Introduction to Meditation - Session #11 Thinking
Welcome to session #11 of our thirty (30) session introduction to meditation course.
Last session we explored how our minds naturally wander and roam about. It’s completely normal. Our practice when meditating, is simply to become aware of our mind’s tendency to wander. First we notice it has wandered, smile to ourselves and feel good we noticed, take a moment to note where it went and then gently return our awareness to the sensations of breath and simply begin again.
In this session we continue our exploration of Insight Meditation. A few sessions back we practiced how pop-out of a thought bubble when we noticed our mind had wandered. Knowing what our thoughts are comprised of, for examp...

Learning to recognize our thoughts and not become triggered and or swept away by them. To instead simply observe, without judging or criticizing, nor acting upon them. Today we begin our Insight Module. Insight ...

Excellent! Such a clear, concise explanation as well as a deep meditative experience.
Thank you ❤🙏🏻
You encapsulate the universality of the many skilful means that have evolved through cultural concepts and perspectives. Thank you! ☺️🙏🏼
🙏 Thank you!
Excellent-well done! Looking forward to the next one
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
@@TwoBuddhasMeditation thank you looking forward to the next one keep up the great work🤩
Mark are you still with the Bay area group? I dont see your you tube videos no more?
No, I left. I’m with Two Buddhas now. All my videos moved to the new channel: Two Buddhas. Please let me know if you can’t find the new channel
@TwoBuddhasMeditation TY Mark I thought so, I felt there was some underlying conflict there, I may be wrong. Is TwoBuddhas a new Nichiren Shu association or group?
@@ZazysDKurd Two Buddhas is an indepedent Nichiren Tradition community, not affiliated with any sect or school. We're all about finding new releveant ways to share the joy of chanting Namu Myoho Renge Kyō for the modern world. There wasn't so much a "conflict" as a differing of opinion on what works in the 21st Century. Nichiren Shu is very committed to a traditional Japanese style.
@@TwoBuddhasMeditation TY Mark, I appreciate the feedback!!
@@ZazysDKurd Hi, you know my name, who are you? 😀🙏
Where can I find chapters 1-9?
Hi Billie, unfortunately those chapters never got recorded! We do plan to offer the whole series again in 2025. Please subscribe to our channels for updates! We're very happy you are enjoying the series!
Tutorial, tutorial, tutorial 😅
hhmmmm... that's a GREAT idea!!! I'll work on it. Might be a few weeks. Thanks for the awesome suggestion!
Thank you for articulating this sense of the process of chanting revealing a state of Non Duality, an uncomplicated and natural arising of joy, wisdom and a broader perspective of life’s challenges ☺️🙏🏼
You're welcome!

Infinite Peace 🙏❤️🙏

Gohonzon is not supposed to be on camera.
Hello, thank you for writing. I understand your comment, and I respect your opinion. I am sorry this makes you so angry. Only Nichiren Shoshu and the Soka Gakkai believe this. None of the other Nichiren schools believe this. I hope you can respect that my school of Nichiren Buddhism does not share the same opinion and prohibition on showing the Gohonzon. I wish you the very best and am very happy you are chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.
Didn’t you have a whole group Lotus Sutra study posted on RUclips on another channel that got removed?
The entire series was moved to this new channel
Nice! 🙏
Thank you!
Thank you!
You're welcome!!!
'Promo SM' 😀
Thank you for these video. I'm trying to find a way to watch them in order 🙏
Hello, thank you for watching! The videos are all named in chapter order starting with Chapter 10. Enjoy!

Hi, seems like your website is down.
Still in development, hopefully launching this week. Thank you for connecting.
@@TwoBuddhasMeditation Ah, OK. Thanks for answering. Any courses coming up?
🤍🕉️🙏
Thank you!
🙏🤍
🙏🤍🫶
Keep on listening to Pops singing "We have all the Time in the World for Love". GREAT! - what a great and understandable way to convey the core emotional message of the Lotus Sutra.
❤🪷🙏 Thank you so much!
Great, great videos, buddhists need it. I hope that Chapters 1-9 are on the way 🤍
So glad to hear you like them! Unfortunately we did not start recording the series until the 10th episode. Someday we hope give the entire series again.
Tutorial please!!
An interesting approach! Applause!
Thank you!!!!
Just looking at the Gohonzon brings peace and thoughts of the Spirit. Tonight, on the winter solstice I will chant this shodaigyo with an open heart and release my mind.
❤🙏😀
Thank you so much!💙 Any insights that have arisen for me during or shortly after chanting O - Daimoku have held a sense of “just knowingness ” a feeling of not being attached to the insight or needing to manipulate it, it “ just is “ ☺️🙏🏼
That’s super ! I presume this course was a few years ago ?
Yes, 20220-2022
Wow, so thorough and layered! Really enjoying this! Thank you so much ☺️🙏🏼
You're welcome! 🙏 We will try to post one a day to get the entire series posted as soon as possible.
Great material, I hope there will be more🌿
This state of “ No Concepts” can be experienced by chanting Namu Myoho Renge Kyo and focusing our attention on the Gohonzon. This is a state of non duality, pure presence, clarity, wisdom and insight! ☺️🙏🏼
