Stages Of Meditation: Book Club III, Episode 4

In the fourth episode of Book Club III, Sarah Sati reads from chapters three and four of the text Stages of Meditation. This book, by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, serves as a concise commentary on the text of the same name by Kamalashila. In chapter three, the Dalai Lama discusses the idea of compassion and the specificity necessary for the expression of authentic compassion to take place.

In chapter four, listeners are introduced to what this specific process is and where to begin on the path to the expression of compassion. Sarah recaps the previous session before reading and offers space for practical application through a guided meditation practice, as well as practice homework between sessions.

Book Club is an opportunity to look deeply into a spiritual text using a Western perspective. Each session includes a practice opportunity, reading, synopsis of reading, and optional practice homework.
