On March 23, 2018, we had about 30 minutes meditation session and had a great discussion on reincarnation, mindfulness meditation, attachment in Buddhism and cancer with our master teacher, Bhante Maithree. In summary, we talked about
Reincarnation
In Buddhism there is a belief in rebirth, (even as an animal in the next life). Your soul will reborn again into a different body.
Mindfulness meditation Mindfulness meditation is pay attention to the breath, when your attention wanders, aware of it and return. Allow thoughts to come and go without any judgment and return to your focus on breath. You will have many thoughts, and it’s ok. Bhante Maithree gave us an example of a thief coming to your house.
Attachment , Accepting and letting go In your daily life, you will have some difficult attachment arise, then see the suffering, aware of it, expand your mind beyond it, you are bigger than the attachment. Let it lightly float away. Bhante Maithree gave us an example of a baby growing and letting go and accept the nature.
Cancer and meditation Meditation can improve the lives of cancer patients; mindfulness has helped bring a sense of peace and emotionally balanced to many people living with cancer.
We will continue with the teaching, meditation and discussion, Please join us. See you on March 30, 2018 at 7:30pm.
With Metta,
