Advanced Meditation | Objectless Samādhi | Ānāpānāsati | Brahmavihāra | Mindfulness of the Body

An open discussion where we explore the different kinds of meditations taught by the Buddha. We have a look at the advanced meditation practice, objectless samādhi (animitta samādhi), how to practice Ānāpānāsati (Mindfulness of Breathing) after the Brahmavihāra training, and how mindfulness of the body relates to the Buddha's path of mental liberation.

Dhamma talk by Bhante Ānanda, Sri Lanka Retreat, January 2024.
