Breath Meditation for Peace and Insight

Greetings fellow practitioners,

The talk that I am sharing on this occasion was given just prior to a session of breath meditation. I talk about the way we can use the breath to maintain a sense of evenness and of 'staying in the middle' with regards the various pheonomena that arise in our minds. Lord Buddha describes breath meditation as the Crown Jewel of all meditation methods. That is quite a statement. In this talk we explore some of the reasons why this is so… and how to go about training in breath meditation for developing both peace (samatha) and Insight. (vipassana)

I hope that you may find something in the talk useful.

​With Loving-Kindness
