Hindrances and Distractions

On this day number 2 of the retreat, with Bhante Vimalaramsi, the discussion is around the topic of Hindrances and Distractions. Now that the meditator has had a day to practice, they are running into the normal obstacles to practice. Bhante talks about methods to overcome those problems with his 6r’s system which is based on Right Effort of the 8 fold path.Bhante Vimalaramsi teaches “TWIM” (Tranquil Aware Wisdom Meditation) that is based on the instructions directly from the Majjhima Nikaya of the Buddhist Suttas. The object of meditation is Metta and ultimately this meditation will lead one quickly and joyously to awakening in this very life. More information on this practice is at dhammasukha.org
