Basic Meditation Instruction

Readings:

These are most helpful if printed out as ‘hard copies.’ The Concise Meditation Instruction (PDF) fits on one page, and may be useful as a short primer or a refresher. But the full instructions on posture, working with the breath, and more can be found in this very accessible reading:

Detailed Instructions from the book “Mindfulness in Action” by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche (PDF)

Audio Recordings:

These are recordings of live class presentations. They are meant to serve as a refresher for those that attended one of these sessions, or for those that are too far away to attend one. Since they are actual classes, they are a bit rough and also include periods of silence when participants are meditating. We hope that you find them helpful.

Each link should open a new tab or page in Dropbox, where streaming or downloading are both options.
