Shinzen speaks to the question "How do I find a good meditation teacher." Shinzen talks about the activity of teaching as subtle teaching, descriptive teaching, and explicit teaching. Filmed at Mt. Carmel Spiritual Centre in Niagara Falls.
@SalsaTiger83 Maybe so. You might also try posting a question at dharmaoverground (dot) org Some very knowledgeable practitioners hang out in the forums there.
@boabysands123 yes that might be so, but maybe some people with some experience in meditation stumble upon this video and maybe some of them can offer me some advice?
@SalsaTiger83 I'm pretty sure these videos are uploaded by pals of Shinzen's and that he doesn't respond to questions here. You could check out his sites basicmindfulness(dot)com and shinzen(dot).org
Hey, do you have any tips on how to develop the ability to sustain a meditative pose without too distracting levels of pain? I am trying, but after about two years I still can't go more than 10 minutes......
I didn't know that there are professional teachers who are afraid of the "E" issue. Why are such people teaching at all given that E is a permanent possibility in a group of students? But I can understand a teacher's reluctance to treat E as an event if she or he believes that E is best understood as an unfolding process.
Thank you, this was quite excellent !
