Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Introduction to Mahamudra with Lama Gursam Rinpoche
Q: Could you speak to that, what we do in relation to that?
Rinpoche explains that when meditating, one should imagine their body as a stable mountain and simply observe the space without judging or following thoughts, much like how clouds come and go.
Wisdom of the Three Higher Trainings
Q: What do we do with doubt when it enters into our contemplation?
In Vajrayana practice, doubt should be cleared out immediately, while in Mahayana practice, doubt can lead to deeper inquiry.
Wisdom of the Three Higher Trainings
Q: Where shall our gaze be while we are meditating?
It depends on the type of meditation; generally, a semi-open gaze is recommended to avoid distraction.
Wisdom of the Three Higher Trainings
Q: How much time should one spend meditating in a day?
As a new meditator, it's recommended to start with at least 15 minutes a day and gradually increase as comfort grows.
Lama Gursam on the Two Truths
Q: How do different schools of thought understand relative truth?
Each school has its own realization of truth and reality; some emphasize a singular perspective while others acknowledge multiple truthful perceptions that can coexist.
