We give you instruction in the foundational practice of shamata, or calm-abiding meditation. This is THE trailhead to the path of meditation according to the Buddhist tradition.
**But, as you’ll hear, one needn’t be a Buddhist to enjoy the benefits of this profound and life-changing practice. The only prerequisites are the belief that we can be better than we are today, and the diligence of keeping up a consistent, daily practice.
With this episode, you’ll have everything you need to get started.**

As the culmination of this season’s content, we provide instruction in compassion meditation, known as tong-len.

The Buddha’s fundamental teaching that we can reduce and ultimately transcend suffering is good news. (Maybe the BEST news!) The first step is cultivating understanding what suffering really is, and how it arises in our own experience. With the lyrics to “Character Zero” (as performed on 4/4/98), we examine The Three Kinds of Suffering.

**Will there ever be a more natural convergence of Dharma and Phish? Possibly not, but we'll keep looking.
Topics include a comparison of the controlled environment of the recording studio with our formal meditation practice; how postmeditation practice supports our time on the cushion; the skill of finding a balance between technique and openness; and how Phish fans find themselves uniquely acclimated to the thrill of spontaneity and exploration.**
