Stages Of Meditation: Book Club III, Episode 6

In the sixth episode of Book Club III, Sarah Sati reads from chapters six and seven 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 six, the Dalai Lama elaborates on the concept of wisdom, how to cultivate it, and why it is so crucial for a meditator to develop.

In chapter seven, the prerequisites for calm abiding and special insight are elaborated upon.

Sarah recaps the previous session before reading and offers space for practical application through 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.
