Talk: 19840920-Larry_Rosenberg-UNK-buddhas_ancient_med_path_a_modern_challenge_part_ii-1515 Leandra Tejedor Start_time: 01:15:09 Display_question: What distinguishes insight meditation from other forms of meditation? Keyword_search: motivation, insight meditation, simplicity, formal sitting, instructions, pay attention, mind, body, listen, posture, Zen, retreat, meditation center, monastery, direct perception, teachings, living wholeheartedly Question_content: Questioner: What is the motivation feature of insight meditation? Larry: I would say it's simplicity. There's no ceremonial… stuff. There's no…chanting or bowing, or there's nothing. The formal…the emphasis is on formal sitting. So, there's a lot of sitting. And within that, even that, the instructions are remarkably simple. It's essentially what we've… it's to pay attention, to the mind and body. Let's say, when you're sitting. It's easier that way, of course, because you're not doing anything else, to just listen to the mind and body, without any judgment, without… condemning it. And then when you get up from sitting, to bring that same awareness into every posture that you go through, during the day. Break_line: So, it would be…it's very similar to Zen, to certain schools of Zen, which is a training in living, wholeheartedly. It should be that, it often isn't, because people get locked into the retreat motif. And therefore, when they leave the retreat, they become much sloppier, much, because that isn't sacred. And then when they go to a retreat, at a meditation center, then the quality of attention goes up in a quantum leap. I didn't get to that, but that…that happens. So, there's sacred places that you go to do your practice. And when you go there, suddenly you become more alert, and you straighten up, and you eat very mindfully, and et cetera. You become very humble, and then you leave there, and it's out the window. And that's another spin off of this approach. Now, if you were living in a monastery, you would never be challenged that way, because you're living in, or not as much. You'd be living in the special surroundings, a good deal of the time. But I would say it's the simplicity, the simple direct perception of each moment, quality of each moment, seeing what's there, and learning from that. Around that is a lot of teachings, and ideas, and models, of how things are. But you don't have to accept that. The prerequisite, is a willingness to take a look at yourself. End_time: 01:17:23
