Meditation, Stability, Clarity: Experiencing the Liberating Power of Full Attention
D2S3 - Settling the Mind in Its Natural State
Lama Alan · 154 minutes · recorded June 5, 2025
We shift from the breath to the space of the mind, generating a thought or image and watching it dissolve, to grow familiar with observing whatever arises without being pulled in. Lama Alan credits Dudjom Lingpa's gentler approach, taking the mind as the path rather than forcing it onto an object, and the group explores whether thoughts can truly be observed, and why awareness of an impulse before it becomes action is what makes choice possible.
