The Essence of Meditation II, Exquisite Sensation: Zen Master Hakuin & the Mindfulness of Breathing

Welcome to the second podcast episode of Padmasagara's 4-week meditation course, exploring 'The Essence of Meditation.' This week, we delve into the second line of the Zen tradition saying: "No dependence on words." What does this mean for our lives, and how does it impact us? Join us as we explore these questions, guided by mindfulness of breathing meditation and the captivating story of Zen master Hakuin's quest for healing from 'zen sickness.' As we unfold Hakuin's journey, discover how it sheds light on essential aspects of meditation for your own practice. This is week two of our 4-week course, focusing on the Zen saying: "A special transmission outside the scriptures. No dependence on words. Direct pointing to the mind. Seeing into one's own nature, realizing Buddhahood." Don't miss out – tune in and join the exploration!
