[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Reading for this Saturday: How to Meditate

Hi all,

I am attaching the reading for our virtual reading group this Saturday at 5 pm. It is a chapter from Culdasa (John Yates)' book, The Mind Illuminated. 

Even for experienced practitioners, it can be interesting to read about how to mediate. This chapter. in particular, makes a distinction between the concepts of attention and awareness (concepts that Devin often uses) that I find clear and helpful. 

I'll send out more discussion questions before the meeting, but as you are reading, you might think about whether this description fits with your own practice or how Culadasa's concepts of consciousness and mindfulness shape your view on meditation. 

Best,

Kavya
