is cognate to the Pali word most individuals are conversant in, (i.e. “mindfulness.”). Each of those words mean “investigation” or “insight.” Michael uses the Sanskrit to emphasise the spacious, nondual approach to insight, versus the more dualistic . On this video, he teaches you the right way to do nondual vipashyana. Vipashyana is the strategy uses in Vajrayana and Dzogchen practice.
