Shinzen shares what he considers his long-time teacher Joshu Sasaki Roshi's key innovation to Buddhadharma and how this "three dimensional model of expansion and contraction" has combined with Mahasi Sayadaw's noting technique to form a kind of "Burmo-Japanese fusion" that informs his mindfulness teaching. Filmed in Nov. 2009 at Mt. Carmel Spiritual Centre in Niagara Falls.
A different stage/interpretation of arising/ passing: arising arises from a felt unity-presence (an expansion/differentiation from that unity) . . . is felt as differentiated presence . . . then passes back into the same felt unity-presence (contraction/unification).
Establishing that felt unity-presence permanently . . . is spiritual practise.
The unity-presence is NOT just awareness -- it is a FELT energetic presence that is also aware (and loving, too . . . but that's separate topic).

Yes, fascination, is that som explanation för the "energy" goes upp and down in qigong practise? I am to much of a beginner to be able to understand the bigger picture of the qigong-practise.
