Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mantra Meditation
Q: I have been intimidated to start visualization practice because I don't have a mind's eye. My plan was basically to have the aid in front of me, and just use that and not really use my mind's eye.
Dwinnell says using a picture is a valid support and suggests seeing whether the image can be maintained with the eyes closed.
Mantra Meditation
Q: Where can we find mantras?
Dwinnell recommends checking Columbus KTC's website, Kagyu.org and Lama Kathy's website, while noting that some practices may be shared through transmission. He also identifies “Om Mani Padme Hum” as the essence of Chenrezig practice.
From Suffering to Awakening – The Upanisā Sutta
Q: I encountered a teacher saying that when anger comes up, the first thing he says to himself is, “I agree.” I've tried it, and it changes everything. I was curious to hear your reaction to that, as far as how it relates to the guidance you gave us today.
Weinberg says the technique helps a person look directly at a feeling instead of reacting to it or building a case around it. That pause makes it easier to see the feeling as temporary and let it pass.
The Reason Bodhichitta is the Heart Practice of Buddhism
Q: Is there a reason why we start thinking about the breathing out, and then breathing in? Is it because of the positivity of it?
Jackson says the order is flexible. She personally breathes in first so she can then send out a remedy, while the light and smoke visualizations are optional.
The Reason Bodhichitta is the Heart Practice of Buddhism
Q: Would you recommend keeping focus on one person at a time, and being able to take in the suffering of one person at a time, just to concentrate?
Jackson says it depends on the person: some may focus on one individual, while others may include a family or several relatives. She also says people can practice for themselves if focusing on others feels impossible.
