  • Beautiful logo and quality content

    A useful addition to the world of Buddhist podcasts. Here we get not only the voice of a sincere, ordained monastic (harder to come by percentage-wise than more common lay teachings) but also a younger, yet still mature voice. Thanks for this podcast channel. Keep the talks coming!

Maintaining bodily awareness helps, noticing sensations each time you transition from meditation back into daily life and keeping part of your attention on meditation subjects throughout the day.

Q: Can you give more guidelines about addressing sloth and torture, the hindrance?
