D2S1 - The Complete Instruction for Shamatha
Lama Alan · 121 minutes · recorded January 1, 2021
The second day opens with a short settling of body, speech and mind, then Lama Alan Wallace takes up the root text's shamatha instruction, directing the spear of entwined vital energies and awareness at the red HUM in the heart, though resting unfabricated and undistracted is enough by itself. He gives the antidotes for laxity and excitation, agitation met by relaxing deeply rather than yanking the leash. In the closing practice we intensify awareness of awareness on the in-breath, releasing into space on the out-breath.
