A Mindfulness Path Arising Between Empowering Contrasts ~ Shinzen Young

Shinzen shares that the way he presents mindfulness is based on empowering contrasts, some of which he lists. Shinzen goes on to say that maturity on the path is knowing when to work those contrasts for optimal efficacy and shares some examples of how this can play out when students use some of the options available to them. He ends with the Buddha's metaphor of tuning the lute (vina). Filmed at a group process in Jan. 2010 at the Mary and Joseph Retreat Center in Rancho Palos Verdes, C.A.
