Fall 2013 Shamatha And The Bodhisattva Way Of Life

Alan introduces this last of four Shamata practices with concise instructions from two traditions. He then talks briefly on Tummo and Prana. Questions: - How are imprints stored in the substrate consciousness? - Where does the realisation of minor emptiness occur? - Why did Atisha use the word Alaya? - In which state can past life memory be accessed? Alan expands on these questions sharing his vision of the Alaya project, scientific process and faith and ethnocentricity in relation to belief. Meditation starts at: 10:28
