Meditation and the Science of Human Flourishing Workshop - Part 4

CCARE and Tergar Meditation Community held Meditation and the Science of Human Flourishing workshop followed by a Conversation on Compassion.
Can we cultivate well-being in the same way that we can train our bodies to be healthier and more resilient? If so, how might we use the practice of meditation to experience equanimity, to open our hearts fully to others, and to cultivate insight and wisdom? In this workshop, two world-renowned experts, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche and Richard J. Davidson, PhD, shared their perspectives and insights on meditation and the cultivation of well-being. This workshop included teachings on simple meditation practices that help us to recognize and nurture the mind’s natural qualities of awareness, compassion, and wisdom, as well as discussions on the practice and science of self-transformation and the cultivation of well-being.

I am curious to know what Mr Rinpoche's opinion is about meditation music and chanting during meditation.

[@mayanza]

A few years ago, when I started meditating, buddhist meditation music really helped in focusing and keeping my meditation consistent. Over the time, it became easier to focus so I stopped using music.
Chanting, on the other hand, is a form of meditation where you focus on the vibration of the sound created by mantras. It has its own benefits.
Peace. :)

I think At this level of talk Rinpoche was needed a translator.... He might had been given better answers of Jim.

[@Evolvingstardust]

True.

[@redglazedeyez6652]

Why did jim have to come and ruin the show

[@Evolvingstardust]

He did ask some relevant questions, but seemed to be a little rude. Obviously it’s down to language and cultural differences.
