Module 5: Foundations of Buddhist Meditation II: Vipashyana and the Four Applications of Mindfulness · The Buddha’s Path

Session 4 - Mindfulness of Phenomena

David Oromith · 77 minutes · recorded November 24, 2024

In the guided meditation of open presence, eyes fully open to all six senses, we then watch one appearance cause another, a sound giving rise to an image, a feeling, a thought, while searching within it all for a findable self. David explains dependent origination through a candle lighting a whole room and the froth on a boiling pot, and why the self is unfindable without being non-existent. Questions cover why 'I' feels large in anger but faint in joy, and sensations clamouring for attention.
