Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Meditation: The Way of the Buddha - Video Series 2 of 7

In 1974 during the inaugural session of The Naropa Institute, Chogyam Trungpa presented this course on meditation. In addition to attending the class, students participated in meditation sessions throughout the week and attended discussion groups with his assistants. His course became the basis for the introductory meditation class that was given for many years at Naropa to incoming students. The course was held during the same period of time that Rinpoche was teaching The Tibetan Buddhist Path. In the first talk, Chogyam Trungpa gives a general orientation to meditation in the Buddhist tradition and gives meditation instruction. This is essentially the same basic instruction that he gave throughout the time he was the the United States. It is also virtually identical with the meditation instruction that was the basis of Shambhala Training is is still used extensively, along with other approaches. In later talks, he describes meditation practice in greater detail, as well as related topics, such as mindfulness and awareness and the five skandhas. Included in this series is a talk given by Chogyam Trungpa to inaugurate a nyinthun, or a day of meditation practice. This seminar is being presented for its up-to-date, timeless presentation of the practice of Buddhist meditation.
