Dreaming of Reality: Sleeping, Dreaming & Dying in Tibetan Buddhism
D3S5 - False Awakenings and Dream Karma
Lama Alan · 94 minutes · recorded January 1, 2019
Thoreau on going to the woods to front only the essential facts of life, read out in full, then an unguided period, offered as half subduing thoughts breath by breath and half settling the mind in its natural state. The questions that follow take in false awakenings, one dreamer waking nine times over, and people certain they have achieved shamatha. Lama Alan Wallace gives the Buddha's answer on whether a non lucid dream accrues karma, and the experiment he wants run on where memories are held.
Death and dying Dream yoga Dreams and sleep Karma Sleep and rest The nature of mind Shamatha (calm abiding)
