Beginners Guide To Meditation with Shinzen Young (9 parts)
Submitted by webstaff on Wed, 2007-10-03 22:48.
The Beginners Guide To Meditation Series found us. We were researching a completely different topic when this gem of a series found us. The 9 part Beginners Guide To Meditation Series is by Shinzen Young. This is a audio series in a video format. We were unable to find a MP3 version for you. This is a great series on meditation for anyone considering meditation for the first time or those of you that have been meditating for most of your life. Shinzen, has an easy going manner of explaining meditation that is easy to understand and absorb. The type of meditation Shinzen speaks of is vipassana meditation, also known as mindfulness or insight meditation. Here you will find how vipassana can be applied to many practical issues as well as how it relates to other meditation practices such as Christian contemplation.
Originally derived from the Theravada school of Buddhism, vipassana can be practiced by followers of any (or no) religion as a useful mental skill set. Removed from its cultural and doctrinal trappings, vipassana meditation (usually under the name mindfulness) is finding clinical application in the fields of pain management, stress management, compulsions and as an adjunct to psychotherapy.
Shinzen Young became fascinated with Asian culture while a teenager in Los Angeles. Later he enrolled in the Ph.D. program in Buddhist Studies at the University of Wisconsin. Eventually, he went to Asia and did extensive training in each of the three major Buddhist meditative traditions: Vajrayana, Zen, and Vipassana. Upon returning to the United States, his intellectual interests shifted to the burgeoning dialogue between Eastern internal science and Western technological science. In recognition of his original contributions to that dialogue, the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology has awarded him an honorary doctorate. Shinzen's website can be found at http://www.shinzen.org/index.htm. We would like to thank Shinzen for providing this series.
