WALKING MEDITATION
Last week, we were instructed in the walking meditation (cankama) and its benefits. For those who joined recently, this was quite a challenge, as the slowing down was a new dimension of the practice. Afterwards, the meditators were told to slow down gradually - luckily! The benefits were logical, though not for all obvious. This week we will evaluate the experiences!

MANY QUESTIONS
This week, there were so many questions related to the implementation of the Dhamma in day-to-day life and its connection to daily practice. It was an informal session in which a wide range of topics was discussed and explained.

ON THE BENEFITS OF METTĀ
Last week we explored the benefits of the practice of Mettā (Loving Kindness), one of the four lofty mental states . Among the total of 11 benefits mentioned by the Buddha, some were highly needed in stressful times:
One may sleep peacefully
One may wake up with a clear and peaceful mind
One may have no disturbing dreams
One may be physically protected from stress-related ailments.
So we are urged to practise this wonderful quality!

GUARDING THE SENSES
Last meditation class we focussed on the influence of the sensory perceptions. It became all the more clear how important it is to guard the mind if we want to make progress on the Path to Emancipation.

DEALING WITH THE REAL PROBLEM IN LIFE
Last week we explored the real problem in life and how to tackle it. Not by faith in something outside our own mind, but within! We solve dukkha in the here and now, showing that the root cause of all dukkha is within our misunderstanding reality.
