Cross River Meditation Center Podcast
Religion & Spirituality:Buddhism
This is a live stream and recording of our Tuesday evening Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on October 9, 2018. The stream begins every Tuesday at 7:15 PM Eastern US time.
My Tuesday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion will be the fourth in a series on the meaning of Jhana - levels of meditative absorption. This talk will be the second talk on the Samādhaṅga Sutta. In this sutta the Buddha teaches Five Factors of Concentration that relate directly to four levels of Jhana or meditative absorption. This sutta is remarkable in the scope of underlying Dhamma referenced.
“Thus, from establishing this Five-Factored Concentration they enter and remain free of the defilements of greed, aversion, and deluded thinking. They are mindful of their release through direct experience right here and now.” (Samadhanga Sutta)

Each Tuesday class will have a twenty-minute Shamatha-Vipassana meditation followed by my Dhamma talk and Sangha discussion and conclude with Metta intentional meditation.
