How to Meditate - Weekend Course with Jonathan Landaw (part 11)

0:29 So what I would like to offer during this session, I'm thinking of offering in two related parts. The first part to do the meditation, using this idea of a radiant sphere to cultivate increasing qualities of compassion, wisdom and skillful means. Report an error in the passage at 0:29 Highlight the passage at 0:29

1:00 to get a sense of what this kind of... How this kind of meditation can be practiced. In the second one, I'd like to add another element of meditation practice, and that is mantra recitation, specifically focusing on the mantra of the figure that represents enlightened compassion. Report an error in the passage at 1:00 Highlight the passage at 1:00

1:24 And I'm hoping that between the first part and the second part, we can take a break for those people who are interested to take a close look. At the figures we have over in that side of the room, which are very evocative representations of the figures standing for compassion. It's not absolutely necessary to do that, but you might want to just refresh your memory of it or just get an imprint. Report an error in the passage at 1:24 Highlight the passage at 1:24

1:58 Or, if you wish, you can just take a look at the face of the Buddha statue on your right. Which, for me, is one of the most evocative images of the qualities of enlightenment. And see if that kind of image, even though you'll only be seeing it briefly, see if that's something that you relate to as emblematic of these qualities of enlightenment. Report an error in the passage at 1:58 Highlight the passage at 1:58

2:26 But first, we'll start in a more abstract way. And simply use the idea of radiance itself. So, as we always try to do, we remember to start this practice with an altruistic motivation. We're Report an error in the passage at 2:26 Highlight the passage at 2:26

2:58 not engaging this practice just out of idle curiosity or out of some kind of intellectual interest, but because something deep inside wishes, Report an error in the passage at 2:58 Highlight the passage at 2:58

3:10 That it would be possible for beings to actually experience the happiness that all of us wish for and avoid the suffering that none of us wants. How wonderful it would be. Report an error in the passage at 3:10 Highlight the passage at 3:10

3:31 And so we generate the wish that by means of the practice that we're about to do, we can get closer to the state in which we can help others achieve the happiness that they desire and be free from the suffering that no one wants. And let that wish, try to cultivate and generate that wish and let that be the motivation for engaging in this next meditation practice.

4:20 You might want to take one or two cleansing breaths at this point just Report an error in the passage at 4:20 Highlight the passage at 4:20

4:28 to level the ground for the practice. And Report an error in the passage at 4:28 Highlight the passage at 4:28

4:43 when the mind has become relatively calm and clear and concentrated, Report an error in the passage at 4:43 Highlight the passage at 4:43

4:50 then bring to mind something that's emblematic of radiance. Spiritual radiance of the type that we talked about before, the radiance that comes from someone who is compassionately caring for someone else, the radiance that comes from wisdom, the radiance that comes from the skillful ability to help others. Report an error in the passage at 4:50 Highlight the passage at 4:50

5:19 You Report an error in the passage at 5:19 Highlight the passage at 5:19

5:23 may choose something like the radiance of the sun as an example, or anything else that gives that sense of the source. A fountain, an unending source of these qualities. You Report an error in the passage at 5:23 Highlight the passage at 5:23

5:46 can view them as golden in color or as white or as any other color that you find conducive. Report an error in the passage at 5:46 Highlight the passage at 5:46

6:00 So bring an image like that to mind and Report an error in the passage at 6:00 Highlight the passage at 6:00

6:25 Previously we brought it back to the present moment of the breath. Now we bring it back to this emblem of radiance. Report an error in the passage at 6:25 Highlight the passage at 6:25

6:41 So this, of course, is not something that we see with our eyes. It Report an error in the passage at 6:41 Highlight the passage at 6:41

6:49 appears to the mind itself. We're seeing it with the inner eye, Report an error in the passage at 6:49 Highlight the passage at 6:49

7:19 Now, imagine that inside this radiant, transparent sphere of radiance, The sphere of radiant light. Imagine that seated inside it is a figure that represents compassion, compassionate caring. Report an error in the passage at 7:19 Highlight the passage at 7:19

7:41 If you already have a figure like that in your background, like because of your religious background or cultural background, and there's some figure who represents to you this kind of compassionate radiance, Then you can visualize that figure on the inside, in the very center of that radiant sphere. And that radiant sphere, in fact, emanates from the heart of that being. Report an error in the passage at 7:41 Highlight the passage at 7:41

8:12 For Report an error in the passage at 8:12 Highlight the passage at 8:12

8:17 example, there are some people who are very, very inspired by the work of Mother Teresa in Calcutta. They have an image of the way she provides compassion and care for others. If that's something that's meaningful to you, Then you could imagine Mother Teresa in the center of that sphere of light which comes from her heart and emanates out in all directions. Report an error in the passage at 8:17 Highlight the passage at 8:17

8:44 Or you could use His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Or you could use anyone, famous or not famous, that represents this to you. A religious figure, a secular figure. It doesn't matter. It only matters that it communicates this quality of compassion in your experience. And Report an error in the passage at 8:44 Highlight the passage at 8:44

9:15 try to tune in to that. Compassionate radiance. And if there's no figure that represents this quality, then just stay with the radiant sphere of light. Report an error in the passage at 9:15 Highlight the passage at 9:15

9:38 So during this brief practice, we return to this sphere again and again as the source, as the fountain for the compassion that we ourselves wish to cultivate and expand. Report an error in the passage at 9:38 Highlight the passage at 9:38

10:04 So this practice with this sphere of light has two parts to it. One having to do with the inhalation and the other the exhalation. First we'll talk about those two separately and then towards the end we'll combine them into one practice. Report an error in the passage at 10:04 Highlight the passage at 10:04

10:26 So at first we're going to pay major attention to the inhalation part of the practice. So as we inhale, beautiful light, which is in the nature of great compassion, Report an error in the passage at 10:26 Highlight the passage at 10:26

10:41 Radiates out from the heart of this figure in front of us or from the center of this sphere in which that figure is visualized and shines into our body and mind and into the bodies and minds of all the beings surrounding us. Report an error in the passage at 10:41 Highlight the passage at 10:41

12:39 And since it's easier to feel compassion for certain beings who are near and dear to us, initially use them as the objects of our compassion. Report an error in the passage at 12:39 Highlight the passage at 12:39

12:52 As our compassion grows stronger and stronger, direct it towards these beings who are near and dear to us. But Report an error in the passage at 12:52 Highlight the passage at 12:52

13:21 People who, like ourselves, only wish to be free from suffering and to be endowed with happiness. Report an error in the passage at 13:21 Highlight the passage at 13:21

13:35 So empathize with their suffering and generate the wish to free them all from their problems and unhappiness. Report an error in the passage at 13:35 Highlight the passage at 13:35

13:52 So each time we inhale, we're drawing into ourself from this source of compassion, from those...

14:47 Of course, in addition to inhaling, we're also exhaling. So now we pay attention to the exhaling part of our breathing. And for this, We're letting go of anything that interferes with the cultivation of this compassion. Report an error in the passage at 14:47 Highlight the passage at 14:47

18:08 Now in the next phase, the radiance symbolizes unlimited wisdom, the ability to see things as they are. Report an error in the passage at 18:08 Highlight the passage at 18:08

18:24 So again, if it's helpful to think of a figure that represents this kind of clear-sighted wisdom to you, imagine that such a figure is inhabiting the radiant sphere in front of us. Report an error in the passage at 18:24 Highlight the passage at 18:24

18:40 Otherwise, just simply think that the sphere is radiating. With the light of wisdom. Report an error in the passage at 18:40 Highlight the passage at 18:40

20:18 think we are completely purified of this negativity. Report an error in the passage at 20:18 Highlight the passage at 20:18

26:34 How much we can use the power of imagination. Report an error in the passage at 26:34 Highlight the passage at 26:34

26:42 For some of us, when we think of imagination, we think, well, that's not real, so how can it have any effect? But for others of us, we sense that what we picture in our mind has a reality because it changes the complexion, the attitude of the mind itself. It begins to open up the heart. Report an error in the passage at 26:42 Highlight the passage at 26:42

27:16 soul if anybody here that Even that brief practice using power of imagination was beneficial. Then practices like that and other similar ones to that can be learned in even more detail. There are many available that are very, very powerful. However, if someone gives it a try, actually tries to do this practice, But it's not for them. It just doesn't seem to work. The time passes, but at the end there's no difference between how you felt at the beginning and how you felt at the end. Report an error in the passage at 27:16 Highlight the passage at 27:16

27:59 And if you kind of give it a sincere try a couple of times, and if it doesn't work, then, as the Dalai Lama says, just leave it aside. There's nothing incumbent upon us to have to do any of these practices. There's so many different ones and so many different approaches. We'll always be able to find some that work for us. But I offer that one because some people do relate to it. Report an error in the passage at 27:59 Highlight the passage at 27:59

28:28 And perhaps some change came about by doing even that brief practice. And you get a taste of it. Then you can always learn more and better ways of continuing. Report an error in the passage at 28:28 Highlight the passage at 28:28

28:43 And so now I'm faced with a little bit of a dilemma. We only have, as often happens when I teach and go on too long, we only have ten minutes left. And I had wanted to explain the mantra of compassion, O Mani Padme Hum, but to give it any kind of decent explanation, even a short one would fill up the entire ten minutes so we wouldn't be able to practice it. Report an error in the passage at 28:43 Highlight the passage at 28:43

29:20 So, we can... I'm happy to continue in whichever way you would like. I could say something about the mantra, I could demonstrate it, I could give a general idea about it, or we can just bring this to a conclusion. But to be able to do a full mantra recitation, meditation on it, there's just not enough time left. Give us the ten minute version.

30:10 Om Mani Padme Hum. Om Mani Padme Hum. Om Mani Padme Hum. This is sometimes referred to as the six-syllable mantra. And those syllables form certain words. Actually, only two of them are words that you would find in any dictionary. Report an error in the passage at 30:10 Highlight the passage at 30:10

30:36 So the second and third syllables are Mani. Mani. And Mani is a jewel. It's a wish-fulfilling jewel. If you want to think of what it means, it comes out of Indian mythology. In Hinduism, you read about the Mani, that the hero or the heroine goes on a quest to find these jewels, often deep in the ocean. Report an error in the passage at 30:36 Highlight the passage at 30:36

31:05 And when he or she brings this jewel back to the earth, Then it has the ability to grant whatever wishes you want, you know, like riches. So in some respects, the money is very much like Aladdin's lamp, right? The hero Aladdin has to go on a journey, goes to great trouble, finds his lamp, and when he rubs it, the genie appears and grants any of his wishes. Report an error in the passage at 31:05 Highlight the passage at 31:05

31:39 So that's what the money is like. A wish-fulfilling gem. Something that you possess fulfills your deepest wishes. Report an error in the passage at 31:39 Highlight the passage at 31:39

31:51 The mani here stands for compassion. Compassion in method. So why is the wish-fulfilling Joel emblematic of compassion? Here's an example. Let's say you're sick. You have some kind of disease. And in your community there are two doctors, both of whom have the power to... Report an error in the passage at 31:51 Highlight the passage at 31:51

32:15 diagnose and cure that disease. So who can you rely on? Who has the power to help you? They both have the knowledge to help you, but only the one with compassion is going to help you. So in that way, compassion is the wish-fulfilling jewel. It is what helps, because it's the very heart of caring, mani. Report an error in the passage at 32:15 Highlight the passage at 32:15

32:46 Compassionate method. So it's not only compassion as the wish and the thought, but it's also the methods that come from that. It's all the things that a compassionate being does to bring benefit to others. The next two syllables, Padme, form the word Padme, which means lotus. Report an error in the passage at 32:46 Highlight the passage at 32:46

33:12 Actually, Padma means lotus. Padme means in the lotus. Report an error in the passage at 33:12 Highlight the passage at 33:12

33:21 So the middle part of the mantra is the jewel in the lotus. And in this case, even though in a lot of symbolism the lotus stands for compassion, many times it does. In this particular interpretation, which comes from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Padme stands for wisdom, the insightful wisdom aspect of the path. Report an error in the passage at 33:21 Highlight the passage at 33:21

33:51 And one may wonder, well, I don't understand why lotus stands for wisdom. And there's a very interesting explanation. The lotus, similar to the water lily, which is basically its cousin, grows in muddy places. But it grows in such a fashion that it opens up its flowers above the surface. So it's immaculate. So it's a symbol of something which grows out of the mud but is unstained by the mud. Report an error in the passage at 33:51 Highlight the passage at 33:51

34:31 So when a lotus is used to symbolize compassion, then it symbolizes compassion being unstained by selfishness. But here it symbolizes wisdom because wisdom is the mind which is unstained by selfishness. By all those projections and, what was the word I used? Report an error in the passage at 34:31 Highlight the passage at 34:31

35:01 Talking about what we place over things. Remember? No, no, no. Things are just momentary arisals of subatomic particles, but on top of that we superimpose, right? All the superimpositions that we place that interfere with our understanding of reality. Report an error in the passage at 35:01 Highlight the passage at 35:01

35:28 So, just as the lotus is free from the mud out of which it grows, it's unstained by that. Wisdom is unstained by all these false projections and superimpositions that the mind in its misunderstanding gets misled by. Report an error in the passage at 35:28 Highlight the passage at 35:28

35:49 So, mani, compassion, in the lotus of insightful wisdom. So, compassion. Compassionate method and insightful wisdom are the two aspects of the spiritual path. Aum and Hung, the first and the last syllables, aren't words that have literal meanings the way Mani and Padme do. But they are very powerful symbols. The Aum symbolizes the three doors. The three doors meaning the doors through which we have experience. Report an error in the passage at 35:49 Highlight the passage at 35:49

36:29 So there's the door of the body, physical experiences, speech and of the mind. It's through these three doors that we relate to others that we experience our life. So Aum stands for those three doors. And again you may wonder, well why does Aum stand for the three doors? It's because that syllable when written in Sanskrit from which it comes, There are three elements that make up that syllable. In English, when we write it just OM, there's only two elements, just the O and the M. Report an error in the passage at 36:29 Highlight the passage at 36:29

37:06 Though sometimes they add a third, a little circle over the M, to give that sense of three. But in Sanskrit, it's made up of three elements. In fact, old texts, if you look at it, when they use the word OM, they don't spell it OM, they spell it AUM. Some of you may have seen. Some older text, it's spelled that way. That demonstrates those three characters that make up that syllable. So those three stand, in this interpretation, stand for the body's speech and mind. Report an error in the passage at 37:06 Highlight the passage at 37:06

37:43 And it's the body in speech and mind that we have at the moment, which, until we are a fully enlightened being, has some level of obscuration of it, some level of delusion, some level of limitation. But eventually, when enlightenment is received, all of those obscurations and defilements are removed, then they become the pure body, speech and mind of an enlightened being. Report an error in the passage at 37:43 Highlight the passage at 37:43

38:10 So our body becomes a radiant body of light, infinitely useful, our speech becomes helpful, beneficial, and our mind becomes filled with all the good qualities. of enlightenment. Report an error in the passage at 38:10 Highlight the passage at 38:10

38:29 when Report an error in the passage at 38:29 Highlight the passage at 38:29

38:33 So Aum represents the body, speech and mind both at the beginning and what we're aiming for, enlightenment. Hung, the last syllable, which I've written H-U-N, sometimes it's written H-U-N-G, but it's neither hum or hung, it's hung. It's a sound somewhere in between those two. But in English, it's very hard to represent that. So H-U-M or H-U-N-G is as close as we get to it. Report an error in the passage at 38:33 Highlight the passage at 38:33

39:05 So we have Om, Vani, Padme, Hung. And Hung is a syllable which stands for immutability, diamond hard, Vajra-like. So this indicates the indestructibility of the mind of enlightenment. That once this enlightenment is achieved, there's no falling back from it. The mind is just pure and that's the way it vibrates from then on. Report an error in the passage at 39:05 Highlight the passage at 39:05

39:47 So the whole mantra, if you wanted to interpret it, is... Through the combined practice of compassionate method and insightful wisdom, our ordinary body, speech and mind is transformed into the body, speech and mind of an enlightened being. If you wanted to interpret the whole thing, that's the whole thing. And if you want to hear the Dalai Lama explain it in a very interesting five minute video, just plug in Dalai Lama mantra of compassion.

40:24 Just put that in and you'll see him addressing this question in India to a group of students. And then he explains it like that. That explanation from the Dalai Lama is very powerful because among the Tibetans and many others, the Dalai Lama is considered a human manifestation. Of Chen Resik, the Buddha of Compassion.

41:07 So, having said all that, does that mean that every time we recite the mantra we have to think through the combined practice of compassion, method and insightful wisdom in the ordinary body, speech and mind, be transformed into the body, speech and mind, be enlightened? No, no. We just get an idea of what this movement is and the real meaning of the mantra is not in its words or its little translation. Report an error in the passage at 41:07 Highlight the passage at 41:07

41:34 The real meaning of the mantra is in its vibration. And so when the mantra is recited or thought of or heard, it's the vibration. These weren't sounds or syllables created by ordinary mind. But it came directly from the enlightened mind. And so it has the power to resonate with these qualities. And so what I'd like to do very, very extremely briefly is just recite the mantra just 21 times. Report an error in the passage at 41:34 Highlight the passage at 41:34
